Pulled in too many directions and finding it hard to focus on your own priorities.

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.
You’ll leave with…
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.

Friday: Arrive

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.
This is a new professional partnership for us, and it’s a labor of love. For this pilot journey, we’re offering the retreat at cost. It’s our way of meeting the moment — investing in women leaders who are navigating a world that can feel chaotic, heavy, and confusing, yet are still choosing to lead with purpose, creativity, and heart. 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
