DARE Live
Real connection. Real practice. Real change
DARE has always been about more than information.
It’s about experience.
The app and book give you the tools—
but something shifts when you connect…
with others, with guidance, and with yourself in a more direct way.
DARE Live brings that to life.
Through retreats, workshops, and live online sessions,
we create spaces where real change happens—together.
DARE Retreats
The deepest level of change
There comes a point where you already understand the method…
But you’re still holding back.
The retreat is designed for that moment.

Ongoing connection and support
Inside the DARE app, we run live webinars twice a month, hosted by experienced DARE coaches like Aida Beco and Michelle Cavanaugh.
What to expect?
Why this matters
Anxiety thrives in isolation.
The more it stays internal,
the more real it feels.
DARE Live breaks that cycle.
Whether in person or online,
you’re stepping into a shared experience—
and that’s often where the real shift begins.
