Recognize
Autumn 2019

Connect to meaning so you can emerge with centred resilience.

The foundational workshop in our Phoenix-Hearted Woman retreat series. Like the Phoenix, burn through layers of self to get to the core of your being: a place where you find your unique expression of courage, wisdom and peace.

We bring your focus to the recognition of your essential self.  What no longer serves? Who are you at your core? This retreat is designed to clear the way for your values, signature strengths and unique perspectives--all to centre and guide you in your life and leadership.

Revitalize
March 16/17, 2019

Take ownership of your inner strength. Enhance and maintain your resilience.

The demanding nature of many women's lives and professional roles can leave us more vulnerable to overwhelm and burnout. 

Building on your foundation of your essential self, this retreat has you dig deeper into what holds you back, so you can stand in your power and better engage in the world with agility and a sense of confidence.  We explore how you can regain and maintain your sense of calm, clarity, kindness, and invite practices that will have you emerge centred, confident and energized.

Radiate
June 1-2, 2019

Own your space and radiate presence!

Women face unique challenges as leaders. The most pervasive being unconscious bias, imposter syndrome and the double-bind paradox.

How can you effectively navigate and side step these hurdles with agility and aplomb so you can own your space?

This retreat is all about what has you radiate with confidence. Explore practical strategies to help you harness your innate leadership superpowers, radiate authentic presence, inspire others and engender trust in your vision.

Roar
Summer 2019

Be heard! Create positive difference in the world.

You are centred in your truth, but to express it you need to find your voice and know how to use it.

How do you quickly and powerfully engage others in your vision, your wildly awesome ideas, your wisdom?

This retreat is your place to fully embrace your capacity to be heard, and courageously engage and inspire others so you can transform your ideas into actions, your wisdom into impact, your dreams into legacy.  

 

An Infusion of Yoga & Leadership Coaching

Research informs us that for female leaders to thrive they must be connected to meaning, manage their energy and develop themselves in four key leadership capabilities. When women take a more heart-centred approach to their leadership the result is enhanced presence, resilience, confidence and Influence.

We have created a whole new model of leadership retreat for women - one inspired by the wisdom of yoga, the wisdom in our bodies and the wisdom of the co-active coaching model which values connection, intimacy, self-awareness, listening deeply to ourselves, nurturing ourselves, while also listening deeply to and nurturing the best in others. 
Women have a different capacity for developing and nurturing their own wisdom and confidence and we've designed our retreats to harness that capacity so women can truly radiate and roar as leaders.

WOMEN WANT TO LEAD FROM THE POWER OF PERSONAL VALUES AND AUTHENTICITY

The Phoenix-Hearted Retreats are uniquely designed for the woman who wants to bring the whole of herself into how she shows up as a leader and who desires a leadership retreat that is wholly focused on helping her be a woman who leads like a woman - from inspiration, intuition, interrelation and inclusion.

Our retreats give you the tools to live and lead heart-first with a courage and power rooted deeply in values and purpose.

 
 
 

What is it to be a Phoenix-Hearted Woman?

Join Us At A Retreat

The Phoenix-Hearted Woman retreat series helps women to live and lead heart-first, with courage and power rooted in a values-based connection to meaning. 

We know that women who are deeply connected to what is most meaningful thrive as leaders. This is why the Phoenix-Hearted series unifies leadership coaching with yoga and brings the focus to mind-body practice and the development of personal tools that women can leverage to manage energy, minimize depletion and stay grounded in their essential selves. 

Lead from your most powerful self.

