FALL Reset Retreat [SOLD OUT]

The Reset Retreat teaches you how to cultivate the qualities of mind and essential communication skills that lead to well-being and success, at work and in life.

Enjoy an overnight retreat experience in the breathtaking Marin Headlands (just north of San Francisco) on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, offering a space to unplug, reset your nervous system, and rediscover the clarity that emerges from stillness, so that you can come home to a more grounded, spacious self.

This is an opportunity to move away from the idea that being busy equals being valuable, and instead focus on cultivating your most important asset — your presence.

Benefits of This Retreat:

  • Elevate your work-life through effective daily practices & routines.
  • Shift from a mindset of fear and scarcity to one of "Enough," which is where our boundless potential lies.
  • Immerse yourself in a community that fosters compassionate insight and collaboration. (Studies show that we learn most from people outside our everyday inner circles.)




The Experience:

Mindful Actions: You’ll learn how to develop actionable daily routines tailored to grow your business, with a specific focus on what’s within your control and what’s easily doable.

Inner Alchemy: Learn how to access a flow state at work; let go of external “scores” or benchmarks and reorient towards a deep sense of trust in your own unfolding journey. That’s where real freedom—and progress—begin.

Embodied Presence: Learn the subtleties of living in the organic flow of your business so that you find joy and satisfaction in the process of building your business, while also embracing equanimity and befriending what "is."

Circles of Wisdom: Engage with seasoned peers in an atmosphere of safety and openness, where you draw from the collective wisdom.

"This retreat is a must for me at least once a year to rediscover mindfulness, intention, inspiration, and peace."
–Ari H.


Activities to Transform Your Approach to Work, and Life:

Emotional Intelligence Training: Deepen your capacity to experience empathy, compassion, and attunement to others through evidence-based communication exercises.

Dialogue Circles: Dive into topics that will challenge and inspire you. Share, listen, and reveal what’s blocking or nurturing your fullest expression.

Meditation: Immerse yourself in short practices and experiential activities that allow you to shift into a deeply restful state through the activation of your parasympathetic nervous system (this is a very relaxed AND alert state of being).

Sound Bath: Resonant tones wash over you, helping to release tension, quiet the mind, and restore your body's natural harmony.

Nature Hikes: Experience nature as the backdrop for heart-centered business and life conversations.

Silent Beach Walk: A concluding walk that is an invitation to integrate and embody what you’ve learned.

“I love how connected I feel after this retreat. Connected to nature, the community of people attending, connected to my body, breath, and spirit.”

–LAUREN B.
