Join fellow LEAP members and a group of heart-centered visionary women+ leaders for a curated experience of rest and relaxation in support of your personal and professional growth.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected in today’s times from what rejuvenates us and keeps us connected. This event was created to help offset the turmoil and create a positive environment for us to cultivate our personal power through rest, gentle movement and nourishment.
It’s time to:
Let go of burnout and other burdens: Learn how to release over-commitment and emotional labor. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite, practical self-care techniques.
Reconnect with yourself: Gentle workshops and mindful practices to help you release stress and set boundaries—effortless and tangible.
Nourish your body and spirit: Slow mornings with yoga, nature walks, and pure relaxation. Theresa will lead a mindful hike, and wellness expert Stephanie O’Donnell-Peters will guide morning movement and offer massages for VIP guests. Our menu has been specially crafted from local high-frequency ingredients to aid in your relaxation and rejuvenation process.
Build beautiful relationships: Spend time with like-hearted women and leave with a renewed sense of community. We’re keeping the group small so everyone feels supported and seen.
We’ll rest at the stunning Skamania Lodge in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Our time together will be a balanced blend of relaxation and activity, designed to help you recharge physically, mentally, emotionally and soulfully.
This Retreat Includes:
- Accommodations: 2 nights at Skamania Lodge nestled amongst tall Douglas Fir trees of the Columbia River Gorge.
- Meals: all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snacks are included + a special wine tasting.
- Activities: Retreat teachings, workshops, guided morning movement practice, guided hike, wine tasting with an educational component, and keynote by Anna Maria Ponzi, former owner, CEO and past president of Ponzi Vineyards.
- Gifts: Carefully curated gift bags upon arrivals and departure + a treasure-hunt winner prize.