"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." . A quietly powerful quote from Maya Angelou. And while this quote speaks to so much that is beyond my own experiences, when I sit with these words in stillness, her words remind me that the opportunities for growth, knowledge and wisdom are held within each situation of my life. I am reminded that I can shrink back or I can rise tall. I may not be able to to change the circumstances, but I can change my response. . . And while, many times, I would rather forget some of those situations - the painful ones, for sure - they hold such powerful learning for me…should I choose to embrace that learning. . . I can rewrite the story my hurt and fearful self is telling me as a way of offloading the shame and pain. Instead of letting the situation lay me flat, or have me hide, I can create a new narrative from the lessons and craft a story of learning, discovery, courage. My small self wants to believe the shame and wallow in the unfairness of life, but if I choose to play big in my life, I can choose to see that everything in my life up to now - all the joys, sorrows, regrets, failures - are all in service of who I am...and who I am becoming. . . There is so much available to us when we embrace a growth mindset...and use this to fuel our growth. . . At the Revitalize Retreat (March 16/17) we'll be taking a deep dive into the concept of narrative: the role this plays in how we live and lead; how it shapes our sense of confidence; how we can use it to rise boldly from failures; how to leverage our female neurology to build resilience. . .

"To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon the verdant green hills is the most perfect refreshment." ~Jane Austin . When life overwhelms us with all its demands and challenges, we can find moments of tranquility and renewal by being in nature. Simply being present to a beautiful landscape can invigorate our souls and restore our energy, making us realize that contentment comes from just being - being part of the wholeness that is nature. . . .What nourishes your spirit? What deepens your well of resilience? What are your daily energy-renewal practices? . . .PC: Lucia Lajdova/Unsplash . #revitalizeretreat #phoenixheartedwoman #womenwhothrive #heartcentredleadership #leadlikeawoman #resilience #leadfromessence
We can become stuck in narratives about how we should be doing things and who we have to be in the world, but these narratives rob us of our vitality and our connection to meaningful purpose when they are not of our essential selves. . . How do we come back to ourselves? How do we deepen our resilience so we can navigate the stressors and expectations that pull at us while remaining authentically ourselves - confident, purposeful, fulfilled? . . What pulls you off course? What drains your energy? What has you fully clear on how to best navigate in the midst of a storm? What brings you back to your essential self? What renews and sustains your energy? . . Answering these questions for ourselves will be at the heart of the Revitalize Retreat for women on March 16 & 17th. We are crafting an immersive experience of mindfulness, yoga, self-reflection, stimulating dialogue with other dynamic women and nourishment of our minds, our bodies and our spirits. . We invite you to take time to connect to your self and nurture your resilience and spark your sense of purpose. . https://www.phoenixheartedwoman.com/revitalize-retreat . . . . #phoenixheartedwoman #revitalizeretreat #womenwhothrive #leadlikeawoman #resilience #yogaretreat #leadershipdevelopment
Our personal narratives may have multiple sources: upbringing, media, peers, career, family, social status, gender, abilities, hopes, fears, etc. We tend to forget, though, that our narratives are not immutable. We have the power to rewrite limiting or damaging stories to allow for fulfillment and healing. #resilience #yoga #narrative #namaste #herosjourney #leadfromtheheart #revitalizeretreat #phoenixheartedwoman
The body is our touchstone, right now, just as it is. Not someday when we slim down, Not someday when our knees stop aching, or our skin clears up or when we can finally do the splits. Now, this body, this wild, delightful, treacherous landscape of created existence, is where our soul dances. #yoga #resilience #self-acceptance #embrace #phoenixhearted #namaste #revitalizeretreat #thrive #peace

Compassion and Resilience In a mindfulness practice, it never serves to scold ourselves for becoming distracted. Self-criticism is restrictive, it saps vitality. I mean, if we're doing yoga and come into trikonnasana, and notice that we're thinking about going to the cafe later, do we collapse on our mats in self-rebuke? Do we let the distraction wreck the rest of the practice? (Okay, there may be those days.) What mindfulness asks us to do is to step away from the distraction--and the reaction to the distraction--enough to come back to the breath. The breath opens up the space between stimulus and reaction (not to mention sending more oxygen to the brain). In that space, we can insert compassion; we can summon the self-compassion to short-circuit the internal critic's negative talk, so that we can observe the patterns in our minds with curiosity rather than judgement. #resilience #compassion #phoenixheartedwoman #mindfulness #yoga #meditation #revitalizeretreat #namaste
