how to come
Stay the full weekend, or join us just for Saturday. Saturday is the whole retreat in a day.

The thinking behind the weekend

Heart first. Then the plan.

This isn't a rigid business plan. We look at the year ahead through three lenses, personal, professional, and SPARK, and turn big hopes into a few real, doable moves.

1

Your North Star

Your vision for 2027. Where you want to be, and how you want to feel when you get there.

2

Seasonal Sparks

A handful of real priorities for each season. Specific, and finishable within it.

3

First Moves

The first small, dated step that actually gets each Spark moving. No someday.

4

Commit and Connect

Say it out loud, pick a Circle buddy, and keep each other going all year.

Before you arrive

Sit with three things: one part of life that feels scattered, what would make 2027 great, and how you want to feel a year from now.

And bring your favorite non-fiction book. We're launching something fun around it.

Come for the full weekend, or just Saturday, the heart of it all.

Spots are limited. If you've been invited, let Julie or Joannie know soon so we can save your place.
