Realign & Recharge Retreat

• Retreat Impact: Hosted by best-selling author, Something Major Founder, and certified women’s leadership coach, Randi Braun, we're thrilled to be back at The Ritz-Carlton for an experience that past attendees have described as "absolutely perfect," "transformational" and "exactly what I needed."

• Theme: Our retreat will focus on the topic of Escaping The Exhaustion Trap, workshopping some of the most popular content from her WSJ-best-selling book, Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work. Read more about our agenda below.

AM: Realigning Mind & Body

• Coffee & Connect: We'll begin the day with an opportunity to network with other women over coffee and light refreshments.

• Welcome & Escaping the Exhaustion Trap Workshop by Randi Braun: We are so good at crushing other people's goals but, too often, high-performing women feel crushed in the process... That's why this workshop will equip women with the tools to overcome exhaustion. This workshop is not about teaching participants to drink green juice or just turn their phones off: you will leave with real skills and tools (that Randi uses with her real coaching clients) to reimagine your relationship to your priorities, stakeholders, and to-do list -- maintaining excellence, while minimizing exhaustion.

• Nourishing Vinyasa Flow Yoga: After realigning our minds, we’ll realign our body with a nourishing vinyasa flow yoga class. This class is suitable for all levels.

PM: Recharging Our Spirit

• Networking Lunch: To recharge our spirits, following yoga we’ll sit down for a delicious networking lunch.

• Completion Workshop: We'll end the day with a final completion workshop and closing remarks from Randi.

Attire: Keeping it casual and relaxed, leggings/yoga clothes are required. Ponytails are not required, but strongly encouraged.

Cost: $995/person
