Join me for a 3-day transformational retreat on the stunning island of Ortigia, Sicily where you will:

 

  • Learn to break free from self doubt and imposter syndrome;
  • Discover your authentic voice to help you reach those who need to hear you;
  • Be part of a groundbreaking documentary film that will capture the retreat.

 

If you have ever played small in your life, when knowing deep down that there is so much more you want to be and have to offer, then this one time dream opportunity is going to be the catalyst for your breakthrough.

Join The Waiting List

We will arrange a call to discuss the event with you.

Your Voice Deserves to Be Heard.

Your Presence Deserves to Shine.  

During this learning and soul-uplifting experience, you’ll experience what we mean by radical self acceptance meeting authentic visibility, shedding the layers of uncertainty to experience owning your voice and space. You will discard old fears and claim your hidden power, safe among a tribe who understand your challenges and are walking the same path as you. In the divine setting of a magical mediterranean island.

And you will also get to take part in a cutting edge documentary film by award winning international filmmaker, Alex Gabbay (Beyond Men and Masculinity; The Price of Fairness; Love, Hate and Everything In Between) who will be capturing this once in a lifetime experience together. That means you’ll be fast tracking your growth to becoming confidently visible. All the while, you’ll be contributing to a global conversation about what it truly means to be authentic, to succeed and to thrive.

In-between, you’ll unwind amid the simple charms of the small Sicilian island of Ortigia, roam the quaint little streets, breathe in the beautiful mediterranean sea air, let your senses feast on the colours, scents, sounds and traditional sights of this UNESCO world heritage site that carries the remnants of its historical conquistadors: the ancient Greeks and Romans, Byzantines, Arabs and Spanish, as well as figures from our history books: Archimedes, Dionysis, Plato and Carvaggio. You will walk the same streets that felt the pounding of their footsteps and you will feel the potent energy of this unique location.

Escape everyday distractions and step into your authentic self, claiming your true voice while being part of a movement for real empowerment.

Our daily personal development sessions will consist of simple, yet empowering visibility exercises, throat chakra opening practises, vocal work, speaking techniques, mindset exercises, partner/group work and discussion. These will take place in both indoor and outdoor locations, taking advantage of the natural terrain. You’ll be encouraged to bring your pitches and speeches, real material you would like to get better at delivering. And you'll witness the emergence of your higher achieving identity in its wholeness, who can move forward with self-permission and reinforced belief towards the life you seek. 

 

 

In and around the learning sessions, there will opportunity to soak in the amazing sun drenched ambience of Ortigia surrounded by its captivating sea. As well as to enjoy other activities such as wine tasting, visiting historical sites and immersing your self in the surrounding culture. You may also wish to join evening social gatherings together. And there will be the option to join us for a farewell dinner on Wednesday 10th September at a beautiful local restaurant in the centre of the island.

A Snapshot of What You Experience: 

 

Release Your Voice and Empower Your Presence: 

  • Develop what I call Radical Self Acceptance: the courage to show up as the true you, letting go of the fears of what others think of you. Instead, discovering what it means to embrace your more authentic, Self, as an energy being, and how to feel grounded in the frequency of your own vibration. You’ll discover how to develop a self assured presence without feeling the pressure to perform as someone else during speaking events. Thus, learning to speak from your heart centre while achieving a deeper connection with your audiences. 

  • Discover how to unleash your unique voice and create memorable messages, using simple but effective story telling techniques so that audiences also easily “get” what you are saying. You will learn simple frameworks to help structure and remember what you want to say during your live talks and presentations.

  • Gain the confidence to be out there, as you; to be visible and audible in all areas of life, whether on video, in meetings or on stages.
