Calling all our fellow female visionaries.

 

This is your invitation to come together with a group of powerful women where we will expand into the next evolution of our visions - for ourselves, for our communities, and for the world. 

 

Our Modern Empress Visioning Retreat is your opportunity to claim what you desire and embody the highest expression of your being.

 

We envision a world where every woman is profoundly connected to her unique mission on this planet, continually inspired, and wholeheartedly supported in sharing her gifts.

 

You are here to live a life that is rich with purpose, service, and bliss.

 

To live authentically, in resonance with your soul—the inner Empress within.

 

Together, we're forging a new paradigm of business and leadership based on an ecosystem of support where:

 

Our nervous systems are relaxed, our bodies are honored, and our visions are valued.

 

Here, we release the notions of competition, the need to prove our worth, or the impulse to compare.

 

We surrender our stress, opening ourselves to the abundant gifts shared by like-hearted women.

 

We claim our space, shine in our expression, and embrace the spirit of celebration.

 

Our intention for this retreat is to create the fertile ground for women like you to truly thrive.

 

For when women claim their visions and prosper, the whole world prospers.
