“Sometimes, life can feel big, messy and filled with the unknown. Sometimes, we get caught up in details and tasks. Sometimes, we don’t see a clear way forward or the way life appears is a mystery. If you find yourself in any of these spaces, a time on retreat to decompress and clear your mind, body and spirit is waiting for you. This retreat offers you space to explore how mystery shows up in unexpected places to guide your ongoing awakening. With opportunities to reflect while hiking and in meaningful conversation with others, this is a time of breaking open your true self.
Each day on retreat, we will explore individually, and in community, the thoughts and behaviors that hold us back and inhibit our growth. These sessions will empower you with tools, techniques, and practices to help you make changes that serve you in your pursuit of living an authentic and wholehearted life. These retreat sessions are interactive, fun, and insightful. You’ll work hard, be challenged, and leave feeling invigorated with new possibilities. The afternoons will be filled with visits to world-class wineries, hiking breathtaking redwood groves and enjoying dramatic coastal bluffs. Sonoma’s world-renowned vineyards and exceptional wines are not to be missed as we wine taste with local winemakers in one of California’s most iconic regions.
Each day, expert facilitators will lead educational and contemplative sessions inspired by Parker Palmer, Brené Brown, and other leading expert voices in personal transformation. These daily sessions will make space and expand the possibilities in your life. As you begin the week, you will become very clear on what aspects of your life you need to focus on to revitalize joy, meaning and purpose. We will examine and release those things that are no longer serving you. Throughout the week, you will be equipped to let go so that you can create the space for new stories of lovability and the results you desire to arrive. With our tools and support, you will begin to intentionally create a life filled with joy, meaning, and purpose. By the end of the week, you will be grounded in knowing where and how to live by the promise of bounty. You WILL walk away with a roadmap for transformation and will leave feeling supported, fulfilled, nurtured, and satisfied.
After your morning educational sessions, your days will be filled with a soulful blend of scenic hiking, educational insights, and deep, meaningful conversations. You will spend considerable time each day in nature, admiring and reflecting on the unique and impressive panoramas found in Sonoma County, California. Much like the seasonality of nature, we will embrace our daily nature immersions to deeply understand the relationship between ourselves and the natural surroundings. We will hike through redwood forests, along beachside bluffs and up to impressive panoramas of the valley below. We will follow with wine tasting experiences and will gather for a communal dinner in the early evening to enjoy some of the delicious food found in Sonoma County. Each evening, to further help rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul, you are invited to join in an unstructured social hour with your fellow travelers and guides.
Courage & Renewal facilitator Corey Martin will be joined by Mary Messina. Mary is a business engagement leader with proven success across a diverse range of experiences.
