How we spent our day:
At our January 2024 one-day mini retreat, we shared unforgettable moments that we're still glowing from, and we'd love for you to be part of our next one:
- Reflect & Release Ceremony: Together, we ventured into the heart of self-discovery, uncovering and gently releasing what no longer served us in a ceremony that was as moving as it was liberating. It was a beautiful beginning to our journey.
- Visioning Session: With hearts open and minds clear, we each envisioned our ideal futures, crafting visions for our days, weeks, and years that sparkled with potential and purpose. The energy in the room was electric with dreams taking flight. Armed with vibrant images and boundless imagination, we created personal vision boards. It was a joyful, creative process that brought our deepest desires to vivid life, and the shared creativity was truly inspiring.
- Signature Scent Workshop: Delving into the enchanting world of scents, each of us crafted a signature perfume that was a reflection of our individual essence. The air was filled with laughter and the sweet promise of new beginnings.
- Culinary Adventure: Our culinary adventure was a feast for the senses, where we laughed, cooked, and savored delicious dishes that nourished us body and soul. The camaraderie in the kitchen was as heartwarming as the food was delicious.
- Integration Conversation: As the day unwound, we gathered for heartfelt conversations, reflecting on our experiences and weaving them into the fabric of our lives. These discussions deepened our connections and left us enriched and inspired.
- Meditation & Sound Healing: We concluded each day with meditation and sound healing sessions that soothed and centered us, wrapping us in a serene embrace and preparing us for the journey forward, together.

What have past participants said?
"Attending the release, reset, reinvent one-day mini retreat in Miami was a transformative experience that opened my eyes to internal blocks I hadn't even realized were holding me back. The serene environment and insightful workshops provided a safe space for deep self-reflection, allowing me to uncover and address hidden obstacles. I left feeling unburdened and empowered, with a newfound clarity and a sense of direction that I am already implementing. Marcia, Trudy and Pam were incredibly skilled at guiding us through our personal journeys, making this retreat a pivotal point in my path to self-improvement."
Stephanie S, Startup Founder
"I attended the Release, Reset, Reinvent 1 day retreat to kick off my 2024. I was expecting a great event, based on what I know of Marcia and the organizers. But the retreat exceeded my expectations. I started the day with an open mind and set my intentions. I left inspired by the exercises and activities as well as the amazing women I had the pleasure of meeting while there. It was clear to me by the end of this one day retreat that this retreat was truly a gift for those of us who were fortunate to attend. Great facilitators, great company, great food! We dug deep but we also had fun. And the work continues. I have my vision journal and my personal scent in hand as well as instructions for some helpful of exercises to continue working on over the coming days and weeks."
Jan O, entrepreneur
"The program was wonderful and an amazing way to start the year off. I enjoyed the workbook activities, journaling exercises, breathwork exercises, vision boarding, cooking class, scent making class, and meditation. I was grateful to walk away with numerous tools to help me manifest the self and life I want. I also left with an accountability partner which was a great connection and tool used to keep both of us on task with our goals. I find myself using the breathwork exercise I liked most, every other day if not every day, and it does help calm me down. I enjoyed sharing the experience with the small group of women and forming a sisterhood. I look forward to continuing on this path of self love and to continue to use the tools I learned at the retreat."
