Silent Day of Retreat (June): Remembrances: Meeting All Of You

  • DESCRIPTION

We have been taught to manage what hurts. To get past it. To rise above it. To find the silver lining quickly enough that nobody notices we were undone for a moment.

But the contemplative traditions point in a different direction. The way through grief is grief. The way through fear is fear. The way through the thing you have been outrunning is to finally turn around and meet it. This is what mindfulness actually asks of us—the willingness to sit down beside what is here and let it be here.

Most of us cannot do this alone, so we keep moving and performing a version of ourselves that has not been still long enough to feel what is underneath.

We are holding a day of mindfulness as a group container for the work you are already doing. A few hours of being with yourself the way you have not been with yourself in a long time. To get more information about how you can:

  • Experience a few hours of being with yourself without the need to fix anything or arrive anywhere

  • Be supported by a group container and a professional psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher

  • Finally meet what has been waiting for you in a safe, compassionate space

  • Hold space for yourself, especially if you are the person who has been holding it together for so long you have forgotten what you are holding space for!

The Inner Game

  • DESCRIPTION

If you’ve been holding it all together—your career, relationships, responsibilities—yet underneath you feel tired but wired, overstimulated, and quietly disconnected from your own knowing, you are leading from survival.

This is not mindset work, motivational coaching, or about pushing through. The Inner Game is a nervous-system-led approach to upgrading your inner operating system. It is about returning to yourself with stability, so your body becomes a place you can actually live in.

We invite high-capacity women to an 8-week in-person depth experience designed to help you integrate external success with internal peace. Through this curated circle, you will:

  • Shift out of survival mode (fight/flight/freeze) and into a grounded, regulated internal state

  • Develop a personalized toolkit to navigate high-pressure environments without burnout

  • Distinguish between anxiety and true intuition for clear, self-led decision-making

  • Reclaim your internal authority alongside a supportive community of like-minded women

Search Inside Yourself

  • DESCRIPTION

Most of us were never taught what to do with the "hard stuff." If you're capable, composed, but quietly exhausted—and finding that your nervous system doesn't respond to productivity hacks or weekend retreats—you aren't alone.

What's actually happening is that our brains have been in a threat response for so long, they now read ordinary Tuesday meetings as emergencies. You're not weak or broken. You're just running a very old operating system on a very demanding urban life. Emotional intelligence isn't just a personality trait you either have or don't—it is a skill you can actively build.

Originally developed at Google and backed by neuroscience, Search Inside Yourself (SIY) was built to change that.

We’re facilitating a workshop for you to creatively respond to your life instead of just mindlessly reacting to it. To get more information about how you can:

  • Activate mindfulness to boost joy, focus, and overall well-being

  • Master the science of emotions and use it to your advantage

  • Unlock emotional intelligence for personal growth and professional success

  • Build mental resilience to strengthen your relationships and social skills

Break Old Patterns: The Squabble and Disconnection Cycle. Rebuild the Safety. In 3 Hours.

Stop the Poisoned Relationship. Become the Antidote: Co-creating Strength-Based Attachment that Lasts

  • DESCRIPTION

You love each other. You’re committed. But lately, it feels like you’re speaking different languages. The same conflicts keep looping. The distance keeps growing. And despite your success in every other area of life, this is the one place where "trying harder" isn't working.

It’s not a lack of love. It’s a mismatch of wiring.

Join us for a curated, 3-hour experience where we stop guessing and start translating. Using advanced Neuroscience and the CliftonStrengths framework, we’ll help you move from "surviving" your differences to leveraging them.

  • Decode the Signal: Understand exactly why you trigger each other (and why it’s biological, not personal).

  • Flip the Script: Turn your "incompatible" traits into your greatest combined assets using CliftonStrengths.

  • Stop the Spiral: Walk away with a tangible "Roadmap" to de-escalate conflict in minutes, not days.

  • FACILITATORS

This isn't just "communication tips." It's the manual for your partner's nervous system. That's why you need our expertise to nurture and rewire the brain.

Envisioning Your 2026

  • DESCRIPTION

Do You Want 2026 To Be Your Best Year Ever? If 2025 felt like it went by too quickly, had more things you wanted to achieve that you couldn't, and that there were way too many things that did not go the way you wanted, it's probably because you had not set the foundations for it with grounded intent.

Intentionality is everything!

We're facilitating a workshop for you create the version of you that can create a fulfilling 2026. To get more information about how you can:

  • Build a reflective, yet systematic, design for your life, relationships and career;

  • Be supported by professional facilitators who are grounded in psychological science of achievement;

  • Bring out the best version of you with a community of like-minded individuals;

  • Set the stage for a more empowered and energized future you want to create!
