Conscious Leadership Retreat

FRIDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2025

A nature-based day retreat to deepen presence, clarity and connection at Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre

Escape into nature. Quiet the noise. Emerge with Clarity.

Inspired by stillness and natural surroundings, you’ll draw upon renewed clarity as you explore your unique leadership strengths, tendencies, beliefs and motivations – in an intimate, supportive and confidential setting.

Many high-performing leaders find their minds are often racing and their to-do lists can feel endless. While they may understand their purpose clearly, they sometimes notice a subtle, deeper sense of disconnection –from themselves, their energy, and the moment-to-moment experiences of their lives.

This retreat offers a rare chance to pause, quiet the noise, and return to inner steadiness – so you can lead with deeper self-awareness, presence and clarity.

Connect and Integrate

Each activity is thoughtfully designed to deeper your understanding of how to cultivate inner spaciousness, work with your reactive patterns and unlock your unique creative expression. You’ll wrap up the day feeling nourished and connected – to self, purpose, nature and your fellow leaders.

We understand that lasting change requires support. That’s why, after the retreat, you’ll receive seven days of audio recordings to deepen your insights, followed by a live online integration session. You will also be offered the option to sustain and deepen your transformation through The Arborvida Collective – a year-long mastermind to bring deeper presence and clarity into your leadership.

A transformative journey

The journey begins in the weeks leading up to the retreat. In September, you’ll receive access to pre-retreat information, guidance and reflective prompts.

On the day of the retreat you’ll take in the fall colours on your scenic drive to the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre to spend a day immersed in nature and community.

Following a grounding exercise, savour some refreshments and a light breakfast as you get to know your fellow participants. You’ll then be guided through an expertly curated series of activities including reflective time in the forest, awareness-building practices, fireside chat, guided meditation and peer-to-peer sharing.

  • "The day was incredible. You created a space for us to be vulnerable, allowed time to digest our learnings and respectfully challenged some of our ways of thinking. I would highly recommend this day retreat to any leader who wants to better connect to their leadership capacities and learn from other likeminded leaders."

    — MELISSA, MANAGER

  • “I loved the experience and am really hoping it’s an annual retreat. As leaders, we need to learn to slow down before we can speed up. You are a masterful facilitator.”

    — STEPHEN, CEO

  • "Thank you, Rebecca, for an incredible day! I highly recommend this retreat experience to anyone who wishes to deepen their practice of conscious leadership”
