Is this for me?

For the woman who is ready

This experience is for the woman who is ready to say yes to her ambition and won't compromise on a spacious life lived with deep, selfish joy.

❋ You're launching a new project, pivoting, or stepping into your next season
❋ You seek clarity, energy, and aligned decision-making
❋ You crave meaningful creative connection
❋ Whether just starting or already established, you're ready to pause, reset, and bloom
❋ You want to reconnect with your inner child and your ambition

What to Expect

A group of women gathered outdoors around a white table with books, notebooks, and glasses of water, listening to a woman standing and speaking in front of a stone building with a red window shutter, red umbrella, green trees, and grassy area.

Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

Three women sit around a white outdoor table with a large red umbrella in a garden, adjacent to a stone house with red shutters and a staircase. The background includes trees and a wire fence.

Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

People practicing yoga outdoors on yoga mats in a garden, with a dog lying on the grass nearby, surrounded by greenery and old brick buildings under a clear blue sky.

A safe space

Comfort, safety, and respect are non-negotiable. Show up exactly as you are. No performance required just your presence.

What did they EXPERIENCE in 2025?

Claire shares her insights from day 3

A person with long dark hair reading a book while sitting on the edge of a vintage bathtub with a rustic wooden shelf, inside a green-framed glass-enclosed room with a garden view.

Manu shared this beautiful poem she wrote about gifting herself this experience, here is the English translation from the original Portugese:

buy a last-minute plane ticket
just to be somewhere with someone you trust.

and then
a bathroom with flowers
a plate with flowers
so many gardens
a drink of flowers
and suddenly,
even what you thought was gone
begins to bloom again.

and then you feel one percent more.
more whole, more happy, more more.
and you let yourself be more.
you let the lips release that phrase
you never dare to say,
not even when no one is listening.

you loosen the ties,
quiet the stranger’s voice,
give light to what was hidden.
You grab the hand of your little self,
and let her speak into the microphone
about dreams.
about joy.

let her romanticize it all.
because (my) life is
among many things
beautiful.
