Mindful leadership is all about becoming familiar with your own operating instructions (your stressors, your stress response cycle, your nervous system and physiological reactions to stress, etc.) so that you can understand more about the operating instructions of your team.

Mindful Leadership will allow you to show up from a place that is grounded, patient, empathetic, and understanding, even in the middle of the messiness. It helps you proactively shift the team dynamic and prevent burnout so you and your team can thrive.

We know that a human-centric work design drives lower rates of fatigue, higher likelihood of intent to stay, and increased employee performance. To get there, it takes a willingness to be transparent in your own personal journey of growth, acknowledge the elephants in the room, and work through stressful moments instead of avoiding them.

As Brené Brown says, “Leaders must either invest a reasonable amount of time attending to fears and feelings, or squander an unreasonable amount of time trying to manage ineffective and unproductive behavior.”

Mindful leadership supports you in holding space for yourself so you can hold space for others. That’s where positive, sustainable change starts. 

Because we want you to book transportation that makes the most sense for you, and because so many of our participants are traveling from around the country, we left travel costs out of the registration fee for the experience so you can pick what works best for you.

Please note: While travel to and from the experience is not included, all food, lodging, materials and transportation during the experience are included in your registration fee.

Yes! As long as there are no people in the same reporting lines, you’re good to go. Teammates who are peers are more than welcome to join the same experience. 

If you want to do this with your team, we can schedule a private custom retreat, just for you!

Absolutely! This would make an incredibly thoughtful gift for anyone who is looking to define their mindful leadership style and take part in a unique experience that offers a blend of both personal development and deep rest and relaxation.

Absolutely. This is exactly why we limit our group sizes, and one of the aspects we enjoy the most about facilitating these experiences.

Both coaches will be available for office hours throughout the retreat, and we will also work with you to schedule a 1:1 session with both of us before the retreat begins so we can get to know you, your goals, and understand what you would like to get out of your experience.

You will also receive a follow up 1:1 session with each of your coaches post-retreat.

Because our curriculum falls under the umbrella of highly-specialized personal & leadership development, companies can either subsidize the cost of your program fee or cover the costs entirely.

If this is something you are interested in doing and would like additional information, resources, or supporting documentation that outlines the key deliverables and frameworks within our programming, please let us know and we would be happy to provide you with any materials or collaborate with your leadership team to discuss pricing.

We are also happy to hop on a Zoom call to discuss your team’s needs to create a fully customized experience for your entire team! Contact us at [email protected] 

We offer a pay-in-full discount, early bird discount, and a 2-month payment plan. We accept all major credit cards as well as Google Pay, Apple Pay, and PayPal. Afterpay is also an option, which allows you to pay over time in installments (either 4 interest-free payments within a period of 6 weeks, or through a payment plan of your choice). The cost breakdown of this will be facilitated by Afterpay and will be visible on the checkout page. 

Due to the nature of pre-booking fees and accommodations, all purchases are non-refundable. Payment must be received in full 60 days prior to the retreat. In the case of a personal emergency, 50% of the registration fee may be carried forward and applied to future registration at an IGNITE retreat. The remaining 50% is non-refundable.

Far from it! 

Here’s how we do things differently:

• Breathing Room: Our retreats are filled with luxurious chunks of time where you can reflect, practice, and experiment with mindfulness and how to craft your Mindful Leadership Style. We are in no rush. There are ample opportunities for breaks, meals, and socializing. 
  
  
• No PowerPoints & Lectures: You’re not here to be taught something you can read from a book.  You’re here to experience mindfulness, develop skills, regulate your nervous system, make connections, and grow in community. 
   
• Minimal Tech Zone: Feel free to leave your laptop and phone in your suite on "do not disturb." All of our materials don’t require tech to participate, so you can retrain your attention to focus on what’s right in front of you. 
  
  
• Artisanal Nourishing Food: If you are used to donuts, trail mix and sodas as your snacks at traditional offsites, prepare to see the difference in your mood and energy levels when you are supported with nourishing, wholesome, delicious & delightful meals and snacks that support your mind and body from the inside out. We can accommodate any dietary restrictions and allergies. View an Example Breakfast Menu at one of our retreats here.

You will have increased awareness of what you need for your own mindfulness practice. As you continue to build stress resilience, it will help you navigate the various challenges life brings with less negative impact on your mental and physical health.

