You Know What Matters To You
You've created a full and meaningful life, and with all you’ve learned and the work you’ve done,
you have come to know yourself more deeply than you once did
You’ve reflected, questioned your assumptions, and let go of beliefs that no longer aligned with who you’ve become. You’re reclaiming parts of yourself that may have grown quieter beneath the demands and expectations of work, family, and life. You’ve done the work of growing.
And here you are at a point of change.
Maybe you are facing an empty nest that feels like a blank space, or perhaps now that you’ve healed from your divorce and are ready to embrace life again, or maybe you're approaching retirement and wondering who the woman beyond the career is. You could be facing some other transition or even more than one at the same time.
The question is no longer who you are. It is how you want to live as the woman you've become.
That's why we've created this retreat.
The territory ahead is uncharted, but you know that as you move forward, you're
not looking to become someone new or start over, nor go back to your old patterns and behaviors.
You want the time, space and support to shape what comes next
in a way that reflects all you've learned about yourself.
You long to lead yourself in this next season of your life with the deep trust that comes from knowing that what you are creating is aligned with who you are now.
A Different Place. A Different Perspective.
In October 2027, as the Mediterranean summer draws to a close, the nights grow cooler, and the early olive harvest begins, we will welcome six women to the beautiful island of Crete.
A different place, a different rhythm, and different conversations create the conditions for new thoughts to emerge.
For six days, you'll step away from the pace and responsibilities of everyday life. Here you’ll have the time, space and support to reconnect with yourself and consider how you want to move forward.
Crete and our private villa were chosen to support that experience.
Hosted by two experienced coaches, each day will balance shared experiences, reflection, meaningful conversation, and time of your own—all designed to help you return to what you know, bring the way you live into closer alignment with the who you have become, and shape how you want to enter the season ahead.
There is room to gather over long meals and meaningful conversations, as well as quiet corners to read, rest, reflect, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of Crete.
With just six participants, the experience remains personal. There is space for genuine connection, individual attention, and enough flexibility for each woman to engage in her own way.
Imagine. . .
EXPLORING
Crete as Invitation
Encounter Crete's landscapes, history, and stories as invitations to step outside the familiar and see your own life and yourself from a different perspective.
RESTORING
A Daily Rhythm to Reset
Reset and relax away from the pace and responsibilities of everyday life. With time to rest, reflect, play and simply be, you can reconnect with yourself before deciding where you want to go next.
CONNECTING
Shared Experiences
Exploring Crete and sharing discoveries with a circle of women creates a relaxed setting for laughter, honest conversation, meaningful connection, and reflection.
More Than Time Away
One of the best things about a retreat is the space it creates for coaching to happen naturally and to take different shapes.
Some will happen through individual and group discussions; at other times, it will emerge informally through shared experiences, meals, and conversations along the way.
But our time in Crete is just one point of support.
Before the retreat, you will have a private coaching session and two group gatherings to help you consider what you want from your time away.
During the retreat, individual and group coaching will give you space to explore what you are noticing as the week unfolds.
After you return home, you will have another private coaching session and two group gatherings to help you bring what became clear or meaningful into your everyday life.
To follow along and learn more as plans for the retreat unfold join our interest list.
We’re giving attention to the details so you don’t have to.
We understand the importance of being able to step away from organizing, anticipating, and holding everything together.
Being able to settle into a rhythm that leaves room for rest, discovery, and connection—with the place, the people, and yourself, is a critical piece of how we are designing this retreat.
From the moment you arrive, you can set aside the responsibilities of everyday life.
No activities to arrange, no meals to prep, no transportation to consider. From the moment you arrive until you leave our villa, you will not be the one in charge of anything other than yourself.
Find a chaise lounge, a journal, or some music and relax.
For these six days, you do not have to make sense of what comes next from the margins of your life.
And you do not have to do it alone.
You will have the support to listen more closely to yourself, enjoy what unfolds, and begin to see what you want to carry forward.
Follow Along as the Plans Unfold.
The retreat is still taking shape and coming to life! We would love to share the journey with you.
Before we open registration in October,
you'll meet your hosts and receive occasional behind-the-scenes updates as the retreat comes to life.
We'd be delighted to keep you informed.
