Dragonfly Academy
You don't always need a therapist.
When you are not in crisis but want to improve your life, self-paced learning and growth can be a profound inward journey. This is more than self-help because our program is developed and delivered by experts in the field, and customized to your particular growth goals.
Through our Wellness Workbook, we will walk you through a step-by-step program that is grounded in principles of depth psychology, which means you will be directly addressing root causes, limiting beliefs and habituated family patterns. In addition to your individual online work, you will have regular access to a community of learners who are on a similar path of self-discovery and growth. It's time for lasting change, and we are so happy to welcome you to Dragonfly Academy!
About Dragonfly Academy
Are you someone who likes hands-on learning?
Do you want to practice the skills you are learning in therapy or through self-help books?
Are you a deep thinker who wants to understand why your mind and body work the way they do?
Are you a lifelong learner, always seeking opportunities for self-knowledge and growth?
Dragonfly Academy is a community of seekers on a path to personal, relational, and spiritual growth. If you are someone who is fascinated by the human mind and sincerely wants to understand yourself and your relationships, this community is for you. Rooted in depth psychology, we help you explore the underlying causes of your distress with carefully curated personal development courses that can be adapted to most schedules.
We know you have an incredible number of choices when it comes to personal growth.
What makes Dragonfly Academy different from other learning communities?
First, each line of each course has been reviewed by our Dragonfly Wellness Centre's Clinical Director who has a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and has been a practicing psychotherapist for over 16 years. She has also developed and delivered college courses and has been on her own personal development journey for 25 years.
Next, the courses and workbooks are based on psychological theories that can stand the test of time, and help answer the questions asked by hundreds of psychotherapy clients and spiritual seekers.
Third, our community of teachers and learners has been carefully cultivated over the last few years to ensure the people who join us are here for the right reasons with an open mind, a willing heart, and a genuine eagerness to learn and grow.
Finally, not only do you get evidence-based content and a caring community, but our material is presented in a clear, simple, and easy-to-access format. If you really do your work, you will see results.
In our courses and other online resources, we have synthesized complex concepts from:
- Jungian Psychology
- Attachment Theory
- Narrative Therapy

- Developmental Psychology
- Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy
- Transpersonal Psychology

If you have been working on yourself for a while and are feeling stuck in your inner growth work, Dragonfly Academy may be just what you need to kick-start your consciousness and move you from thinking about changing your life to actually doing it. Our courses are designed to make you look deeply at yourself and your beliefs, and not everyone is ready for that honest inward look. But if you are here, still reading about us and getting revved up thinking about joining a community that will really "get you" and helps you clear inner obstacles to the life you have been dreaming of, we welcome you with open arms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Personal growth work is an ongoing journey. You may learn something now that only really takes root and makes sense to you years later. It can also sometimes feel like you are getting worse before you get better, as many old demons can come to the surface on this journey of healing.
Dragonfly Academy does not offer refunds on courses or memberships, as we deeply believe the people who decide to join us have been called to live larger lives, and we have something of profound value to offer, even if it isn't apparent immediately. You are paying for the time and knowledge of the many minds that went into developing and delivering this unique material. Requests for refunds come from a scarcity mindset and want to cultivate abundance and prosperity for all.
To be clear: please ensure you have asked all of your questions before paying your fees, as there will be no refunds.
If you are taking a Course or becoming a member of Dragonfly Academy, then no, you do not require any prior experience of therapy or personal growth work. We do ask that you keep an open mind and be willing to be surprised with what you learn about yourself. We ask that you be willing to challenge your old way of looking at things and be open to new ideas. Most importantly, be coachable.
For Workshops, we assume you have already done some of your own personal reflection, and that you are willing to take responsibilty for your own life and your choices. When attending these in-person or online workshops, we expect that you already understand that you make choices that impact your life and that while you may not be able to control what happens to you, you can always determine how you respond to it. We also expect you to be open to the group dynamic and being willing to learn from others, as "what's in the chair is in the room".
If you are applying to attend a Retreat (Dragonfly Members only), we require that you have a solid understanding of personal accountability, emotion regulation, and mirroring/judgment/projection. The Retreats are designed for people who have done the individual work and are ready for a deeper dive within a group context. We will not be covering basics during the in-person Retreat sessions, so if you are interested in joining us but do not feel ready yet, please take a few of our online courses and review the Dragonfly Academy materials first to develop an intellectual and emotional foundation.
It's so simple. $8/month. Cancel anytime after 3 months. You get:
- Reduced rates on in-person Wellness Therapies at Dragonfly Wellness Centre in Salmon Arm, BC.
- Priority registration and exclusive pricing for all for all groups, courses, workshops, and retreats (25% OFF!)
