Leading from the Inside Out: Navigating Change with Knowing, Not Knowing & Inner Knowing
June 18, 2025
Change is constant — and often, it’s destabilizing. But what if the real work isn’t just about managing change, but leading from within as it unfolds? This retreat invites you to step into three powerful ways of orienting yourself in times of transition: Knowing, Not Knowing, and Inner Knowing:
- Knowing: Honoring your lived wisdom and trusting the ground you’ve earned.
- Not Knowing: Reframing uncertainty as fertile ground for growth and possibility.
- Inner Knowing: Tuning into that quiet, intuitive clarity that leads you when logic can’t.
Together, we’ll practice releasing what no longer serves, embracing the spaciousness of the unknown, and listening inward to the whispers that guide us. You’ll leave with practices and perspective to not only lead through change with resilience, but with openness, intention, and strategies to ensure that you and your team emerge stronger.
Join us as we turn inward to discover the wisdom that’s always been there, guiding us.
Create Your Own Leadership Playbook: Visioning, Clarity & Manifestation
August 21, 2025
Leadership is not one-size-fits-all. It’s an act of creation — one small step at a time. This retreat is an invitation to step back from the noise, tune into your deepest vision, and craft a leadership path that is uniquely yours.
Grounded in both reflection and strategy, this experience will guide you to:
- Envision Your Leadership Future: Articulate what truly matters to you and the legacy you want to create.
- Find Clarity in the Chaos: Strip away the distractions and hone in on what deserves your time, energy, and attention.
- Manifest with Intention: Learn how to bridge the gap between vision and reality with grounded, actionable steps.
We’ll explore the truth about manifestation — that it’s less about wishful thinking and more about aligning action with vision. Through guided exercises, dialogue, and hands-on planning, you will leave with your own Leadership Playbook— a clear, authentic, and powerful strategy to bring your vision to life.
Join us as we co-create the path forward — one that reflects your values, your strengths, and your vision for impact.
Self-Care as a Leadership Imperative: Leading from a Place of Wholeness
September 17, 2025
Those who hold space for others often forget to hold space for themselves. And yet, true leadership is not just about what we give — it’s about how we sustain ourselves. This retreat invites you to explore self-care not as an afterthought, but as a foundational practice for resilience, clarity, and grounded leadership.
Through guided wellness practices, reflective dialogue, and simple, powerful tools for integration, you will discover how caring for your inner world creates the capacity to lead with more grace, courage, and presence. We will explore:
- Restoring the Well: How prioritizing self-renewal strengthens your capacity to serve.
- The Power of Pause: Creating space to reflect, recalibrate, and return to center.
- Embodied Leadership: Moving from burnout to balance through intentional practices.
This is not just about surviving the demands of leadership — it’s about thriving within them. Together, we will practice what it means to lead from a place of wholeness, honoring the truth that we cannot give what we do not have.
Join us as we turn inward, reconnect with our own well-being, and step back into our work more grounded, more resilient, and more whole.
Accessing Our Power to Choose: Resourcefulness, Ingenuity & Ownership
October 23, 2025
Freedom in leadership is about choice — how we show up, how we use our voice, and how we model possibility for others. It’s about recognizing that we are both the creator and the caretaker of the spaces we lead.
This retreat is an invitation to step fully into that choice. We will explore the internal and external barriers that keep us from fully owning our impact and uncover what becomes possible when we acknowledge our own freedom and see ourselves as co-creators of our experience.
- Resourcefulness: Discovering the hidden solutions and unspoken wisdom that already exist within you and your team.
- Ingenuity: Reimagining obstacles as invitations to innovate and expand what’s possible.
- Ownership: Shifting from effect to cause — embracing accountability as an act of power, not obligation.
This experience is about stepping into leadership not just with authority, but with authorship. To see the work we do, the teams we lead, and the cultures we create as living, breathing reflections of our choices. Join us as we uncover the freedom that exists when we own our power to choose.
Uncovering the Places We Go to Hide: Shadow, Self-Deception & Unlocking Our Full Potential
November 13, 2025
Sometimes, what limits our leadership isn’t what’s missing — it’s what we’re not yet willing to see. Beneath the surface of our best intentions often lie shadows: unexamined beliefs, blind spots, and hidden narratives that quietly shape our choices. These shadows don’t just affect us; they ripple through our teams, our families, and our communities.
This retreat is an invitation to look inward with both courage and compassion. Together, we’ll explore how self-deception and shadow work are not signs of weakness, but doorways to greater self-awareness and authenticity. Through guided reflection, dialogue, and practical exercises, you’ll learn to:
- Identify Your Blind Spots: Recognize where unconscious patterns may be impacting your leadership.
- Navigate Self-Deception: Learn to spot the stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck and disconnected.
- Embrace Your Shadow: Instead of hiding from our unexamined parts, we’ll explore how to integrate them with grace.
- Unlock Full Potential: Cultivate self-awareness that ripples outward — enhancing trust, authenticity, and collective growth.
True leadership starts with looking inward. Together, we will hold space to uncover what’s hidden, transform it, and unlock the full potential that exists when we are brave enough to confront our own shadows.
Virtual Leadership Wisdom Circles
If you’re feeling stuck, seeking a new approach to leadership, navigating burnout, or sensing there might be more to life, join us for a Wisdom Circle.
Circle is an ancient and indigenous practice that honors the wisdom we carry within. It’s not a space for fixing or giving advice, but for witnessing both individual and shared experience. Peel back limiting beliefs—and discover how quickly connection and community can emerge when we make space for it and show up with open hearts.
Step into a space of reflection, connection, and growth. Together, we’ll uncover/recover the leader within and chart a path toward leading with clarity, courage, and purpose.
Our next virtual wisdom circle begins in October of 2025 and is for leaders who…
- Recognize that today’s complexities require a radical shift in approach & perspective
- Feel a quiet unrest, a yearning to lead from your core, your intuition, and your inner truth
- Seek to balance the demands of doing with the grounding power of being—choosing actions that align with your values
- Long for a space of shared wisdom and deep knowing that reflects your own inner wisdom and knowing
Each session meets for 90min. via Zoom; click below for dates & times.
Together we’ll explore the following topics…
- Trust & Accountability: Fundamental to leading a happy, healthy team.
- Self-Deception: Strategies for getting ‘out of the box’ by recognizing and changing our ‘in the box’ mindset, focusing on empathy and seeing others’ needs and perspectives. It emphasizes that true leadership and connection stem from shifting how we view and treat others.
- Rethinking Anxiety: What if we knew that our anxiety is actually a barometer to measure how much we care and is a sign of what is ‘right’ about us, not wrong? We will look at how to rethink our own relationship with anxiety and lead from a lens of self compassion.
- Leading with Intuition, Humility and Moxy: Swimming in deeper waters and inviting your team to do the same.
