Why Retreat Yourself?

Writer: Heather HigginsHeather Higgins

Our Women in Business retreat in February was a profound experience that left me with a multitude of reflections and insights, ones I feel are worth sharing with those considering attending the upcoming retreat.


One of the most striking realizations was the power of intention AND the beauty of spontaneity. While it's helpful to come with a clear intention for growth and learning, I observed that those who approached the retreat with an open mind and heart experienced transformation and growth in a surprising way. By releasing the pressure of predefined outcomes, they allowed themselves to fully immerse in the experience, leading to profound shifts and discoveries.


A pivotal aspect of the retreat was the environment of safety and support that enveloped us. In this nurturing space, vulnerability became a gateway to authentic connections with fellow women. Sharing our stories and concerns fostered a deep sense of camaraderie and understanding, unveiling insights into issues we may not have even realized were present. It was a reminder of the transformative power of genuine human connection and the strength found in solidarity.


Laughter emerged as a potent tool for fostering positivity and breaking down barriers. The laughter yoga session was one of the highlights of the retreat – if you haven’t tried it, please do so! Not only was it exhilarating and fun, but it also served as a powerful bonding experience. Through shared laughter, walls crumbled, and a sense of positive unity flourished. It was a testament to the joy that can be found in simple moments of connection and the power of not taking ourselves too seriously.


The importance of nourishment, both physical and emotional, became evident. Good food not only satiated our bodies but also lifted our spirits, creating an atmosphere of comfort and well-being. Feeling nourished on all levels allowed us to show up fully and authentically for ourselves and our businesses, emphasizing the link between personal fulfillment and professional success.


Something else I observed was how unanswered questions can weigh heavily on our minds and in our hearts.  They cast shadows on our successes and how we feel about ourselves.  During the retreat, as some of those questions came to light, the genuine, loving support provided by the facilitators, AND the other attendees, was powerful and lasting. Learning the value of reaching out for help and support provides a sense of relief and empowerment enabling us to excel as individuals and entrepreneurs.


On a deeply personal level, I am profoundly humbled by the women who entrusted us with the investment of their time, energy, selves, and resources. It's a responsibility I do not take lightly. I am committed to and empowered by the onus to create a retreat truly worth this dedication. My greatest desire is to provide information and experiences that genuinely transform their lives, leaving them with the unwavering belief that by embracing and building upon their own unique magnificence, they possess the power to create the life and business of their dreams. This trust fuels my passion and dedication to ensure that every aspect of the retreat serves to uplift, inspire, and empower each participant on their journey through the chaotic, amazing, and fulfilling adventures of life – personally and professionally.