You will also be equipped with tools designed to help you engage in more meaningful conversations and connections with others, whether at work or in your personal life. 

You will be able to recognize and unplug from things that aren’t helpful and intentionally connect (and reconnect) to what holds greater meaning for you. As you integrate work and life, you will get clarity on what that means for you! 

For You

When you’re in a healthier place, you show up differently than when you’re operating from a place of burnout. We’ll give you the tools to be able to manage the everyday stressors you encounter so you can navigate what comes with greater ease and less negative impact.

For Your Team

When you focus on the deeply human aspects of what it means to be a leader, it has a significant impact on employee health and performance.

Statistics from Gartner show us that human-centric work design drives:

• 3.1x likelihood of low fatigue
• 3.2x likelihood of intent to stay
• 3.8x likelihood of high employee performance

We’ll give you the tools and space to practice engaging in meaningful conversations so you can build deeper connections and facilitate a transformative and authentic team environment. 

What does this mean for your career? 

You will be able to achieve long-term elevated performance while feeling fulfilled and joyful in your career, creating a culture of collaboration, connection, and authenticity within your team to drive innovation and productivity.

Keep in mind that overall career growth and satisfaction doesn’t always mean getting that next promotion. Sometimes it’s about redefining what work and your ideas of work and success mean to you. Join us in exploring some new perspectives about what’s possible! 

During your time with us, you will uncover, articulate, and ignite your unique Mindful Leadership Style.  

You will take part in an experience designed to help you step away from your everyday life, clear out the noise, and get clarity so you can sustain your plan after you leave.

Throughout the experience, you will have the opportunity to unplug from distractions and get connected to the things that matter.

With our small group sizes, you’ll be able to foster deep connections and a sense of community. All of our retreats are nature-based to provide you space to reconnect with the world around you. 

We want you to leave feeling refreshed, reconnected to what matters most, and with a strong sense of how to carry your Mindful Leadership Style forward!

We will also offer you support before and after the experience with 1:1 coaching to ensure you get the most out of your time with us.

You will learn how to:

• Foster your personal mindfulness practice
• Handle high-stress situations with more confidence and ease
• Lead mindfulness exercises with confidence
• Deepen authentic conversations with your team members
• Infuse what you learn into all team interactions–both 1:1 and with groups
• Work with high-intensity emotions within yourself and your team with less stress and anxiety
• Shift your team culture in a positive way
• Create a long-term strategy to cultivate mindfulness practices and integrate them into how you lead every day
• Get clarity on your priorities so you can achieve a healthy work/life integration
• Reframe your relationship with career growth and success

Our retreats and workshops are strategically crafted to give you the time and space to unwind, de-stress, and recharge while simultaneously putting in the work to craft your holistic Mindful Leadership Style. 

We like to provide a high-level overview of our days while keeping the specifics a surprise. 

To honor everyone’s interaction preferences we include opportunities for 1:1 coaching, peer-to-peer mentorship, group reflection, and introspection  

Every retreat includes the following:

• Highly nourishing breakfast 
• Light morning movement to wake up the body
• Mindfulness breaks 
• Luxurious lunches & dinners w/ ample time for socializing 
• Sessions are broken up into chunks that are no longer than 90 minutes. They include a mix of sessions that are crafted to help you elevate your personal mindfulness practice, develop & craft your mindful leadership style, and get clarity on what matters most. 
• No more sitting and staring at a projector screen for 8+ hours a day. You will be moving your body, exploring the property & walking and chatting with your new peers in a dynamic and ease-filled day. Each day will be filled with rich conversations, connections, and insights.

Our participants are insightful, curious, empathetic leaders at heart. Whether you are an executive leading a team of 50+, an owner of a small business, or someone who is hungry for connection and authenticity within the landscape of corporate life, all of our participants are interested in learning more about their personal leadership style.

They are curious and interested in learning how to navigate stress within modern life, and want to develop more resiliency, connection, authenticity, and collaboration within their unique organizations and communities. 

We purposefully limit our retreats to 12 attendees or less, with most groups falling in the range of 5-10 participants. We do this to ensure that everyone has a personalized experience and the opportunity for 1:1 coaching, as well as to foster a group dynamic that encourages a safe space for deep connection and community building.
