Tina and I are very excited about how our Becoming Your Own Leader retreat pilot turned out (now called Being Your Own Leader). This intensive program was a small, intimate group of nine powerful women visionaries ready to recreate their lives with deeper passion and purpose. During this three-day retreat, we supported them with accessing, building partnership and learning to trust their own Personal Source of Guidance in a practical way.

As both one of the visionaries and a facilitator, I saw many highlights to the program. One in particular that stood out for me was the impact that actively connecting into Source through guided meditation, breath, imagination and ritual had upon us all. When we dipped into Source perspective, a bigger picture revealed itself to us every time. To each of the participants, individual experiences began taking shape and revealing what was to become their work. To Tina and me, Spirit also revealed what was to be our service and how we were to lead.

Another very powerful experience was when the women connected deeply with how Source energy manifested as their Body, Mind, and Emotions. They came to realize the teamwork of the subconscious and conscious mind, as well as the role ego and personality play in creating our realities. The idea of their life being a mirror reflection of what is going on within became very clear. Old patterns unable to shift in the past now seemed open to change. Their new understanding of ego and personality created much relief and empowered them at creating change.

On Sunday, we engaged in equine guided-learning that turned out to be the most poignant segment of the retreat. Tina worked with Lark, our Equine companion, and our participants to create a conscious energy connection between both. Each guest courageously stepped up, releasing resistance and allowing themselves to become one with Lark. This freedom through Spirit enabled them to move at liberty in all directions. Each participant’s heart-opening experience left us all more expansive and heart connected. There was a lot of LOVE in the arena that day!!

At the close of our weekend, our “Leaders” had another opportunity to intimately relate as Source. Through powerful role-play, each guest was supported in listening and expressing from Source Perspective.

Below is some of the feedback we received from our guests….

Through this design experience and the delivery of the program I gained valuable insights into my own leadership talents and areas for development.”

Creating a community of women willing to be their own leader and take that leadership out to the world.

I appreciated the genuine support and the absence of judgment. I felt like I was able to focus on my own plan and what felt right for me.

The equine piece was so powerful.

I can already feel a sense of calm that I haven’t had before. It’s a confidence that I haven’t had. Nothing too major but definitely noticeable. I feel much better about things, I trust more.

You too can experience this life-changing retreat. Join us at the upcoming “Being Your Own Leader” retreat February 3-5, 2011. Nourish your leader within and create the life you envision!
