Every day, you create space for others to grow, reflect, and lead with intention.
This retreat is a rare chance to create that space for yourself.
Restore. Explore. Expand. is a two-night immersive experience designed for executive coaches who want to step out of delivery mode, reconnect with what matters, and return home with renewed energy, fresh perspective, and a stronger sense of community.
Set against the backdrop of Grace Winery, you’ll experience a thoughtful blend of reflection, learning, and connection in a small group of peers who understand the unique privilege (and weight) of this work.
Pause long enough to replenish your energy and return to yourself.
Gain new perspectives through shared learning, creativity, and meaningful conversation.
Strengthen your capacity and community, leaving with tools, ideas, and relationships you can lean on.
You’ll leave with:
01
arrive, exhale, and reconnect with what you need
02
expand perspective through shared learning and experimentation
03
integrate insights into your practice and your next steps
Dates: April 22–24, 2026
