3-Day Event Video Coverage for The Nurse Coach Collective

In the picturesque town of Boone, North Carolina, something remarkable unfolded over three transformative days—The Nurse Coach Collective Retreat. This event, designed to nurture the minds and spirits of nurses who seek to integrate coaching into their care, became an opportunity for reflection, learning, and personal growth. At the heart of this memorable experience was the Ant Farm Media team, which captured the essence of the retreat through their exceptional video coverage.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how Ant Farm Media turned three days of the Nurse Coach Collective Retreat into a visual journey that will continue to inspire for years to come.

The Nurse Coach Collective: A Community of Healers

Before diving into the magic of video coverage, it’s important to understand the mission behind The Nurse Coach Collective. Founded by board-certified Nurse Coaches, Peter Giza and Heather Lapides, this organization provides educational programs, certification, and a supportive community for nurses who wish to elevate their practice by embracing holistic coaching techniques. Their retreats serve as immersive experiences where nurses learn, rejuvenate, and find inspiration to redefine their approach to healthcare.

This retreat in Boone was no exception. Nestled in the serene Appalachian Mountains, the setting was designed to allow nurses to step away from the high-pressure environment of hospitals and clinics and into a place of personal renewal. Over three days, participants engaged in workshops, group activities, meditative sessions, and personal reflection, all of which nurtured both their professional and personal well-being.

The Role of Ant Farm Media: Capturing the Soul of the Event

When The Nurse Coach Collective sought out a media team to document their retreat, they knew it had to be a company capable of capturing not just the events, but the emotion behind them. That’s where Ant Farm Media stepped in.

With years of experience in creating high-quality, visually compelling event videos, Ant Farm Media understood the need to highlight the connections being made, the moments of introspection, and the sense of community fostered at the retreat. Their goal wasn’t merely to document, but to tell the retreat’s story, turning fleeting moments into lasting memories.

Pre-Event Planning: Laying the Groundwork

The Ant Farm Media team began their process well before the retreat even started. Collaborating closely with The Nurse Coach Collective, they developed a clear vision of what the video coverage should look like. This involved understanding the schedule, key activities, and the overarching theme of the retreat. The media team also planned for specific shots that would capture the scenic beauty of Boone, adding an atmospheric backdrop that mirrored the calm and healing environment of the retreat.

Understanding the nuances of the retreat’s flow allowed the team to prepare for every detail, ensuring that no meaningful moment would go uncaptured.

Day 1: Arrival and Introduction

The first day of the retreat was marked by anticipation and excitement as nurses from across the country arrived in Boone. Ant Farm Media’s cameras were rolling from the very start, capturing the serene environment as participants settled into the retreat center. The initial gathering, where introductions were made and the group bonded over shared stories, was carefully documented.

To showcase the beginning of this transformative journey, Ant Farm Media used both wide shots and close-ups, giving viewers a sense of the larger collective while also highlighting personal moments of connection. The tone set on Day 1 would serve as the foundation for the unfolding story—an experience of unity and purpose.

Day 2: Workshops and Healing Practices

The second day was filled with immersive workshops, coaching sessions, and holistic healing practices. This was where the retreat truly came alive, and Ant Farm Media was there every step of the way. The challenge was not only to film the tangible actions—like group meditations, hands-on coaching exercises, and nature walks—but to capture the energy that flowed through the participants.

The team used drone footage to provide sweeping views of the landscape, showcasing the harmony between the nurses and their surroundings. The intimate moments of reflection and conversation were filmed with sensitivity, allowing the emotional depth of the event to shine through.

Additionally, Ant Farm Media filmed key speakers and workshop leaders, ensuring that the invaluable lessons shared during the retreat could be relived and shared with a broader audience. The seamless editing of these sessions would later allow for quick access to core insights for those unable to attend.

Day 3: Reflection and Farewell

As the retreat neared its conclusion, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of achievement and gratitude. Day 3 was about reflection—both personal and collective. Nurses shared their takeaways, set intentions for their future practice, and said their goodbyes.

Ant Farm Media captured these moments with a delicate balance of wide group shots and personal interviews. Their ability to film candid moments of reflection gave viewers an authentic look at the emotional impact the retreat had on its participants. By the end of Day 3, Ant Farm Media had documented not just the event, but the transformation of each individual nurse.

We edited the final video on-site for all of the attendees to watch and experience at the end of their stay, to remind them of the transformative journey they just went through.
