We will teach you the foundations of leading with love to help you start a transformational journey in your life and relationships.
Identify and understand the roots of the ‘Good Girl Syndrome’ and its impact on both your personal and professional life. Gain deep insights into your belief systems and uncover how they may be limiting your ability to achieve your goals, dreams, and full potential.
We will teach you powerful tools and strategies to boost your self-confidence, assertiveness and your ability to communicate more effectively and dynamically.
Discover what truly drives you and aligns with your authentic self, gaining clarity on what truly matters. Then, set clear, non-negotiable boundaries to shape the life you want to live moving forward.
Once you have clarity on your priorities, learn how to set healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life. In this part of our retreat we will go deeper into learning the fundamental components of how to step into your power and lead with love.
Let go of the masks and the pressure to be perfect. Step into a space where you can embrace and celebrate your authentic self—without guilt or fear.
This retreat will guide you back into alignment with your true self, helping you reconnect with who you were born to be—not who you felt you had to be to fit in.
Learn from experienced facilitators with a deep understanding of personal development and
empowerment. Both Maria and Simon have been on their own journeys and have experienced first-hand the modalities you will experience and learn.
Engage in practical exercises and group discussions that foster vulnerability, growth and connection. We will go deep in our time together in a way that will be cathartic, liberating and life affirming for you.
Connect with like-minded individuals on a similar journey towards self-discovery and
empowerment. We hope to create a powerful community for you to connect with who can champion and support you going forward after leaving this retreat.
