ROOTED & RISING

A Transformational Retreat for EXHAUSTED Warrior Women

🎯 I’ve been running on empty for so long that I don’t even know what it feels like to be fully energized anymore.  

🎯 I know I need to slow down, but every time I try, I feel guilty, like I should be doing more.  

🎯 I don’t need another productivity system. I need a way to actually enjoy my life again. 

If you’re tired of running on fumes and ready to break free from chronic overwhelm and stress, join us for a transformative weekend in Ontario's beautiful Algonquin Highlands, Haliburton County, where you’ll finally have the space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner truth and purpose.

We’ll immerse ourselves in nature’s healing energy

  • This retreat is designed to give your brain the breathing room it rarely gets so your takeaways can land, deepen, and last.

  • Think of it as productive rest, as the fertile ground where transformation takes root for sustainability.

Through heartfelt group sharing and powerful guided sessions with a like-minded community, you’ll uncover and release the hidden beliefs that have been driving you to overwork and live in survival mode. By the time you leave, you’ll feel lighter, re-energized, and ready to step into a life that feels truly aligned and fulfilling.

Retreat from the noise. Return with purpose.

Meet Your Hosts

Ami & Dr. Gena aren’t your average retreat leaders

They’re the kind of women who’ll lovingly call you in and dance it out with you under the stars. Together, they create spaces where truth-telling, ugly-laughing, and life-shifting breakthroughs are the norm.

✴️ Ami brings her magic as a mindful coach, reflective writer, and burnout survivor who believes calm and chaos can co-exist. Expect grounding energy, deep presence, and just the right amount of playful rebellion. She’s all about helping you feel seen, grounded, and clear on what matters most. She'll remind you that your voices matters, and help you use it.

✴️ Dr. Gena is a soulful speaker, coach, recovering over-achiever, and master hype-woman with a gift for celebrating your wins like they're her own. She gently guides you through the real talk you didn’t know you needed. Her superpower? Radical truth, real connection, and big laughs; making you feel held, honoured, and fiercely supported.

Together? You’re in seriously good hands.

You’ll walk away…

🧡 Mentally, emotionally, and spiritually supported
🧡 With renewed self-trust and personal clarity
🧡 Navigating life with more presence, purpose, and alignment
🧡 Confident in your voice and how you show up
🧡 Surrounded by a circle of women who see you and cheer you on

You might be wondering...

Who is this retreat for, specifically?

Women-identifying warriors who are committed to radical self-awareness.

I've never done a retreat before, what can I expect?

You’re in good company! A lot of the women who join us are retreat first-timers. It’s normal to feel a little unsure or nervous. We’ve been there too.

You don’t have to “be” any certain way to show up here. There’s no prep needed, no expectations. Just come as you are - messy, curious, tired, open, closed, whatever. Everything is optional. We’ve got you.

We can’t tell you exactly what your experience will be; that’s the magic of it. But we can say: you’ll be different than when you arrived. In the best way.

What’s the purpose of all the free time?

Great question and we're so glad youre curious.

The short answer? Your brain needs it.

  • We’ve intentionally built-in spaciousness so your nervous system can shift out of “go mode” and into a state where true integration and creativity happen. When you’re constantly busy juggling meetings, messages, family, and to-do lists, your brain stays in survival mode. It’s efficient, but it’s not built for reflection, insight, or long-term change.

  • Neuroscience tells us that resting states (like focusing on your breath, walking, or just sitting quietly) activate the default mode network. This is the part of your brain that connects the dots, makes meaning, and sparks fresh ideas (Raichle et al., 2001).

So, that “free time”? It’s actually essential.

  • This retreat is designed to give your brain the breathing room it rarely gets so your takeaways can land, deepen, and last.

  • Think of it as productive rest, as the fertile ground where transformation takes root for sustainability.

Can I join the retreat with a friend or come solo?

Absolutely! You're welcome to come solo or bring a friend. Suites are shared so if you come solo we'll do our best to pair you up with a soul who is also coming solo.

What is your refund policy?

No refunds once you commit to this intimate and carefully crafted retreat experience: 

  • Expert Resources. Our experts bring their time, energy, and lived experiences to every moment. 

  • Limited spots. Retreats are seasonal with high demand. Once you’re in, you’re in. 

What's the cost and how is payment handled?

We accept e-transfers/INTERAC payments in full.

Do you accept other payment plans?

No, if finances are a concern, it's best to wait another time. We want participants to feel comfortable with the investment and be able to fully engage without the pressures of financial stress.

What experience do the hosts bring to this retreat?

Together, we've coached thousands of people through personal growth, leadership, mindfulness, and belonging work. We've facilitated workshops, trainings, and conversations that change the way people see themselves and others.

This retreat is a culmination of all that and it's built on our shared commitment to creating experiences that feel warm, real, and restorative.

Here's what coaching clients have said:

  • ”Being able to share my challenges with [them] has been so easy and comfortable. I don’t feel judged and that helps tremendously.”

  • ”It was like talking to my pastor/therapist [… she] had a way of holding space for me to self-reflect […] amazing."

  • "Just amazing and real. I can be my whole self with no worries whatsoever. RARE."

We've got a truckload of experience and a whole lot of heart behind this one.

What if I have dietary restrictions or food sensitivities?

We’ve got you. Meals will be thoughtfully prepared with a focus on nourishment, flavour, and maybe even a touch of cultural flair.

We know everyone’s needs are different. Whether it’s allergies, sensitivities, or preferences so just let us know in advance. We’ll make sure you’re well taken care of with delicious options that work for you.

What's included in my accommodations?

Use of the entire facility, linens and towels are provided. The kitchen is stocked with all the necessities.

What if I have another question?
