Does this sound familiar?

You have a calling to make an impact, and you question, “Who am I to do this?” 

You’re excited about your idea, yet you’re not confident you can pull it off.

You’re prepared to take a leap of faith to leave a footprint in our world, though you aren’t sure where to start.

You have the passion needed, but you question if your skills and experience are enough.

What if there are no “buts” and,

the fear of the unknown was totally normal?

fulfilling your vision of what’s possible didn’t have to be so hard?

you had accountability support?

the support you need was available?

the day to day didn’t feel so mundane?

there was a safe creative space?

you lived in a judgment-free zone?

you didn’t have to do it all alone?

What if you had the confidence needed to let go and take action?

Let us help you find your confidence!

What will the retreat include?

An intimate, exclusive experience.

Join us in sunny southern California in a space that is dedicated to creating a fun and creative environment for you to step into nature and explore your passion. Only twelve (12) spots are available for the retreat, creating an intimate experience that is perfect for synergy and fostering community.

Each day includes mental fitness exercises, strategy development, deep listening, individual reflection, small group work, outdoor exploration to connect with nature.

Blend of productive, and restorative activities.

We understand that time to digest the epiphanies and allow your creative juices to flow are imperative to creating authentic and effective strategic plans.

Structured for maximum empowerment, fun, and ROI, you’ll be able to take full advantage of your time away without the looming threat of interruption, or someone needing you for something.

Join Cinnamon for morning yoga or Desiree for some breath work to reset and renew. Or enjoy a rocking chair on the lawn during breaks.

Structure to complete your strategic plan.

The retreat experience includes us providing you with the time, guidance, and template to outline how to bring your vision to life and also prioritize actionable next steps.

Learn how to design your plan, remove obstacles before you run into them, and find the confidence to speak up and implement your vision into the world.

A sense of community.

A safe judgment free space to learn from each other's life lessons, share ideas, be inspired and laugh ‘til our belly hurts. No matter what your life experiences have been so far, you are guaranteed to learn from yourself and each other.

Enjoy healthy and delicious farm to table meals. Engage in conscious conversations to help you increase self-awareness, find clarity and confidence, and align your passions with your purpose.

Enjoy the following with us:

  • delicious farm-to-table cuisine

  • breathtaking sunrises and sunsets

  • beautiful indoor and outdoor gathering spaces

  • complimentary snacks, tea, and treats

What will I leave the retreat with?

The R.O.I. Retreat is an immersive experience that will leave you with no doubt how to move forward in a new mindset and hunger for impact!

Retreat Agenda

  • We know how passionate you are to make an impact on the world, so you don’t have to wait to begin!

    We kick off the program two weeks before the in-person retreat with an activity that will allow you to paint the picture of the world you envision. You will also take the Energy Leadership Index Assessment. One of the top 10 leadership assessments in the world!

  • After checking in, join us for a welcome reception and overview of the program.

    Next Cinnamon will help you set the stage for your unique path during the retreat. Followed by an introduction to the strategic guide you will be completing throughout the program.

    It couldn’t be a retreat without dinner, networking, and wine tasting featuring wines from the region.

    Last, we close the day out with Darlene teaching you how to set the foundation for you to use your voice for success.

  • Ease your way into the day with an optional wellness activity with Cinnamon, sleep in, or enjoy the views with a cup of tea before we head to breakfast to fuel up for the day ahead!

    We kick it into high gear with developing your strategy to give your vision legs and Desiree debriefing your personal Energy Leadership Index results to help you learn how your unique perception of the world can connect with others in more impactful ways.

    After lunch we will have time for you to take what you have learned so far and integrate it into your strategic plan making it even stronger before Darlene uncovers your innate ability to activate your thought leadership voice as you build on your confidence and power.

    Continue the conversation at dinner and join us to close out the evening by brainstorming with the hosts or on your own.

  • Prepare for a robust half day as we open up with another optional wellness activity and enjoy our last meal together at the retreat before we look to the future and design your intentional implementation of your vision and close out the program with accountability and your bold promise to yourself and the world.

  • Support doesn’t stop the last day of the retreat!

    Join us virtually for the 4 weeks following the retreat for accountability, brainstorming, and navigating unforeseen obstacles.

    VIP members will also enjoy three individual follow up sessions, one with each of the facilitators, to take their vision even further!

“Darlene has a passion in coaching. She taught me a valuable lesson to focus on being of service to people. For someone that has struggled with the imposter syndrome and thinking that I’m not “credible enough,” her words of wisdom really resonated with me and was the catalyst for me to run with my podcast show unapologetically.
