The Envision Retreat is a transformative day tailored for entrepreneurs, self-starters, and aspiring high achievers in a serene luxury environment.

what to expect

Are you a passionate professional, but feeling stuck in the daily grind? Are you determined to achieve your goals, seek self-improvement, want to reignite your passion and find gratitude in making progress? Do you find yourself battling with your spouse or business partner on the details that define the bigger picture

Join us in this scheduled and structured time dedicated to removing distractions in order to follow a repeatable process of defining what’s most important, setting goals, and reimagining the life you want! Throughout the day you’ll hear from female entrepreneurs who have envisioned their future and made those dreams a reality! Learn what vision casting is and put it into practice making your own vision board.

Attendees will spend time hearing from the hosts’ presentations as a group, spending alone time reflecting and doing the work, and have opportunities for small group discussions. Each attendee will also have time with the hosts to receive feedback and mentorship throughout the day. Introverts and extroverts alike will have opportunities to flourish and grow!

Returning as an Envision Alum? We have new prompts for you to continue expanding and enriching your Vision Casting! But don’t worry – if you want to attend the “newbie” programming you can do that too to soak up more of the training and exercises to help you deepen your understanding.

101: Reflect & Dream

Vision Casting is the practice of stepping away from the pressures of everyday life to recover, reconnect, and reimagine your goals and dreams. Learn from local vision casting expert Krista Kippenberger, author of A Vision and Growth Mindset as she shares how vision casting revolutionized the approach she and husband Curt took in their  family chiropractic business and later her insurance agency.

102: What if Life Changes?

Just as we change from season to season, so can our goals. Hear from life-long entrepreneur Sarah Shorthose about her pivot and redirection after reaching a major milestone in her photography business when her family approached her about needing to make a change. See firsthand how change is not the death of one dream, but the birth of another.

Bringing your dreams to life requires persistance and focus. Learn how crafting a vision board increases your likelihood of reaching your goals from the artsy entrepreneur Marie Newell.

No artsy experience necessary—we’ll have everything you need to tap into your creative side!

The Whole Group

The January retreat was absolutely more than I expected. It was well planned out and clearly driven by the passion and motivations of the hosts. I also loved the connections made and being able to continue with the monthly mastermind group! It is inspiring and motivating jumping on those calls!

what others say

I thoroughly enjoyed the Envision Retreat. I thought the presenting team did a fantastic job of not only providing relevant and helpful suggestions but also strategically building in time to quietly sit and digest the information and actively start planning for the upcoming year. My favorite part was breaking into small groups and having our facilitator really help us push past what we considered probable to really imagine what might be possible. Having the guided facilitator to help us push on our goals (by imaging where and who we want to be in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 25+ years) helped take the Envision Retreat experience to the next level and really helped to set this event apart! I highly encourage entrepreneurs to attend in future years.
