Stress Management And Relaxation Training
The SMART Approach was developed by Curtis Dean Hall in 2002. It is a complete mind-body-spirit approach to reducing stress.
The three pillars of the program are:
- Conscious breathing (the way in which the body breathes)
- Mindfulness (the way in which the mind breathes)
- Prayer (the way in which the spirit breathes)
The SMART program was researched at Friends University with positive outcomes. Dean has found the more stressful your situation or occupation, the better it works!
Dean has used it with corporate executives, nurses and teachers... all with great success. Originally a six-week program, it can be successfully implemented as a 1 or 2-day seminar, at retreats or as a self-study program at home.
Price- (Workbook and CD) $75 (CD only) $15
AIM (Adventures In Marriage)
Adventures in Marriage (AIM) is a six-day journey of inspiration and renewal designed for active couples eager to take steps together in the direction of their dreams.
AIM was founded on the belief that your marriage relationship is too active and vital to be addressed sitting down. Trying to talk healing, growth and change into existence is much like sitting on the bench in the game of life.
I have coupled my "learn by doing" approach with the most breathtaking vistas our world has to offer AND designed the format to be all about you!
That's right... finally a marriage retreat where you are not left on your own or sharing your valuable time with 10-20 other couples. You will be the only couple on the retreat.
I will be giving 100% of my time and attention to you!
Other features that set AIM above the rest-
- You are given a "pre-retreat" planning session to assess and develop goals that meet your specific needs for the retreat.
- You help choose the location.
- It is more than just talk... Your body, mind and spirit will be challenged.
- You are given over 40 hours of individual attention by Curtis Dean Hall (not only a trained clinician, but a leader in his field.)
- You work on yourself as an individual, not just yourself as a partner.
- You are led in creating a "fresh start."
- AIM is not all work. Time is allotted each day for the couple to rest, play and have fun.
- You are not forgotten. AIM includes a post-retreat follow-up session.
AIM will help you begin to master the fundamentals of a successful marriage.
You will explore the depths of your-
- Commitment
- Connection
- Clarity
- Communication
AIM is designed to be the best of a romantic getaway with the education and activity of a marriage retreat. I believe marriage shouldn't be all work and, therefore, neither should a marriage retreat. AIM is formatted to allow the couple on retreat several hours in the afternoon and evening to rest, play and create fun memories that will last a lifetime.
This combination of work and play provides a strong foundation for marriage and proves that married couples can have it all!
Packages begin at $5,900. This includes lodging in most cases.

Personal Intensives/Retreats
The personal retreat is the logical answer for today’s busy lifestyles. When you are desperate for a “fresh start” or at least an arena that is conducive to creating lasting change, a personal retreat is just for you! The personal retreat is specifically designed for anyone who feels stuck in life and desires a format that is something more powerful and immediate than the regular weekly therapy session.
If you are currently facing a tough transition, recovering from loss, trauma, or are ready to “kick start” your success, what could be better than to have a personal guide during a 3, 6 or 10-day journey of healing, growth and change?
Why are personal retreats so effective?
- You aren’t bound by the time constraints of the brief weekly session that is so common to therapy.
- You are away from all distractions and surrounded by the greatest beauty our world has to offer. Aren’t the red rock formations of Sedona, the majestic peaks of the Rockies or the haunting power of the mighty Columbia River Gorge better suited to inspiration and healing than a stuffy office with a dusty couch?
- A personal retreat is a multi-day, highly focused, experiential counseling format.
- You work closely with Curtis Dean Hall prior to the retreat until goals are agreed upon and developed that will meet your needs.
- You select the location that best fits your needs, desires, fitness level and personal style.
- The personal retreat provides participants with counseling and challenges that are individually tailored to identify your core issues, learn proven strategies to overcome obstacles to your success and begin living the life of your dreams.
- You are provided with a post-retreat “after-adventure” kit (complete with journaling and meditation exercises as well as daily “power tips”), plus a follow-up consultation.
Personal retreats can be designed to meet the needs of individuals, families and groups (like church groups, faculties and corporate teams). To find out more about Curtis Dean Hall’s personal retreats or to start planning your retreat now click here.
Packages start at $3,000 and typically include lodging, but price may vary depending on the location selected and the amount of time contracted.
Teacher Support Programs
SMARTT (Stress Management And Relaxation Training for Teachers)
After witnessing the success of the SMART Approach, Dean felt it was his responsibility to reach out to his fellow teachers by creating SMARTT, to meet a teacher’s specific needs for stress reduction. The fact that teachers are some of the most highly-stressed professionals on the face of the planet is so well-known it has become a cliché. Can you imagine…
- How much happier our teachers would be if their stress was controlled?
- How much more our students would learn if they entered classrooms and were met by teachers who were relaxed, refreshed and ready to teach?
- How it would change our world if every teacher had the power to effectively manage his/her stress?
SMARTT is the answer to teacher stress!
The Power of 2
Learn how to reduce your stress and recover your passion for teaching by confronting and overcoming the American myth of independence and self-reliance. Dean will show you how everything wonderful that has ever happened in our world has come directly or indirectly from the powerful dynamic of a nurturing relationship.
His Power of 2 introduces participants to the necessity of mentoring, collegial and student/teacher relationships and teaches a step-by-step plan for creating and maintaining deep and caring connection as part of your teaching and your life. Teaching is the most rewarding profession on earth, but only if you understand and practice the Power of 2!
Both programs can be accessed by schools, teacher groups or as a self-study program. To contact Dean to discuss fees for school and teacher groups, please click here.

What people are saying:
”Dean is one of the 'best to work with speakers' I have brought into William Newton Hospital. His SMART Approach for Nurses program gave our staff an opportunity to learn techniques in dealing with stress and relaxation skills that were very beneficial! ”
~ Cheryl Brock
Head of the Education Department at William Newton Memorial Hospital
Winfield, Kansas
"The seminar I attended in February was life changing! I attended the SMART conference hoping to learn how to be more effective when helping my clients. What I received from the program were wonderful gifts of tools and insight that not only helped me with my clients, but changed my life forever.
After implementing the techniques from the SMART program I noticed substantial positive changes in my clients and more noticeably in my own life. I found I was more effective and energized while working with my clients and I felt better than ever before! Dean Hall showed me that life should not be lived moment to moment; rather, I should live "in" the moment to fully enjoy life."
- George Sevick, M.S.
