Spring Equinox Leadership Retreat
AZORES
March 19 - 26, 2022


WE GATHER TO GO BEYOND RESILIENCE 

Imagine yourself in a place where you are grounded, able to tap into your purpose and integrity in the face of shifting, unpredictable, and emergent change.

See yourself embodying your role as guardian of the Earth by nurturing and tending the roots of your whole self. 

Surround yourself with an intimate group of women who gather to choose a path to wholeness where we don’t push the boulder up the mountain and stretch ourselves beyond our limits.

Find yourself centered, rooted, and able to respond to stressors from a place of security.

We gather to be ROOTSilient leaders, TAPPING INTO OUR PURPOSE AND CREATING A BETTER WORLD.

Join the ROOTSilience Spring Equinox Leadership Retreat and learn practical tools to lead with impact and purpose while not burning out and destroying our health in the process. 

“ROOTSilience allowed me the opportunity to connect with a network of women ...in collectively exploring how imbalances in the chakras affect our ability to lead and what we can do in our daily practices to bring more balance and ease into our lives.” — Michele 

RETREAT OVERVIEW


The ROOTSilience Leadership Series Retreat is a 7-day, 8-night retreat organized around the ancient chakra system and has three pillars: embodied conscious leadership; food as medicine; and yoga and meditation. 

Each day we explore the three pillars as they relate to each chakra, starting from the top down, clearing a path to our roots. We take the notion of "resilience" a step deeper to lead and live as our whole selves.
