Grey Matters International offers a retreat experience that combines the science of the brain with respect for the spiritual realities that shape people's lives. The program serves individuals dealing with burnout, trauma effects, compulsive behaviors, or persistent patterns, as well as couples facing relational strain, families navigating a child's mental health challenges, and professionals seeking clarity and stability.

Every intensive is fully customized and delivered in a setting that allows for focused, uninterrupted work. The approach is grounded in a Catholic-integrated perspective that includes mind, body, and soul, respecting both science and faith. Advanced neuroscience and neurotechnology are used to measure and address patterns at the brain level, providing a practical pathway toward emotional and behavioral change.

The Problem

Traditional models of therapy often do not fit the lifestyles, assumptions, and thinking of driven individuals who are always on the go. Common challenges include:

• Models of therapy that don't align with the realities of high-performing professionals

• Over-medication as a primary response to mental health challenges

• Personal and professional lives split and compartmentalized by conventional approaches

• Lack of innovation in change work

• The gap between wanting to change and actually sustaining meaningful transformation

Conventional methods often rely on feeling good rather than creating real, lasting change, leaving many people caught in the same patterns despite their best efforts.

The Promise

Grey Matters International delivers a different approach:

Personalized and Accessible Technologies and facilitations are matched to each individual client's needs, with care delivered directly to your door or chosen getaway location.

Brain-Based and Precise The program measures and assesses the brain's imbalances exactly and promotes natural rebalancing, working at the neurological level where lasting change begins.

Integrated and Whole-Person A systems-based approach creates shifts that minimize contradictions and compartmentalizing, bridging the gap between your many selves.

Efficient and Real By leveraging neuroeconomics and the study of irrationality, the program gets real quickly, ensuring your time is not wasted with illusions of change.

What Makes Grey Matters Different

"I engaged Dr. Fleming because his approach and methods were different from traditional executive coaching. He helped me take an intensive, internal journey before gathering external feedback to surface areas for action. I went into it feeling ‘stuck’ and concluded feeling rejuvenated. There’s executive coaching, then there’s Dr. Fleming. I recommend CEOs feeling a bit stuck to consider Dr. Fleming as they look to optimize their contributions for the future success of their organization." — Client Testimonial

Whether you come as an individual, a couple, or a family, your retreat adapts to your needs and the spiritual and personal growth you're seeking.
