"A million thanks in putting together a Retreat that was nothing less than spectacular in my view. I must tell you that I have not attended any other conference or training where I sat on the edge of my seat and hung on every word of the impressive panel of speakers. It was honestly so informative and entertaining, and I loved meeting and learning from so many impressive colleagues and participants."

Marney Lutz, Calgary, AB

"I thought the Retreat was amazing and I learned a LOT, as well as meeting great people from around N. America with diverse backgrounds. I didn't know quite what to expect going in, but I was quite literally 'blown away' by the speakers and the content. Thank you so much for putting it all together, and I very much look forward to the next one!"

David Kitchen, Calgary, AB

"NADN did a marvelous job of putting together and executing an outstanding conference. The programs were different from what's available elsewhere - sessions were thought-provoking and inspring introspection. The accomodations were of the highest quality and our fellow colleagues were engaging. These programs cause me to rethink my approaches to common mediation issues, and I know will make me a better mediator."

Hon. Irma Raker, Bethesda, MD

"I highly recommend attending the NADN training retreats. The program was one of the best mediation trainings I have ever attended. The faculty were stellar – they were excellent communicators and each delivered very interactive and meaningful sessions. I left with valuable insights and hands-on tips and take-aways that I could immediately adopt into my mediation practice. It was such a pleasure being a student again!"
