deep Rest & Reset:

a fall leadership & wellness retreat for women

October 17-19, 2025 | Friday - Sunday

Ocean Edge Resort, Brewster, MA

 

the leadership crisis is real

Your personal transformation as a leader directly impacts your team's engagement, wellbeing, and performance.

  • Gallup's 2024 data reveals that employee engagement has hit an 11-year low, with only 50% of U.S. employees thriving in their overall lives—a record low since 2009.

  • Globally, employee engagement declined to just 21%, costing the economy $438 billion in lost productivity.

  • When leaders operate from chronic stress and disconnection, it ripples through entire organizations.

When Did You Last Lead from Your Full Potential?

As a successful woman leader, you've mastered the art of delivering results. But when did you last feel truly connected to your leadership impact rather than stuck on autopilot? To your natural instincts and inner compass rather than constantly reacting to demands?

As fall arrives and nature begins her graceful turn inward, this season invites us to follow her ancient wisdom - to pause, assess what we've been carrying, and reconnect with the sustainable leadership excellence that comes from being, not just doing.

If you're like many women leaders, you've been operating in perpetual fight-or-flight mode for so long that you've lost touch with your natural ability to connect with your intuition and respond to the important question:

What do I REALLY want to create through my leadership & life?

Not what you think you “should” do. Not what seems most urgent. But what your deepest wisdom and instincts know will maximize your leadership impact when you're present enough to listen.

Just as trees prepare to release what they no longer need, this fall retreat is your invitation to slow down, get unstuck, let go of unsustainable patterns, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with the clear, centered leader you naturally are.

I hope you’ll join us!
