Amazing. Magical. Real. Raw. Life-changing.

OMG.... What a loss..... after encountering some of their clients and staff, seems to be a good place to waste money.

My first experience was when l had a 10am phone interview with Sadie and waited and waited for her to call and finally when it was 12:45pm and she still hadnt and we had cancled things and made special arrangements to be ready at 10am, l finally called Onsite to tract her down and no one could find her so l had to start from scratch with someone new who told me entirely different things than what Sadie had said. I quickly learned this would be a pattern. I had wanted to come for a 5 day intensive but every staff member l spoke to gave me a different and conflicting answer of what to expect and caused me so much stress l ended up throwing out the completed paperwork once my immune system crashed and l ended up with a dangerously high fever and ended up needing emergency medical care brought on by the stress of talking to a handful of people that clearly dont talk to each other. I came to the realization l could not focus on anything at a place filled with staff that l can not trust. Each one claimed the last one was the wrong one. Maybe the therapists are good, but it is run by a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off going around in circles!!! DO NOT TRY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE 5 DAY INTENSIVE PROGRAMS IF YOU WANT A STRAIGHT ANSWER.

Such a beautiful place... Wish others could experience it. I have heard nothing but great things about Onsite.

I cannot express my gratitude I feel for Onsite. In April of 2018 I attended the Living Centered Program and it truly changed my life. I was among 57 other strangers, who I quickly bonded with, and realized we all connected with our search for happiness, serenity and our personal truths. The lectures, small groups and therapists at Onsite simply could not have been better. I was afraid at first to have to surrender my cell phone and have 2 roommates, but these were also favorite parts for me. To be truly disconnected, and have time completely to myself, to focus only on myself, was a gift! And, to go back each night and have new friends to share my thoughts and new personal discoveries with was genius. I have been telling anyone I can that they should go to the Living Centered Program - we all deserve time in this crazy world to refocus, recenter, and understand why we are who we are, and learn how to be who we want to be. Thank you Onsite for giving me back myself - and teaching me how to stay true to myself and say goodbye to the garbage that I have let occupy my brain and steal my serenity. I will forever be grateful!!

Unless you are an addict IN RECOVERY, I do not recommend this program (the Living Centered Program). When I went to this facility, it was very hard to find reviews. It still is hard to find reviews. The testimonials on the site also don't give you a lot of help. Anyway, I hope this review is easy to find for someone considering the facility. The facility was recommended to me based upon a specific issue. The facility is not designed to address all issues, yet when you "apply" to go they tell you that the facility will be helpful to everyone. I paid approximately $5K with air travel to attend the living centered program. The guidelines are no computer devices, no phones, and no outside contact for the week. People did not adhere to this rule. If you adhered to the rule, you felt lonely at the facility because while you were not breaking the rule and communicating with the outside, others were. Individuals also spent time smoking and eating the items we were instructed not to eat. Again, if you were adhering to the rules, you had no devices or tools of relaxation while others did. With all that aside (the rule breaking), my biggest issues with the facility are (1) the cost; (2) no long term effects after spending thousands of dollars; and (3) the refusal to give full information when applying.********************************************************************************************* *************************************** ************************************* Onsite is a facility mainly for people with addictions (drug, alcohol, sex, etc). There are other people who attend the Living Centered Program but the primary participants are addicted to something or have relatives addicted to something. When you complete the program, the participants have developed a level of trust with each other but there is no long term change evident. On the last day, many people rush to go back to being the way they were before they came. Promises of change or being changed are not there, only the expectation that you will seek further guidance once you leave the facility. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, the facility knows there are no long term effects so they give you a list of other programs to attend at the facility. I found this disappointing. Y would a person pay thousands to only be told to come back to another program.

Onsite was a game changer for my husband and me. He did a custom trauma intensive and we did the Coupleship Intensive together. We've been married 39 years, and our experience there was like hitting a reset button on our marriage. We were able to break decades of old patterns that had kept us from resolving conflict and developing an intimate emotional connection with one another. We are so grateful for this program.

