The Retreat Experience

Kenya Retreat- The Breakthrough Year
Novemver 2024

This is an invitation to those who know deep in their belly that this is a breakthrough year, not just of an incremental nature, but one that is life changing.
This is an invitation to those who are called into higher levels of creation, not from a place of need, avoidance or agenda but because you are being called to unveil a destiny that is joy fuelled, magical and magnetic.
This is an invitation to those who no matter how successful, on-purpose and happy you are, (and for those who feel a void with this sense of fulfilment), to be brave once again and to take the blindfold off. What are your blindspots that have had you place thresholds on how loving and powerful you have allowed yourself to be?
This is an invitation to those who are willing to be radically generous to self firstly in order to meet a you who lives in awe and wonder of the depth and breadth of your leadership.
This is an invitation to those whose cups are filled by the slipstream of this leadership that creates ripples of impact that are breathtaking and the byproduct of following the intuitive pull, consistently.

Welcome to 12 days of freedom, of intuitive seeing and knowing, of rich connection with yourself and each other, as you open to a flow the moves you into a life of majesty.

Are you birthing a project, curious about what is waiting to be birthed through you, or simply ready to take your leadership, life or business beyond?

As you travel from the beautiful Ololo Lodge, across the diverse land that is Kenya, and you immerse ourself in nature, in the humanity of the land, its people and in your own humanity, you will experience yourself as a depth of wealth, rich in loving authenticity…..and from here, you will be called….Into what will you be called? And who will you become as you say yes to this calling?

How often do you have the privilege to share 12 days, one-on-one, with 2 coaches each with over 20 years experience, totally committed to supporting you
to create BIG MAGIC!

The Time is Now

If you think you don’t have time to step away from your business or life, I’m here to say you do not have time not to. The coherence created in 12 days will give birth to unseen possibility, ignite creative acceleration & see your vision be activated in ways you’d never imagine or perhaps you have and you can’t quite see the how.

What to Expect?

Expect the unexpected! There are no words to describe what happens on Safari, each journey differs from the rest. The space is created to allow an invisible script to show up, one that has to be experienced, it cannot be perceived by the mind.There is a beautiful expansion available to you, a profound connection that ignites joy, freedom and love. When you simply say ‘yes’.

Itinerary

Your 12-day Safari starts with the chink of a champagne flute at the stunning Ololo Lodge overlooking Nairobi National Park. Your journey will not be of the ‘tourist’ variety, but is instead one custom designed to give you an immersive and exhilarating experience of Kenya like no other as the itinerary unfolds day by day.

The one trip that changed "Everything" for me

Gavin Howard

You know this is for you

Let's Talk

Set Yourself Free

It’s not always about what you are creating. It’s often about what you are willing to let go of, what you are willing to lose so you can truly fly free.

The Deeper You Go

Receive the multiple streams of joy, impact and income that become available when you integrate the premise ‘the deeper you go, the greater your wealth in all ways’.

Allow yourself this moment in time to surrender to the plans you didn’t make and open to your intuitive pulls.

The Deeper The Impact

Make a declaration that as an uncontainable force for good, you, who you are, cannot be anything but a facilitator of miracles.

These curiosities will be met in the divine recipe that Kenya is, and you’ll see that when grace does the heavy lifting, Big Magic is your reality.

This is a spiritual experience.

The Itinerary

Arrive into the welcoming arms of the beautiful Ololo Safari Lodge.

Ololo is perfectly situated, on the beautiful banks of the Mbagathi River which forms the southern border of the Nairobi National Park. Set on a productive 20 acre working farm, wildlife is right on our doorstep and all can enjoy breathtaking views over the national park, to the famed Ngong Hills in the west, sundowner in hand.

It’s time to go deeper cocooned in natures wonderland on the shores of Lake Naivasha, nestled in the volcanic hills and open grasslands on the western edge of the Great Rift Valley.

The lake shore, is a favourite hangout and grazing spot for warthog, antelope, zebra, giraffe, hippo, buffalo and many species of birds who roam freely.

The Masai Mara

This four-day stretch is full of surprises and unique experiences that are designed to nurture your soul and feed your heart; it promises to be a sublime experience.

With our hearts wide open and our souls nurtured, we travel to the stunning Masai Mara.

Kericho Gold

As a new day dawns we venture towards the lush green hills of Kericho. Breathing in the magic of tens of thousands of acres of tea, cultivated in an annual rainfall of 2,200mm a year, this will be a truly authentic and unique Kenyan experience as we explore a part of Kenya that few outsiders have to opportunity to see.

