Coachella Valley, California • Spring 2026

Heal the Healers Retreat

In Spring 2026, Thrive Well Foundation will host our first full Heal the Healers Retreat—a restorative gathering for educators, administrators, school leaders, and community partners across Southern California.

This one-of-a-kind retreat is dedicated to restoring, equipping, and uplifting the educators and leaders who hold so much for others.

Because:
✨ The healer also needs healing.
✨ The giver needs to receive.
✨ The thoughtful need to be thought of.
✨ The service provider needs to be served.

Rooted in Care.

Built for Resilience.

Thrive Well Foundation was created to bring care, connection, and resilience to the forefront of education. Based in the Coachella Valley, we host Heal the Healers 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.
