Step away, come back grounded

What happens at the retreat?

Leadership is a whole-body experience. The retreat gives you room to step away from the daily rush, slow down and listen to yourself again.

Over four days at a lakeside lodge near Ithaca, we hike, journal and spend time with the five elements of my philosophy. You leave grounded, curious and connected, ready to lead, create and support others to thrive.

The retreat is for leaders, educators, facilitators, creators, parents and healers.

  • Somatics: reconnect with the wisdom of your body
  • Storytelling: build community and find your own voice
  • Play: rediscover curiosity and joy
