Although a painting is an outcome and tool of this transformative retreat:
No artistic ability is needed to enjoy and be changed by the experience.
Join with other like-minded women and Internationally Certified Coach Joëlle Lydon to support your personal and professional growth as:
- Guided art sessions reveal your personal path to relational mastery.
- You explore how others’ expectations can both serve and sabotage the connection you deserve.

- Heart opening conversations reinforce that who you are truly matters.
- You share bountiful, delicious meals and socialize around the fire.

I don’t think I would have made it through the pandemic mentally without the many tools Joëlle provides. Not only did I have support through this crazy year, I also learned how to rest more regularly and more often. This behavior helped me to be a much better leader & helped me realize my team needs of more consistent rest. And guess what, so do I! Thank you Joëlle for helping me bring the unconscious-conscious. Thank you for being a beacon of light through this year. If you work with Joelle you will come out a better leader & just that much nicer to yourself as well.”

Working with Joëlle, I felt completely held and handled. She led with wisdom and love…There was a moment I doubted my ability to carry out the plan and she stood for me and showed me how possible my desires were. From working with Joelle… I feel the benefits and magic working on my life already!
Brenda Fredrickson
Coach
In my work with Joëlle, I was reminded of the sacred element of my work. With her intuitive style, where she channels the guidance she is being given, Joëlle honed right in on my need to create a sacred space for my writing and to stay in the imaginal realm while putting words to paper. I now sit at my cleared off, serenely arranged desk, with my sacred objects all around me to inspire my writing, and really sense the depth that the entire structure will allow me to reach with my writing.
