“I thought I was just signing up for a retreat — but what I experienced was a powerful shift. I reconnected with the woman I had buried under years of shoulds and striving. I left with clarity, confidence and a vision I’m finally excited about.”

— Michelle R.



A Retreat Designed to Restore What Success Forgot

You’ve spent years pushing yourself, but you’re feeling depleted and disconnected. You crave deep rest and recalibration. Despite your career achievements, something feels missing. You want to break free from outdated success-driven habits and redefine what fulfillment means to you.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is step away — to pause, reflect and realign.

Your journey begins not with striving — but with space. Space to breathe, reflect and remember who you are beneath the noise. To reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been patiently waiting to be seen and heard.

Over four days, you’ll experience intentional coaching, connection and care that supports you in resetting your energy and reconnecting to your deepest truth. This retreat is a return — to clarity, to confidence and to the life you’re truly meant to lead.

Here’s what awaits when you give yourself the gift of space.

🔶 Reconnect & Rejuvenate Authentically: Step away from the noise and return to yourself. This is your space to exhale, soften and reconnect with who you are beneath the roles, titles and to-do lists. Immersive group and individual experiences allow you to release fatigue and restore the relationship between mind, body and spirit – rediscovering the joy of simply being. Deepen connections within a community of like-minded women while also embracing intentional solitude. (Did someone say nap?) Because true transformation happens when you’re both held and heard.

🔶 Rediscover Your True North: Your purpose uncovered. In this retreat, you’ll quiet the noise and reconnect with the wisdom that’s always been inside you. Through intimate group and 1:1 coaching — during and after the retreat — we’ll explore what truly lights you up, realign with your ‘whys’ and reconnect with the vision you’ve always known, but haven’t had space to claim. This isn’t about striving for more. It’s about remembering who you are, what you want and finally giving yourself permission to create it. This experience aligns self-love with much-needed breakthroughs, removing fatigue and escaping burnout.

🔶 Experience True Luxury and Restorative Flow: From the moment you arrive, you’ll be enveloped in an atmosphere of beauty, intention and deep nourishment. Wake up to the rhythm of nature, savor meals crafted by world-class chefs using local ingredients and move through days filled with experiences that realign your body, calm your mind and awaken your spirit. Through energy leadership insights, movement, breathwork, sound healing and sacred indigenous rituals, you’ll be gently guided back to balance – releasing what no longer serves you and opening space for profound transformation – your unique Life By Design.

Every element of your experience is carefully curated to allow you to fully surrender – no decisions to make, no responsibilities to juggle – just space to flow effortlessly into your next level of clarity, confidence and ease. This is where the next version of your life, your design begins — a life that feels as good as it looks, because it’s aligned with you.

Sound divine? It is.

WHY ATTEND? IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN YOU

Your life is not just about what you do — it’s about who you are becoming.

If you’ve been been feeling the pull for clarity, rest and renewal — an opportunity to realign with what truly matters — this retreat offers the space to do exactly that.

When you’ve been living by default instead of design… When your success has left little room for your soul to breathe…
You don’t need more doing — you need time to come home to yourself.

This is your moment to reclaim your energy, reconnect with your inner wisdom and begin writing your next chapter — on your terms.
Your life. Your design.

So if any of the following resonate with you, this retreat is exactly what you’ve been waiting for:

🔶 You feel depleted, overextended, or disconnected from what you truly desire.
You’ve been giving so much of yourself to others that you’ve lost touch with what truly lights you up.

🔶 You’ve checked all the boxes of success, yet something still feels missing.
Despite your achievements, you feel like there’s a deeper sense of fulfillment waiting to be claimed.

🔶 You’ve been meaning to dedicate time to yourself – but life keeps getting in the way.
Work, family and commitments constantly take priority, leaving you little time to focus on your own well-being.

🔶 You crave deep rest and recalibration in a space designed to fully support you.
You know that in order to thrive, you need to press pause, recharge and nurture your mind, body and spirit.

🔶 You know transformation happens when you surround yourself with seasoned practitioners who inspire you to shift, elevating your well-being.
You’re ready for a retreat that’s more than just a getaway. You want to be immersed in an environment that encourages real growth and shifts.

You know that in order to move forward, you need personalized support, guidance and the right tools to unlock your potential.

🔶 You’re ready to take a break – to get a breakthrough.
You’ve pushed yourself for so long and now it’s time for a true breakthrough. You’re ready to hit reset and claim your next chapter

This retreat is more than a getaway; it’s a transformational experience designed to recalibrate your life. It’s about coming back to what matters most — your well-being, your purpose and your vision for the future.

The support doesn’t stop when the retreat ends — you’ll have the tools and accountability to continue your growth long after you’ve returned home.
