The Power of Retreats: Why True Transformation Happens When You Step Away

Stepping Away to Step Into Your True Self

In a world that glorifies hustle and constant achievement, taking time away to pause, reflect, and realign can feel like a radical act. But what if the most powerful breakthroughs, the kind that shift your entire trajectory, don’t happen while you're grinding away at your desk—but instead, in the vastness of nature, under an African sky, where the noise of daily life fades and your soul finally has the space to speak?

This is why I created my transformational retreats—because true expansion doesn’t happen when you’re running on autopilot. It happens when you give yourself permission to be instead of always doing.

And there’s no place that mirrors this experience more profoundly than Africa.


Kenya: The Retreat That Changed Everything (2022)

In 2022, I led a group of florists on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Kenya. It was a retreat designed to be part business growth, part personal transformation. We explored lush flower farms, connected deeply with the artistry of floral design, and witnessed firsthand the abundance that exists when we are in full alignment with our purpose.

But what happened outside of the business sessions was just as impactful. Conversations over dinner under the stars turned into realizations about self-worth, expansion, and stepping into something greater than just a business—it was about creating a life they actually loved.

By the time we left, it was clear: this was more than a retreat. It was a rebirth.


Botswana: The VIP Experience That Redefined Luxury & Expansion (2024)

Fast forward to 2024, and the next evolution of this transformational experience was born—this time in Botswana, an ultra-luxury VIP immersion in one of the most exclusive private reserves in the world.

This wasn’t just about taking a break. It was about returning home to yourself—to who you were before life told you who you had to be.

Imagine this:

  • Waking up to the sounds of the wild, with a private chef preparing breakfast as you sip your coffee overlooking the savanna.
  • Daily game drives, where you witness the sheer power and beauty of nature—reminding you that YOU, too, are powerful beyond measure.
  • Intentional workshops and personal mentoring, guiding you through the process of unbecoming everything you were taught to be—so you can step fully into who you were always meant to be.
  • Sunset dinners by the river, where breakthroughs happen effortlessly because you’re finally in an environment that supports your highest vision.

This wasn’t just a retreat. It was an activation.

Because when you strip away the distractions, the expectations, and the need to constantly do—what’s left is your purest essence. And that’s where true transformation begins.
