Retreat Details

October 3 - 6, 2024
Arrive Thursday evening in time for introductions and a couple of icebreakers. Sunday we will celebrate with a champagne brunch before checking out.

(Feel free to check out the photos of our retreat house!)
Who?
Only 10 women - max! - We’ve intentionally designed this retreat as a small group experience exclusively for women who are seeking personal empowerment.
-
Connecting with other women who are in a similar place can be incredibly empowering. Small groups in this format can generate a sense of support and act as a sounding board. They can mirror our own challenges in a way that allows us to see ourselves for the first time. While it may sound somewhat intimidating, the research is clear; small group interactions can propel personal growth to new heights.
-
As a licensed therapist, Leslyn specializes in teaching people how to see themselves honestly and without judgment. The building blocks of self awareness are a big part of this retreat. You will investigate your values, your mindset, your emotions, and what those things bring into your daily life. We’ll move from there to self acceptance, learning to see things as they are. And then, self love. The seeds for true change will be planted and you will leave with skills to build upon and an understanding of how to enhance your self discovery journey.
-
Leslyn will introduce elements of mindfulness and meditation for the naysayer and the beginner. Breathwork and Guided imagery will also be introduced and practiced. You’ll learn how these disciplines can change anger into calm, anxiety into peace, and stress into ease.
-
Over the course of two and a half days, there will be plenty of group, partnered, and one-on-one sharing. The breadth and scope of the disclosure and conversation will be determined solely by your comfort level. Reflection time is built into the syllabus so that you can digest the presented information privately if you choose and get clarity when needed.

I just experienced the transformation offered in the ThisIsMe Weekend retreat! I loved the experience of delving into my authentic self and learning from Leslyn’s wisdom, in all areas of self awareness and self growth. We shared, laughed, cried, and bonded. We were encouraged to delve deep so we could get to the heart of who we truly are and express that in all that we do.

Thank you again for the retreat. I think that one really valuable aspect of the retreat was the creation of an atmosphere where even introverts like me felt comfortable to share openly and participate in the discussion. The copious and relevant information that Leslyn presented combined with the input from my peers allowed me to gain some unexpected insights.

I arrived knowing only one person and left with a new group of friends who reminded me we are all human, vulnerable, and loved. I appreciate the ability to learn new ways to reflect, pause, and live with intention. I'm looking forward to the next one. Everyone needs to consider being a part of it.

Knowledge is Power!
Living your best life requires you to know and understand yourself.
Why do you do what you do?
How did you become who you are?
What drives your reactions? Your choices? Your hopes and dreams?
The ThisIsMe Weekend Retreat is the perfect way to jumpstart your personal growth journey, stimulate one you’ve abandoned, or give new energy to the one you’ve been traveling.
I’m Leslyn, Your Host.
I’ve always believed that there is a lesson or some element of value in each experience if only we take time to look for it. My lessons include life challenges highlighted by being widowed – twice; a challenging divorce; periods of unemployment; raising children as a single mother; and facing financial hardships.
Today, I’m a mental health practitioner, personal growth coach, and author with a passion to help others.
Make an investment in your personal development today.
