Sandra Coan Certification 2025 Retreat!
Friends! I’m SO excited for our first Sandra Coan Certification Retreat, happening June 24th, 25th and 26th!! Here’s the info to help you plan your trip!
Where: Our retreat will be held at The Edgefield, located in beautiful Troutdale, OR. Troutdale is about a 20 minute drive from the Portland, OR Airport and about a 3 hour drive from SeaTac Airport in Seattle, WA.
Edgefield has a fascinating history - definitely take some time to read about it while you’re there and check out all of the art! And do yourself a favor and take the time to see Multnomah Falls while you are in the area! It’s a short drive from the Edgefield and well worth the visit!
Oh! And bring your bathing suit. The Edgefield has a gorgeous soaking pool- which is where I’ll be spending all of my free time!
Please note: The Edgefield is an historic property and most of the rooms have a shared bathroom. If you’d like to stay off property, there is a Best Western that is a short, five-minute drive away!

Sandra