The staff is top tier! The living Centered Program guided me through a process of healing past traumas that I had previously worked on in therapy for years without resolution. I believe everyone that has the opportunity to attend any Onsite program should definitely do so as it is life changing! Thank you to the staff for your hospitality and kindness!!!

Ellie Hobson

Onsite was a complete game changer for me! I’ll be sure to tell everyone about my experience and encourage everyone I know to go! They love you so well and I felt seen, heard, loved and safe! This place is special and I’ll be back for more for sure! Miles is an outstanding, humble leader! Thank you so much for your outstanding hospitality and love! I hope to recreate something like this in Scotland!

This place has changed my life for the better. The staff treats you with so much kindness and intentionality and makes you feel truly special. Their cabins are beautiful and provide everything I needed for a much needed restful stay. But most importantly, onsite provided me with emotional tools to be successful in my everyday life. I have tried so many programs but this one by far has had the biggest impact! If you love yourself, invest in onsite!

I've wanted to write a review of Onsite since leaving the Living Centered program but hesitated because I didn't want to do it out of malice. That said, I hope that others who try to do research before making the investment and find limited specific information available can see this review and find it helpful in making their decision. First, I have no problem with the Onsite staff -- I found them generally helpful and informative/responsive to my questions. The facilities are lovely and very comfortable. However, I found the content of the program quite unhelpful. I am someone who has been working on addictions recovery and emotional healing for many years -- 15. (I'll be 40 soon). I have spent countless hours in 12-Step programs sorting through my behavior, motivations, and old patterns, etc. I have also had numerous therapists and psychiatrists and made my best efforts to look at my family history and reasons for doing things; I've also tried non-analytical approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, DBT, and Buddhist practices... Onsite advertises itself as a place that specializes in trauma and emotional codependency, and I hoped that it would be the place where I could finally dig in deeper to what I perceive as older traumas/patterns from childhood emotional abuse and chronically damaging family dynamics that keep me stuck in repetitive subconscious behaviors, despite all of my efforts toward living an integrated life. Unfortunately, I found the Living Centered program to be superficial in its approach to healing. As I was worried might be the case, all large group activities were focused on very basic skills and introductions to concepts like codependency and the transmission of family addictions and maladaptive behaviors... If I'd never looked into these issues before or never pursued any introspection, I suppose I might have found this enlightening, but for anyone who has done any work on themselves coming into the program, I can't see how this basic level of work can be very helpful. As far as the small group work, which is done for several hours per day, I hoped that that might be where I would make progress. Unfortunately, although I enjoyed the people in my group and admired their bravery in looking into themselves, with 8 or 9 people in a group and only 5 days to work, you end up getting a total of about 1.2 hours per person of attention. On the second day when we started re-enacting childhood traumas, I thought I was just *starting* to get somewhere, but then my turn was over, and it was time to move on to the next person, and I had nowhere to go with the emotions that we had just touched. The next day I shared that I felt my experience was somewhat unresolved, but we really didn't have time to go back in depth and try to get in there. I was very disappointed. I think each small group works a bit differently, but essentially the way Onsite has the groups set up is that I think you're supposed to learn by watching and participating in the healing experience of the others in your group. If you're already used to doing this for years in recovery and therapy groups, I think the benefit is probably less impactful and I really needed more one-on-one attention to get to deep-rooted stuff that has not been properly attended to. I appreciate that I got a partial scholarship for the program, but I wish I had saved the $3000 that I invested and instead spent it on multiple out-of-pocket personal therapy sessions that could really go deep into what I need to address; not a half-hour of personal therapy for two days and then it's over... Several people in my program seemed to feel the experience was very impactful -- I am happy for them. However, I would suggest that anyone who has already looked deep within themselves and spent years working on recovery would better benefit from a combination of personal therapy and special spiritual retreats that target particular skills they want to develop. This is a nice time away, but not nearly enough to address real trauma.

Onsite offers a variety of workshops to meet your needs! The facility is top notch, the staff goes above and beyond and the food is incredible :) I am fortunate to have experienced Onsite and highly recommend to anyone! Just do it!!!
