Purposeful Pause Women's Retreat

The Purposeful Pause is a guided retreat for professional women ready to step back with intention, reconnect with purpose, and move forward with clarity and courage.

This experience brings together women from all stages of life and career, creating a rare opportunity to tap into collective intelligence and share the incredible wealth of wisdom in the room. When women gather, magic happens — new insights emerge, courage grows, and possibilities expand.

Whether you’re navigating change, feeling stretched thin, or simply craving space to think deeply, this retreat offers a supportive environment to:

Reflect on your journey and the lessons that have shaped you.

Reconnect with what truly energizes and aligns you.

Release what no longer fits.

Reimagine your future with boldness and clarity.

Reintegrate — return ready to apply your insights with practical tools and renewed energy.

Through a blend of guided exercises, facilitated discussions, and nature-anchored experiences, you’ll leave with:

A refreshed, actionable vision for forward momentum — professionally and personally.

Practical tools and frameworks to lead with intention and resilience.

Fresh inspiration and perspectives from an incredible group of women.

A deepened, more sustainable connection to yourself.

Many participants choose this retreat as a dedicated professional development investment — a chance to sharpen strategic thinking, strengthen leadership presence, and return to work with a clearer sense of direction and renewed capacity.

Our flagship retreat in Costa Rica has inspired many people. Now, we’re bringing this same depth and transformative power to beautiful local settings in Ontario throughout the year.

Slow down to accelerate. Step away to return stronger.
