Healing Leaders: A Transformative Leadership Experience
April 3–6, 2025
Meditation & Mindfulness, On Land Retreats, Personal Transformation, Yoga, Wellness & Embodied Living
Program Description:
Explore how your unhealed trauma is impacting how you lead, live, and love. Whether you’re a leader in your family, community, or organization, your role and relationships can feel more easeful and aligned with your values when you take radical responsibility to heal the emotional pain that has gone untended for so long.
On this long weekend retreat, Kelly will invite you to go deeper with self-reflection, practicing vulnerability inside of a supportive container, transformative journaling prompts and more. Candis Fox will bring their financial wellness magic to the group to begin healing any wounding around money (i.e. power, pleasure, giving, and receiving). And Kristine will help you release stored emotion through the somatic practices of breathwork and Yin Yoga on program days.
Based on Kelly’s book, Heal to Lead, these trauma integration modalities are grounded in Buddhist psychology, mindfulness studies, neuroscience, epigenetics research, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and more. Together, we’ll correlate how your survival strategies have kept you both safe and small; you’ll reconnect to your innate wisdom and the healing power of community; and you’ll remember the gifts you are here to contribute.
Testimonials:
“It’s hard to put into words how profound an impact Kelly has had on me and my leadership. I feel she was born to do this work — uncovering what’s holding you back and then challenging you to be your best self. If you’re looking to become a more conscious leader, Kelly’s guidance is the best investment you can make.”
—Louis K.“Candis’ skills and savvy are not limited to the realm of money and they are sharp—like surgical precision soul healing. They are gifted in many domains, and I imagine that every person would bring out a different facet of the gifts that Candis brings to their work.”
– Kimberly C.
