Vision a Paradigm Shift
for Your Career
Take the Next Step of Your New Beginning…
Supercharge your mission and vision in a 3-Day Retreat with established colleagues who crave deeper meaning and next-level impact.
This is an immersive workshop that supports you to courageously dream and name out loud what you’ve been missing and what you want to create.
This program includes integrated experiences that support your mind, heart, body, and soul. We will gather together women leaders of like mind and heart who will give and receive a rich tapestry of wisdom.
About You
You have accomplished a lot and are done driving.
You are asking yourself, “What’s next for my career?”
You are craving the next level of meaningful impact and more fulfilling contribution.
You are ready to listen to the wisdom of your deeper impulse for your next direction.
You are craving a community of women who can meet you in experience, intellect, spirit/consciousness, heart, and power.
Imagine a New Reality
One thing you’ll learn in this retreat is the importance of being able to visualize and feel a new reality to build new neuropathways and take action. Here’s a chance to practice!
We invite you to imagine…
Clearly naming and mapping a future that’s authentic, unique, aligned, alive, and energizing for you.
Having a vision that feels grounded, real, and attainable - not airy-fairy or unrealistic, but still expansive, new, ground-breaking, and a good kind of scary.
Feeling supported and seen by your mentors and peers as you create this.
You don’t have to hold back on what you want to create or ask for; you get to be your full self this time, your right-sized self (rather than squeezing yourself into a society-defined box)
Feeling the strength from standing in the truth of what you are called to do in this lifetime and how you are called to do it.
We created the Living Your Legacy Retreat to do exactly this with you. We know it’s not for everyone… but it’s for you if you are ready.
What You Will Learn and Gain from This 3-Day Retreat…
Bust through the walls of “shoulds” that hold you back from fulfilling your true purpose.
How to use your mind, heart, gut, body, and soul to get clues about your mission and next steps.
Overcome self-dismissal - masquerading as humility - to embrace your true gifts and what you can give to the world.
Identify and release the old coping mechanisms that got you to now - but have begun to be obstacles.
Resource wisdom, knowledge, and experience from Sonya, Carole, and a powerful group of peers.
Nourishment for your whole self to receive reflection, movement, time in nature, and beautiful meals so you can go back out into your world refueled.
What This 3-Day Retreat Includes…
A safe space and intentional structure for you to vision and voice (maybe for the first time) what you really want to create.
Powerful tools to liberate old judgments, thoughts, and patterns.
Facilitated sessions to radically unblock emotionally repressed energy.
Movement and meditations to help you learn to welcome all parts of your experience in your body and the clear wisdom it provides.
A different framework for how to think about and approach relationships.
Practices to explore Consciousness (the source of your work and life) and expansion beyond limited day-to-day thinking.
A taste of structured and facilitated peer group coaching.
Why We Created This Retreat…
We – Sonya and Carole – are both successful executive coaches and facilitators with 50+ years of experience and training between us in personal, spiritual, and professional development. We have recreated ourselves and our careers multiple times and know exactly what it’s like to hit the brakes, re-assess our worlds, make a radical pivot (and even move across the country!), and start a new career. We’ve both faced the mountain of challenges (logistical, psychological, or spiritual!) that come with starting something new. We’ve both made it over those mountains and – despite whatever struggles we may have experienced on the road – have always felt grateful we landed in our new work and new lives.
But more importantly, we have been hearing from many of our successful female clients (across industries) about their fatigue, frustration, and sometimes even boredom with the status quo of how their careers are now. And we’ve been able to help them a) create a new path that’s sustainable and alive for them, and b) overcome their mountain of challenges to land in a new valley of fulfillment.
However, we realized that our 1:1 coaching was missing something; we realized that we could serve you better by creating a group program where you can learn while developing a supportive sisterhood. So, one sunny afternoon in Sonya’s backyard, Living Your Legacy was born. As we ask you to do, we always follow both inner knowing and common sense; this program was created with a powerful alchemy of inner wisdom, our clients’ needs, and guidance (read “mystical kick-in-the-butt”) to offer this to you. We feel excited to make the best of our coaching, teaching, and community available to you.
What This Retreat is Not…
It’s not a woo-woo retreat in which you will sit on your ass and gaze at your navel. We’ve done those, we’ve benefited from those immensely - but that’s not what this is. We know our clients love connecting with heart, nature, soul, and/or consciousness… but they also like to get stuff done. And we do too.
At the same time, this retreat is also not super-in-the-weeds planning the day-to-day details for what your work should be. Instead, we’ll be balancing expansive exploration with pragmatic realities plus healthy emotional and physical self-care.
So, yes, you’ll have time for contemplation, journaling, and walks in nature. But we will also be actively exploring, creating, and visioning the next set of possibilities with you, your work and life. We’ll be creating a map of what is to come for you. We’ll be facing the challenges, concerns, and fears that come with change; we’ll be supporting each other to move beyond those fears. We’ll dive deep and listen to parts of you that you might not have tuned into before.
Our intention is that you will leave retreat with a map of what’s to come and the critical next steps that you can take to build your new life.
What is This Worth to You?
We always ask our clients to ask themselves - What’s true for you? What’s resonating for you?
How would this program benefit you?
What would it feel like to not struggle alone? Or play smaller out of habit?
How can we, along with a fabulous peer group of powerful women, support you to be more of yourself in the world?
We are both very motivated by human evolution (Carole even created a map of human evolution), and we both believe that part of growth means you don’t hold back. We don’t want you to hold back. In this next phase of your career, we want you to have the courage to be bold and create what’s alive for you - even if it’s brand new and it’s never been done before. We know that doing that requires support. This retreat is designed to be that support.

Please don’t wait or hesitate…
If you are still reading, we hope that this is speaking to you… singing to you and resonating with you. We’d love to be able to say that we’ll do this again next year, but we honestly don’t know. We know right now that we are very called to do this, and this may be the one and only time. Both of us operate by listening closely to where, how, and for whom we need to serve. We both heard the call to do this. We hope that you are part of that call.
If you are, please join us in September. We are limiting the number of participants - 20 or less - because we want this to be connective, intimate, and deep. We want you to feel connected with everyone at the workshop. So please don’t wait on the fence - if you want to be a member of this small group, we hope you jump in and sign up as soon as possible. We’d hate to miss you.
If you don’t know one or either of us, please meet with us 1:1 so you can get to know us. If you have any questions about costs or logistics, read more below, or contact us with questions.
The not-so-fine print
We trust you to make a true and aligned decision on your investment; thus there are no refunds.
You will be responsible for any costs related to travel to Pescadero and for any additional nights lodging outside of the nights of September 23 and 24, 2024.
