“The women’s community is the place where the ancient wisdom of woman is remembered and renewed.”

— Monica Sjöö

Give yourself permission to pause and take ownership of your inner leader. It is ancient and deeply normal (yes, normal!) for women to come together and remember who they are in the realm of leadership, and to remember what and how they are here to lead. Within that gathering, it is essential to seek renewed rest, whether for leading our own inner lives or for the ways we show up in the world as a leader for our community.

We look forward to creating sacred space together for you to pause, renew your attention, dream big, redirect, and refill your cup. Because let’s face it, the world needs us.

More and more women are sensing that something is shifting. Perhaps leadership is becoming less about doing and more about the presence we embody. Your presence matters. Your unique gifts matter. The way you show up in the world matters. This weekend is an opportunity to reconnect with your own inner wisdom and remember the unique thread that is yours to bring into the world- even if it is to be more in alignment with your own inner leader.

Join us in a beautiful setting on the banks of Androscoggin River as we gather in sacred community to breathe, move, rest, and remember. Together we’ll journey with a guided Breathwork Journey using conscious, connected breathwork, move in sacred gentle rhythms, be in ceremony, enjoy locally sourced, farm-fresh meals prepared by a private chef, have meaningful conversation, and experience spacious time to simply be.

Paddle the river, soak in the hot tub, rest in the quiet, and reconnect with yourself in the company of other women.

We look forward to creating this sacred space with you. Come as you are and leave feeling nourished, grounded, and renewed, carrying with you the wisdom of what it means to truly show up for yourself and for the world.

There will be a:

A hot tub by the river
Plenty of space to simply BE

Fresh mountain air
An opportunity to share the hard truths of what it means to truly show up as a leader, both inside and out.

Let’s walk the talk and fill our cups. We’re here for you. Space is limited.

Themes:

·       Inner and outer leadership

·       Catch up with self care

·       Focus

·       Gather and ground

·       Reflect deeply

·       Listen inwardly

If you’re leading others or trying to be a good leader to yourself- we often barely have a moment to check-in, let alone sink in deeply. Everyone craves that deep and knowing wisdom, and this time of year of late fall is an opportunity to plan your winter “dream seeds” as you move into the quieter inward rhythm of colder days and nights.

What this retreat includes:

Carve out this time to be with yourself, in nature, with other women, with your journal, in circle- and take a cool dip in the river after steeping in the outdoor hot tub.

Move your body in rhythmic gentle ways with Jamie Worster, create greater spaciousness and clarity with a guided Breathwork Session journey with Tania Zuckerman of Spiraldance Breathwork, and enjoy locally-sourced, farm-fresh foods with private chef, Sophia Palange, Phia’s Maine.
