THE PROGRAM
Alter the Course|ATC Retreats is the dynamic 7-day/6-night retreat program located in Malibu, California.
ATC is an intentional pause. A space to reset and recharge while being inspired on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.
A program with a pulse that is not traditional therapy nor a treatment facility. There is a time and place for that, this is not that time; this is not that place.
An experiential journey where life-sustaining coping mechanisms are gained through daily experiences curated from our enrollment form.
In a world of Insta-this and Snap-that, a-pill-for-this, a-pill-for-that; ATC prescribes inspiration as the medication utilizing mavericks, visionaries and experts to come share their passion, path and expertise in an effort to ignite the passion that exists within all young people.
THE PURPOSE
ATC is that “something” that parents and young people have been looking for.
We seek to awaken the core of who are participants are and who they hope to be in this world.
We carry the simple but powerful belief that one person connecting with another can alter not just their lives, but the lives of those around them.
