Restore, Renew and Thrive!
The Thriving Well Institute offers various Retreats and Summits to help you thrive as a therapist!
Thrive Summits are larger CE conference style events hosted in gorgeous locations across the globe. These offer innovative CE learning sessions provided by industry leaders in our field. Guests also enjoy exploring beautiful destinations and networking and connecting with other summit attendees. We intentionally design these summits to offer learning sessions in the mornings with plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings to relax, explore, integrate and connect. These events typically have between 100-150 guests with 16-20 speaker sessions.
Thrive Retreats are smaller, intimate gatherings of 10-20 guests, designed to help you heal, restore and avoid burnout (our Restoration Retreats) or help you learn how to build a stronger, more profitable business (our Intuitive Entrepreneurial Retreats). Thrive Retreats are small, transformative retreat styled events designed to help you thrive in your personal and professional life.
Megan Gunnell has 25 years of experience hosting retreats, summits and building community and meaningful connections. Her events focus on self-care and wellness and help therapists access their highest potential.

Client Testimonials
“Words cannot express this immense feeling of gratitude and admiration that I have for Megan. Her recent RESET retreat was a life changing experience for me. The location she selected was incredible with outstanding service, delicious food, a variety of healthy activities, and breathtaking views. It exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Above anything, it was Megan’s steadfast commitment to guiding us on this journey of self-discovery, self-love and healing that made this experience so incredibly powerful. She provided us with so many unique tools, modalities, and experiences to encourage and support our refection, development and growth. We dug deep while in our sessions, really looking at the life we want to create and where we need to heal. We shed a lot tears through our days but shared a ton of belly laughs along the way. Megan ensured our days were also balanced with plenty of time to relax and process our individual experiences. It worked perfectly! The group of strangers I met on Day 1, quickly opened their arms to me and were so supportive and kind. The connection and friendships created are truly amazing and are a gift to this amazing journey. I will be forever grateful that Megan nudged me to take this leap of faith for myself. I will follow Megan anywhere she goes!”
"My desired outcome was how to live my life with less anxiety. I have been able to do that since I came home. Your retreat was one of the most authentic experiences I have ever had in my lifetime!"
"The experience was the beginning of a wonderful exploration of ME. It took me a little while to become vulnerable to open up, share my fears and hopes, and allow others to impact me through their journeys. Through the various tools introduced at the retreat, I began the process of releasing anxieties, anger, and fears that I’ve been harboring for a long time. It was an exhilarating feeling. As I began to release all the negative energy built up inside me, I became filled with light and peace. It was very powerful! I left the retreat with a sense of hope and joy that I can continue to grow and draw upon as I move forward."
"As I have danced on my yellow brick road my heart always desired more. It wanted to be seen, heard, love and supported, in the way that it gives out to the world. The story I told myself that I believed was true, was that my heart was too different to be loved. Joy dances around my heart as I say that story is no longer true. It never truly was but with Megan's divine leadership and the sisterhood tribe, my heart is now thriving with freedom, love and bliss."
"From the very beginning when I arrived I felt welcomed and I had a great sense of warmth and comfort. It was so nice to meet all the other women and hear their stories. By the end of the retreat, I truly felt like every woman there was one of my sisters and still stay in contact with them today! The experience was healing beyond measure. The effects of all the work to align mind, body, and spirit there in Costa Rica have lasted. I reflect on the experience often and use the tools I learned there in every day life. Overall, I can say with confidence that I have moved forward and grown as a direct result of that retreat experience. I can’t wait to go back!"
