What is Thrive premier training?

For more than 20 years, THRIVE Premier Training has helped people live their best lives. These 5-day immersive experiences were created to carve out intentional space for you to grow more joy, acquire and strengthen relational skills, and spread the ability to thrive in life and relationships. Often participants are leaders, counselors, pastors and teachers, but we believe everyone can learn new skills and spread joy!

Premier Training brings together the foundations of relational skill brain theory with hands-on skill practice. Each training track brings you deeper into practices to share joy, recover from negative emotions, resolve pain and stay connected with God in the good times and bad. The 19 relational skills are an application of the Life Model and available for you to practice today!

How do the tracks work?

When you attend, you will participate in ONE of the training tracks. If this is your first time attending, you will start with either Flex Track or Track 1.

Tracks 1-3 build upon each other, so completion of Track 1 is a prerequisite for Track 2, and completion of Track 2 is a prerequisite for Track 3. 

For Tracks 1-3, you will need to attend with a ‘bonded partner’, such as a spouse, family member, or close friend.

Prep Work

Each track includes its own tailored list of prep resources. Click the button on the right to go to a page with more information.

For tracks 1-3, these fall into two categories:

  1. Core Prep Work – Required for all track participants. This ensures everyone arrives with a shared baseline of knowledge.
  2. Specific Application Prep Work – For those wanting to spread relational skills to your network, we offer additional prep work specific to your context. 

Track Details

Each track has a page with more info. Select a track to see a detailed description of the theme and requirements before attending:
