Restore to Rise:
A leadership coaching retreat for purpose-driven women
Whether you’re a new leader craving confidence and clarity, or a seasoned executive seeking a break from the noise of constant demands - this weekend invites you to restore your sense of purpose through rest, reflection and inspiring community.
Spring 2027 dates will be announced soon
Berlin, Maryland - Assateague Island
Set on the quiet waters of Turville Creek in historic Berlin, Maryland, this immersive coaching retreat invites you to reconnect and realign with your truest self. In a time when the world feels heavy and the pace unrelenting, this is your space to pause and breathe deeply. You’ll recharge alongside a supportive group of women, with every detail thoughtfully curated to balance comfort and growth, learning and laughter, rest and adventure.
Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, rebuilding after a setback, longing for creative renewal, or worn down by the pace and pressure of leadership, this weekend will meet you where you are and help you step into your next chapter with clarity and conviction.
This retreat is for you if you’re feeling…
Pulled in too many directions and finding it hard to focus on your own priorities.
Worn down by the nonstop news cycle and the heaviness of the world.
Overwhelmed by a constant sense that you should be doing more, even when you’re running on empty.
Untethered from your creativity, your confidence, or your purpose.
Ready for a reset to center your voice and elevate your influence.
A craving for insight and inspiration from other powerhouse women leaders, within the grounding energy of nature.
Drawn toward a leadership development experience that invites personal growth through gentle inspiration.
This weekend will help you access inspiration and feel more connected to your inner wisdom. As you cut through the noise of overwhelm, burnout, and societal chaos, you’ll rediscover the quiet strength of your own intuition.
Grounded in a deeper understanding of your unique contribution to the world, you’ll confidently step into your next chapter.
You’ll leave with…
Greater clarity on your core values, identity, and intuition — and how to align them in your life and leadership.
Tools to navigate inner blocks, quiet your critic, and restore balance with authenticity and ease.
A renewed sense of calm, confidence, and purpose — supported by a community of women who will see and celebrate your growth long after the retreat ends.
Practices and mindset tools that help you carry your insights into the months that follow, so the reset you experience translates into lasting change.
Our weekend home is the Inn on Turville Creek, a quiet waterfront hideaway on the edge of Berlin, Maryland that balances luxury, eclectic charm, and a peaceful nature escape. The property has a Main House - a modern coastal farmhouse with cozy gathering spaces, a communal kitchen, and a grassy yard with firepit - complemented by adorable cottages with individual kitchenettes and waterfront porches.
As a group, we’ll gather in the Main House or around the firepit. For breakout sessions or individual reflection, participants will have access to the whole property - stargazing on the docks, sipping morning coffee waterside, or journaling at the picnic tables underneath looming evergreens. Our first morning together we’ll venture to nearby Assateague Island for an immersive sunrise ceremony along the stunning shoreline. From salty ocean air, to swaying marsh grasses, expansive evergreens, and the murmuring creek - you’ll find an exhale, and a reset.
Participants can select between a cozy bedroom in the Main House, or a charming cottage stay.
A glimpse into the weekend…
-
Friday: Arrive
Enjoy welcome drinks and charcuterie as you arrive and settle into the experience. Make new friends, explore the property, and relax into your first sunset across Turville Creek as we fire up the grill for a late night dinner, and gently shift into our first workshop, exploring identity and core values.
-
Saturday: Awaken
Bundle into your coziest winter clothes for a pre-dawn ceremony on the beach at Assateague Island, warmed by a blazing bonfire. Back at the property we’ll dive into coaching frameworks and introspective workshops to help illuminate inner blocks and clarify priorities. Close the day by leaning into luxury as our private chef arrives to prepare a candlelit dinner.
-
Sunday: Renew
Follow your body’s natural rhythm towards guided meditation on the dock, or a restorative morning of rest before enjoying a made-to-order chef’s brunch. Integrate weekend insights in our final workshop, and depart feeling lighter, more connected to your intuition, and ready to lead with renewed calm, courage, and conviction.
A note from your guides…
Hello and welcome — we’re so glad you’re here.
We’re Sofia and Corinne: friends, collaborators, and fellow travelers on this winding, courageous path of leadership. We met on the first day of our coach training at Georgetown’s Institute for Transformational Leadership and something just clicked — shared values, curiosity, a commitment to living with integrity and depth. Since then, we’ve continued to witness each other through big decisions, big risks, and the messy middle of growth.
When Sofia stepped away from a salaried leadership role to build a business rooted in creativity and purpose, Corinne was on the sidelines cheering her forward. And when federal workforce cuts forced Corinne into a season of uncertainty, Sofia was part of the steady community reminding her that leadership doesn’t end when the ground shifts — it evolves. This retreat is born out of that kind of care, clarity, and shared courage.
We’re inviting you into our friendship and our professional chemistry — the kind that makes space for depth and laughter, seriousness and play, reflection and joy. Over the weekend, we’ll build a community that is honest, brave, nourishing, and real. Together, we’ll slow down, listen inward, reconnect to vision, and remember the strength that comes from being witnessed and supported.
We believe deeply that the world needs your voice — not a polished or perfect one, but the one rooted in your truth. If you’re feeling the pull, we’d love to have you with us.
Warmly,
Sofia & Corinne