Ignite Connection

Meet the little people at Kipchamgaa Children’s Home. Rest assured that igniting connection while sharing your light and magic will be on the agenda!

Kipchamgaa provides a loving home and education for 53 children whom were neglected, abused, exploited, traumatised, discriminated against or abandoned.

Invest in You

With our souls ignited and our hearts full, we venture back into welcoming arms of the beautiful Tarangau Retreat, the seven star incubator on Kenya’s East Coast.

Enjoy, spectacular food, yoga, meditation, massage, walk on the beach, swim in the ocean, revel in glorious African sunsets whilst cocooned in the peace that is Tarangau.

Croatia 2022

Musings from our Croatia Retreat in September 2022

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼-𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗿 Shari Elle. I had an intuition to facilitate with her and called her about four months ago and invited her to come with me. It was effortless. I felt like we were different instruments in an orchestra, sometimes one coming forward, other times sitting back and other times singing together. Whilst I could facilitate on my own, it was so much fun facilitating with Shari!
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗲𝘁, especially as a facilitator (which I did). It does not show weakness. It paves the way for others to trust themselves and the process that much that they also show up 100% right from the beginning. No warming up needed as with most group programs.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿. My intention was that the most perfect group of people would be there in Croatia to catalyse a rising in leadership through rememberings, intuition, acknowledgment of our shadow and ultimately the greatest creative force of deepened love for self and others.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟬% 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. Through my days in Human Resources, the earlier times of my facilitation work in my Dare to be Remarkable days (when I first left my HR career) and how I facilitate and coach presently, I've worked with pre-prescribed structure and content to now working with, in my experience, the most powerful structures of cause and effect, personal responsibility, intuition and letting go and surrendering….in other words, allowing the invisible hand of God/Love/The Universe to create plans that we could never make with our rational mind or personality alone. 'How is God/Love/The Universe showing up today?' was our key question.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱. It's exciting for me to see someone compelled to put their awareness into action (even though their ego might tell them otherwise). And it's exciting for me to dare the participant to do so. People think 'I'll put that into action after the retreat'. Sometimes that's what's called and other times we're called to experience a paradigm shifting reality on retreat. This really tickles me.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 '𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆' 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀. Whilst others would hold 'the last day' as a wrap of appreciation for what has unfolded, I'm now much wiser that 'the last day' is where we wring out the last possibilities for love where there still is fear.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹. I was pulled to diarise two more retreats in 2023 - one in Kenya in May and another with Shari again in Croatia in September 2023. Several people who were in Croatia have now said yes to Kenya. I can now see that it's smart strategy to have more retreats booked in but I never booked them in for this reason. Whilst others may implement this sometimes from a place of manipulation and attachment, these retreats were never booked in from this energy. Intuition has an intelligence that can see into the future and it's delightful to catch up in real time to see what it had always known.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁. Whilst I've facilitated six overseas retreats prior to Croatia, I've never been the organiser. This was a huge act of commitment and at least a month's worth of work prior to landing in Croatia let alone being present to the logistics when we were there. I have enormous appreciation for those who've organised retreats and I now value the process so much more. I also know that the commitment I gave to Croatia created momentum elsewhere in my business. Because after all, this year's theme is Overflow and the main premise holding this theme is 'Momentum serves the committed'.
That its my responsibility to continue to rise and paradigm shift into new realities by following the intuitive pull. This is the integrity that seeks me to facilitiate Croatia September 2023

Last Thursday I completed facilitating a Retreat in Croatia entitled ‘Calling in the new in ourselves and each other’. It was phenomenal and I’d say the most powerful retreat I’ve experienced to date.

On the flight over from Geneva to Split, I started writing on my phone and what appeared was a prayer for the retreat that I had no idea I’d compose. We opened and closed the retreat with this prayer which I also turned into a meditation episode which you can listen to here A Prayer for your Leadership https://podcasts.apple.com/…/the…/id1591584163…. . I hope you find it valuable.

I took my 88 year old Mum with me (see pic in Dubrovnik overlooking the Old Town) and we are currently in her home town in Switzerland and I’m very much looking forward to being back with my family soon.

Last night before I went to sleep I asked myself ‘what am I taking away from Croatia?’. Here are just some of my takeouts. I hope they also feed you.

How do we work together?

From a practical perspective, I partner with clients in

and

Here we dig deep and embrace an intuitive process, coaching one on one and in a peer environment on regular zoom calls and retreats. The power of the group is alchemical, creating an overflow of awareness, insight, vision, strategy, compelled action and collaboration. I’m always in wonder at how the perfect mix of people find themselves together at any given time.
