Coachella Valley, California • Fall 2026

The Renewal Retreat

Burnout is not just an education crisis — it’s a community crisis. Educators, government administrators, and medical professionals carry enormous stress and responsibility. When they burn out, entire schools, hospitals, and communities feel the impact. One renewed teacher can reach 150 students in a single year, inspiring classrooms, schools, and districts — creating ripples of healing and possibility that extend far beyond campus walls.

The Renewal Retreat was created by ThriveWell Foundation to restore those at the heart of our classrooms, clinics, and civic institutions. This multi-day, immersive sanctuary in Fall 2026 will bring together 250 leaders for renewal, resilience, and practical tools to sustain well-being.

Rooted in Care.

Built for Resilience.

ThriveWell Foundation was created to bring care, connection, and resilience to the forefront of education. Based in the Coachella Valley, we host Renewal Retreats and provide wellness tools and practices designed to sustain both individual educators and entire school communities.

Our mission is simple: to nurture the people who nurture our children.
