Uncovering the Extraordinary Coach Within:
Trusting Insight and Wisdom
A 5-day Retreat with Joe Bailey in Spain
27th – 31st October 2023
We all come to this retreat with the intention to want to help other human beings—to be their true selves, to be happy, to trust their inner wisdom, to operate from inspiration and courage vs habits. Ironically, it is in our quest to help ourselves become more fully who we truly are, that we unleash the power of our own insights and wisdom to guide others to their own innate health.
This retreat/training is designed to do just that—to guide you to the extraordinary coach that lies within you. We are all designed perfectly to live in the feelings of mental health, resilience, and joy, but our own misunderstandings get in the way of the natural healer/coach that is our true essence. Through sharing my discoveries that have helped uncover my healer within and creating experiences for you to discover more clearly who you really already are, you will gain more trust and confidence in your moment to moment insights to guide others.
Taking time to be open and see more for yourselves is the key to unlocking this innate power and wisdom. That intention is all that is required to get the most out of this experience. So sit back, relax in the beauty of southern Spain and the Mediterranean Sea and treat yourself to the opportunity to go deeper into your sense of service, joy and love. Giving this gift to yourself will automatically increase your impact on those you touch through your work and relationships.
With deepest respect and love
Joe Bailey

If you have a chance to spend 5 days with Ian and Sheela exploring living through the path of ease, don’t hesitate! I came away with a restful, lighter state of being and a new understanding of certain things that may lead me in a different direction. It was a magical experience! Thank you, Ian and Sheela!
Joe has been an amazing coach and mentor for both myself and the staff at GBR. His years of expertise in both addiction and the 3 Principles have been invaluable. Joe has helped shape the treatment at our facility since it’s inception. His deep level of understanding has helped tremendously with team building, conflict resolution, self-awareness, and awaking of our staff and guests in treatment.

Getting coached by Joe is like sipping a cup of warm tea—you will always leave your session feeling comforted, supported and heard. Joe teaches in a way that you don’t feel you are being taught—he seems to radiate a way of being that just settles in, providing the tools to be able to approach clients, and the places they are stuck, with ease. His wisdom in the “human condition” and the source of suffering, is so simple and yet so profound. Progress in therapy tends to accelerate faster than any other approach I’ve utilized. It’s safe to say that Joe’s guidance has significantly impacted the work I do as well as the person I’ve become.
Stacy Bednar, Psychotherapist, Minnesota
I came to Joe knowing that I needed to make some deeper-level changes in my life. My old system of operating had broken down – it was no longer resilient enough to manage all of the stress in my environment and life. Joe helped me engage a new set of understandings that supported a thriving from within, no matter what struggles presented in the outside world. Just as important, Joe deeply embodies his work – he is curious, humble, honest, and challenging in just the right way. Just being in Joe’s presence invites me to see every challenge differently, and I leave our time together holding lightly exactly the things that were feeling so heavy moments before. Joe’s work is the work of truth, love, and hope, and he is an amazing guide in shaping a very different way of being in the world. I have so much gratitude for Joe and his work as a teacher, coach, and mentor.
