This option provides the opportunity to work one-on-one with an experienced WellAcademic coach.

  2. Determining Next Steps in the Academy; or
  3. Addressing Toxic Work Environments. 

Are discounts available?

Yes, we offer several ways to save on our retreats.

(1) Those who join the waitlist are eligible for $100 off the retreat rate if they register during the member-only registration period. This discount cannot be combined with any other deductions, promotions, or grants. Go here if you'd like to signup for the waitlist.

(2) Universities who plan to send five or more faculty to the same retreat are eligible for a 15% discount on each registrant's retreat rate. This discount does not apply to any optional services purchased (e.g., airport shuttle, individual coaching, and massage) and
cannot be combined with any other deductions, promotions, or grants. Contact Roxanne@WellAcademic for more information.

(3) A limited number of grants are available to WellAcademic Community Members who would benefit from the retreat but need assistance to cover the costs. These grants cannot be combined with any other deductions or promotions, including the member discount. Grantees are unable to purchase massages or individual coaching. Grants are on a first come, first served basis. Because we are only able to offer a limited number and do not ask for proof of need, please do not seek a grant if you have the means to attend the retreat without this assistance.

​If you are a WellAcademic Community Member and would like to request a grant, please contact Roxanne Donovan at Roxanne@WellAcademic.com. Those who sign up for the waitlist automatically become members. 

What about transportation?

Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson is the closest national/international airport to Elohee (approximately two hours, depending on traffic). Those flying to Hartsfield may purchase the optional round-trip transportation shuttle via the WellAcademic registration document. The service is arranged by WellAcademic but provided by Airport Star Shuttle. The cost is $150 for the roundtrip. Thursday pickup occurs curbside outside of the airport baggage claim at 2:00 pm. The shuttle departs Elohee at 1:15 pm on Sunday. More details are provided to those who register. Space is limited to the first 10 registrants who purchase the service.

Those who prefer not to purchase the shuttle option will need to secure their own ground transportation to Elohee. The airport has several rental car options.
