Behind the Scenes: What a CEU Escape Retreat Actually Feels Like

When I first imagined CEU Escape, I knew it had to be more than a beautiful location with a few Continuing Education (CE) hours tacked on. I wanted it to feel immersive, intentional, and unforgettable. And now, after hosting multiple nurse leadership retreats and launching accredited online nursing CE courses, I can confidently say: it’s all that—and more.

Arrival Energy: From Tension to Transformation

Guests arrive carrying more than luggage. They bring stress, questions, and the weight of leadership. But within hours, something shifts:

  • Shoulders drop

  • Laughter bubbles up

  • Conversations deepen

The welcome dinner isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment. It’s where strangers become allies, and the retreat begins to work its magic.

CE with Soul

At CEU Escape, CE isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about sparking breakthroughs. As an Accredited Nursing Continuing Education Provider BRN CEP #18153, we design both retreats and online courses that dive into topics like:

  • Emotional intelligence in leadership

  • Boundaries and burnout recovery

  • Leading with authenticity

  • Reconnecting with your “why”

And we do it in spaces that feel safe, scenic, and soul-nourishing—whether it’s a breezy conference room overlooking the ocean or an interactive online classroom you can join from home.

The In-Between Moments

Some of the most powerful shifts happen outside the sessions:

  • Morning journaling with coffee and ocean breeze

  • Poolside chats that turn into mentorship moments

  • Quiet walks where clarity finally clicks

These aren’t extras. They’re essential. Because leadership isn’t just learned—it’s lived.

My Favorite Part

“Watching a nurse leader go from exhausted to energized in just a few days? That’s why I do this.”

Every retreat and online course reminds me that when we create space for renewal, we create space for transformation. And that’s what CEU Escape is all about.
