Virtual Business Retreat October 17 - 21, 2016
|
5 days of planning, dreaming and visualizing in community! Find clarity around what your business can be, and what your next best steps will be! All in do-able 3 hours chunks that still leave plenty of time in your day to get other work done! We'll journal, collage, walk in Nature with your business, and when the week is out, I'll walk you through how to perform a dedication ceremony designed specifically for your beloved business. |
Hey there, small business owner. Do you sometimes feel demoralized, ineffectual and exhausted in the work you love?
You’re not alone… A bunch of us heart-centered, creative-leaning, business folks also strive to balance our tiny, precious businesses with our external life.
We all know the challenge of finding time for your business, while trying to balance between family, life, and self-care. And taking valuable time away from working IN your business to work ON your business (to plan, to dream, to visualize…) can feel damn near impossible.
It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Clarity and direction can be doable! Days where you sit down at your desk knowing where to start – days where you enter into flow like a state of grace – can be yours!

"Deborah’s Virtual Retreat process provides a helpful structure for anyone going through a transition in life. How many times have you bought a book that claims to turn your life around, only to let it gather dust?
Not with this retreat! The questions, prompts, and activities are open-ended enough to let you customize your experience so that it’s perfect for you. The process is fun and liberating, and the insights will surprise and delight you." - Gayle Starker |
All you need is a little guidance, some structure and the support of a community of like-minded (like-hearted) women at your back. Once you engage those simple keys you can easily figure out what your next best steps are.
And that’s where the Virtual Business Retreat comes in!
Over the course of five consecutive days in May, you’ll receive emails with teaching points, recommended exercises and various prompts to get you stated. We’ll use “sandwich calls” to get started each morning and build our sense of community.
Then, armed with a plan on getting started, we’ll work for 2+ hours. When work time is up we’ll call back in to celebrate any and all forward movement, and lock in the learning!
During our time together we’ll use a wide range of techniques for different kinds of learning styles from concrete to visual to crafty. You’ll be given loads of prompts – quality questions – to inspire you and get you engaged. Activities like journaling, collage work, and brainstorming will give you a more creative, “bigger picture” way of looking at what your next best steps might be. Even the most concrete thinker (the “oh, I’m not crafty” folks) will find worth in the exercises.

I am navigating my way through my second act and Deb’s Virtual Business Retreats have really helped me to discover my own path in a very concrete manner.
She is professional, motivating, warm and reassuring. The work sessions are unbelievably helpful, on both a personal and professional level...which happen to be very intertwined for me! I always close the week with a fresh set of goals and a brand new perspective…and a few new friends. Fabulous!
