You’ve been trying to fit your visioning work in between client calls, and it’s not helping you move forward. You heard somewhere that the answer is “rest,” and although, yes, you may need approximately 600 naps to get back to baseline, what you’re looking for is open, free, unencumbered space to let your ideas land + form.
CTYNC facilitates TRUE rest — the brain, body, *and* business kind — that lets your mind settle so your ideas can come to the surface.

OWN THE VISION
Every retreat experience begins with biiiiiig vision work. This includes guided meditations, journaling, and group discussion, to encourage you to stretch your dreams beyond what feels reasonable, possible, or responsible, with a group who celebrates you in that.
This is where you start to feel SEEN, SUPPORTED, AND EXCITED – like maybe, actually, you *can* have a life you love and a business that lights you up.
You know all of those “I can’ts” or “I shouldn’ts” or “maybe for her but not for mes” that came up the minute you started thinking about those big dreams of yours? Yeah, we’re gonna shake that shit off and let that shit go.
This is where the mindset work comes in, with coaching and masterminding to release and reframe the beliefs that have been keeping you stuck in the same story.
We start in the woo, but we land in the work. This is where the vision becomes a strategy, with tangible steps to carry you over the next 6 months.
We coach you through the decisions you need to make to move forward, offer up the insight that will forge a more easeful path, and make sure you walk away with not just bigger dreams, but an ACTUAL PLAN to take ACTUAL ACTION towards ‘em.
“Being given so much space to savor and think and enjoy and REST unlocked things that have been laying quietly in wait in the corners of my brain for years now.”
and Finally having the space to choose what you WANT — from the big vision, to the small habits.
Freeing up capacity in your brain to think about the big picture without sweating the small stuff, with the little things like dishes, laundry, and meal prep taken off your plate.
Exploring new boundaries between your needs + the fulfillment of your business, with intentional time away from Slack, social, and email.
Learning in the context of a group, having questions answered that you didn’t even think to ask.
Arriving with “I don’t know what’s next” and entering into the time, space, and support system to explore what you desire and DECIDE what to pursue.

THIS IS WHERE YOU FIGURE OUT WHO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE, *AND* HOW TO BECOME THEM.
Up ‘til now, you’ve used your dreams as a way to DETACH from a STORY that doesn’t feel aligned. AT CTYNC, you'll turn them into a direction towards one that is.
"I never gave myself permission to
have slow mornings or intentional meals because I
felt like any time I had needed to be spent working,
but the retreat schedule showed me there’s so
much more room in my life to play, be productive
and socialize than I was letting myself have."

NEXT RETREAT EXPERIENCE: DECEMBER 9TH-13TH, 2024
THE EXPERIENCE IS INCREDIBLE, DUH... BUT THE REAL MAGIC IS THE WAY OUR GUESTS START SHOWING UP AFTER THEY LEAVE. CTYNC IS A CATALYST FOR MAKING BRAVER DECISIONS ONCE YOU LAND BACK HOME.
Everyone who attends a CTYNC retreat will have exclusive access to The Epilogue: live group coaching calls, a community Slack channel, and a growing archive of private podcast episodes.
THE EPILOGUE
01 / 04
SPEAKING OF LANDING BACK HOME – THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE DOESN’T END AFTER 4 DAYS.
Immediately following your CTYNC experience, you'll be invited to join a Slack group with the rest of our past guests, for day-to-day encouragement, feedback, accountability, and of course, celebration.
GROUP SLACK CHANNEL
03 / 04
As a CTYNC guest, you'll get exclusive access to our private podcast, "In the Margin," where we share monthly episodes on the BTS of our businesses and cover specific topics to support you, by request.
"The
retreat was the chance I never would have given
myself to really key in on what I want in my life and
business and then map out the literal steps to make
it a reality."
In the throes of keeping your clients happy, your bank account not-scary, and your household relatively un-chaotic, you’ve lost yourself a little bit. it happens – but it doesn't have to.
CTYNC is a full four days for you to focus on YOU. (But not in like, a silent meditation retreat kind of way). We create a spacious schedule for you to follow what feels good, so you’ll finally have a glimpse of what it feels like to nurture your dreams and yourself, building a business that sustains you, and not the other way around.
do it for the plot
“If you’re in the wrong story, write a new one” would literally be our catch-phrase if it wasn’t already, like, a famous quote. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to start a new chapter, CTYNC is where you’ll write it.
You wake up in a fluffy king size bed to an easeful morning, with plenty of time and space to start the day however you desire. You meet with 6 other inspiring business owners around the breakfast table, served a recipe thoughtfully chosen to ground + fuel you for the programming of the day.
You get cozy for a couple hours of group visioning, masterminding, and coaching conversations — from mindset to money to marketing, and everything in between. You move on to lunch as a group, to replenish, nourish, and let our earlier discussions simmer.
You head back to your cozy spot on the couch for few more hours, building on what we explored together in the morning sessions. From there, you have a spacious afternoon break to land in the work of the day, spend time with one another (or yourself), take a nap, read, or whatever else feels nourishing to you.
You get ready for the evening in your private bathroom, and then come out to reconnect with the group for a gorgeous dinner provided by our private chef, where we’ll engage in organic conversation to go deep or get giggly, depending on the mood of the group.
You will be strictly forbidden from helping us out in any way – no setting the table or tidying up. This is an invitation to fully receive, so don’t even think about taking that cup to the dishwasher. ;)

CLICK THE IMAGE FOR A real-time revieW of that post-retreat magic
We’re similar in that we’re both most at ease in deep conversation, believe that business gets to feel easy, hold a “come as you are” mentality and bring our human-ness into our work. We both describe ourselves as “tangible visionaries,” who can spend a whole Sunday daydreaming at a coffee shop and then arrive to our desk on Monday and actually make that shit real…

we can't wait to meet you, xx
WHEN WE SAY NO JUDGEMENT, WE SAY IT WITH OUR WHOLE CHEST
We are open books, and in our own transparency, vulnerability, and fallibility, we invite you to feel safe in showing up that way, too.
This is a women-led retreat, but our guest list is open + inclusive to anyone who isn’t a cisgender heterosexual man, essentially.
