Our Programs
Nestled in the quiet hills of Tennessee, away from the demands and distractions of everyday life, our intensives create the conditions that healing actually needs — safety, time, nature, and the guidance of deeply experienced, compassionate therapists.
Why Intensives Work
At Igniting Purpose, our intensives are powerful because they integrate faith-based counseling, experiential therapy, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to address the root—not just the symptoms. Participants experience accelerated healing, renewed clarity, and a restored connection to God, themselves, and others.
GROUPS
At Igniting Purpose, our Group Intensives provide a sacred space for healing. In small, supportive groups, we cultivate safety and trust, the very foundation needed to begin repairing the emotional damage of past experiences. Using experiential therapy and role-play, participants are guided through powerful relational repair work. Because the nervous system responds to emotional safety rather than just logic, these encounters allow the heart to experience profound healing. The mind may know it's a role-play, but the heart feels the impact of genuine connection.
COUPLES
In relationships marked by disappointment, betrayal, or constant conflict, it’s easy to fall into old patterns of self-protection, shutting down, lashing out, or drifting apart. These strategies may have once felt necessary, but over time, they create cycles of resentment, disconnection, and pain. Our couples intensives are designed to help you break those cycles at the root. Together, you’ll uncover the wounded places and begin writing a new chapter, one built on mutual understanding, emotional safety, and
restored trust.
INDIVIDUALS
Our 3-day individual intensives are designed to create real, lasting change, not by treating surface symptoms, but by helping you uncover the deeper patterns that keep you stuck. Often, the behaviors and beliefs that once protected you have become barriers, keeping you from emotional intimacy, authentic connection, and the purpose-driven life you were made for. These unconscious strategies can impact your relationships, career, and even your spiritual life.
Life Changing Intensives
Intensives offer a focused, immersive experience that allows for deeper insight and accelerated healing.
After years of offering traditional therapy, we've seen firsthand: there’s no comparison to the impact of a three-day intensive. This concentrated approach helps uncover root issues, interrupt cycles, and create meaningful, lasting change in far less time.
Why Intensives Work
Step away from the noise of everyday life and the limitations of weekly counseling. Our intensives create the space for focused, uninterrupted healing through experiential, evidence-based therapies — helping you make meaningful progress in just days.
Break Free From the Daily Grind
Our 3-day intensives go far deeper than traditional therapy, helping you break through limiting beliefs and unresolved trauma by addressing the root causes — not just the symptoms.
Move Beyond Surface Symptoms
We’ve witnessed hundreds of lives transformed through the power of our 3-day intensives. Marriages restored. Depression lifted. Addictions broken. New businesses launched. Artists rediscovering their voice and calling. When the space is safe, the process is intentional, and the heart is ready, breakthrough happens, emotionally, spiritually, and practically. One weekend can shift the entire course of a life.
Life Changing Impact
Intensive Overview
Each intensive begins with getting a picture of what you would like to accomplish by the end of the intensive. How would you see yourself? What are your goals? Every goal miracuoulsy is reach at the end of the intensive.
1. Create Goals
Experiential warm-ups are a vital part of the healing process. They help establish emotional safety, sharpen focus, and set the tone for deeper therapeutic work. Tools like art therapy and therapy cards gently surface underlying patterns and uncover the root causes of distress, allowing meaningful insights to emerge before moving into more intensive processing.
2. Warm Up
Healing can only happen where there is safety. Our approach is grounded in empathy, wisdom, and deep respect for your pace and process.
We take every measure to ensure that you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually safe throughout your intensive. We can only go as deep as we feel safe.
3. Safety
The Arno Profile Temperament Test is a powerful tool to help individuals understand their basic temperament needs and how they have been going about trying to fill those needs. Understanding temperament can crack the code towards effective communication.
4. Temperament Test
We provide high-quality, nutrient-rich meals that support brain function, emotional balance, and physical well-being. Each lunch is thoughtfully prepared to offer a home-cooked feel — because healing happens best when your whole self is cared for, body and soul.
4. Nourishment
Our 3-day intensive is thoughtfully structured for meaningful, lasting transformation. We begin by building safety and trust, then gently guide you into deeper work , exploring old narratives and emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
From there, we help you rewire limiting beliefs, align with your goals, and integrate new, healthier ways of thinking and relating. You will leave with a very specific aftercare plan for continued success.
5. A Program of Success
Equine Therapy
Equine therapy creates a safe, non-verbal space where deep emotional healing can occur. Horses naturally reflect human emotions, helping individuals identify internal struggles, build trust, and experience breakthroughs that traditional talk therapy often can’t reach.
