Feminine Leadership Retreats

  • Practice New Rhythms

    Sometimes you need to slow down to speed up. When you change the pace and rhythm of your day-to-day, you give yourself an opportunity to rest, recharge and replenish your creative reserves. You establish the time and space for new ideas, perspectives and ways of being to arise.

  • Stretch Your Mindset

    When you break from your normal routine and digital life for time away, somewhere beautiful and surrounded by nature, you can more easily see, feel and experience the abundance and unity to be found in diversity. My leadership programs will get you out of your comfort zone with brave invitations to adventure into nature.

  • Resource Your Creative Flow

    We come together to shift women's leadership culture by prioritizing time each year to re-charge and re-connect with our joyful, imaginative, and innovative selves. We inspire each other to live into our values, we remember how to listen and to receive, and we dare to dream ourselves into the future.

Her Festival

May 22-26, 2024

Rangeley, Maine

Restore and celebrate your essential self fully immersed in 5 days of sacred ritual, creativity, beauty, movement, community & the forest.

This annual spring retreat in the wilds of northwest Maine was created by Women for Women for us to collaborate, co-create and celebrate our wild, self-luminous nature through the thread of shared experience.

Together we honor, nourish, and strengthen in relationship to ourselves, one another, Her Nature and the Elements. We explore feminine principles of leadership and power, our role as women in community, and how to skillfully source greater wholeness, joy and kinship in the world.

Our time together is an extraordinary opportunity to experiment with and live into more shared, collaborative, and mutually generative leadership models. This is truly a gathering unlike any other.

The Ocean Lover’s Retreat:

September 16-22, 2024

Bocas Del Toro, Panamà

Immerse yourself in a truly unique tropical island environment, where the themes of connection, replenishment, and the sacred role of water in ritual will unfold. But that’s not all – we’ve specifically chosen this time of year when the ocean is at its calmest, and the archipelago transforms into a nursery teeming with young, vibrant marine life.

This retreat is for the ocean lovers! The merpeople we are at heart who find the water to be a kin element. Open to all genders, this retreat is also for those that hold dear the influences of yoga, and relationship to spirit.

Embark on a week of nature-based replenishment, where overwater bungalows and locally sourced cuisine provide the backdrop to our inspired practices. Nestled in the exclusive embrace of Bocas del Toro, our retreat center is surrounded by a lush rainforest, home to monkeys, sloths, and vibrant tropical life. Our time together will not only celebrate our connection to the ocean but also honor the rich biodiversity that thrives both above and below the water’s surface.

Every day of our retreat promises a tapestry of experiences – two group sessions filled with slow-flow yoga, meditation, mantra, yoga nidra, dharma discussions, reflection, and ritual. Our days will be bookended by three freshly prepared delicious meals, and ample free time for rest, optional adventures, and the joy of wandering the shores.

Bocas del Toro is not just a backdrop; it’s a living, breathing sanctuary. As one of the most significant sea turtle nesting grounds in Panama, it hosts thousands of hawksbill and leatherback turtles. In September, under the light of the full moon, we’ll witness the magic of nesting, spawning, or hatching sea turtles on an uninhabited island. And yes, you have the opportunity to help these precious beings from the beach to the reef.

Come away and let’s co-create a transformational space together, where the ocean’s whispers and the rainforest’s secrets converge to weave a tale of profound connection and joyous play
