Tap into the guidance of your internal knowing and wisdom

Attune to the deeper calling of your heart and your purpose

Stand authentically in your inner knowing as a powerful leader

This intimate and impactful retreat is for you if you…

  • Can feel the quiet callings of something deeper asking for your attention and your energy.

  • Find yourself wondering, “Is this all there is?” or “What’s truly next?”

  • Have no idea what’s next, but can feel that it isn’t just more of the same.

  • Are clear on what is next for you and would like the support of a community of like-minded women.

  • Do not consider yourself a leader, but always seem to find yourself in positions where you are helping or serving others in your family, community, or organization without taking time or space for yourself or your dreams.

  • Are, or have been, a leader in your community, organization or world and are wondering how you want to serve next from a place of greater authenticity and heart-centered impact.

If you are ready to…

  • Slow way down and step back from the busy, everydayness of your life and work.

  • Relax into the pace of the natural world - the gentle cadence the rising and setting of the sun, the progression of the changing seasons, and the migrational ebb and flow of native wildlife.

  • Reconnect with yourself on all levels - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

  • Reclaim the courage of your heart and your spirit.

  • Remember how to trust yourself.

  • Attune to what is wanting to emerge in you and in your life.

Who are you?
And more importantly, who do you want to become next?

Introducing

Leading Women – Coming Home to Your Deeper Purpose

You are an amazing and inspiring woman. Through focus, effort, and commitment, you have created an exceptional level of success, abundance and/or service in your life and your world. And yet, beneath the surface, you intuitively sense that there is something else. Something deeper for you and for your life.

Maybe you don’t quite know what it is yet, but you can feel it whispering to you from the quiet corners of your life. Or maybe you have clarity on the destination, but can't yet see the path. Or perhaps, you have certainty but would love the support of community as you begin to move along your journey to what is next and who you will become.

This retreat is a sacred container to hold you in your metamorphosis between who you have been and who you truly want to be. It is an opportunity to come home to your body, your heart and soul. And to envision where you feel truly called to move next in your life and who you will be.

A Longing for Belonging &
A Call to Deeper Purpose

Our world today asks a lot of us. It can be demanding, intellectually as well as physically. We have jobs and careers, families and partners, as well as communities and causes we believe in. Not to mention our goals and dreams.

Additionally, we as women, are often asked to bear the emotional labor for our families, our teams, our communities, and our organizations. Between the doing and the caring, we have had to make choices. Some of these choices have been made with intentionality, with thought, and care. Some have been made out of necessity or in the moment. But all of these choices, from the largest to the smallest, have had an impact on

our lives. And on our minds, bodies, hearts, and souls.

The Coming Home to Your Deeper Purpose retreat is an opportunity to acknowledge, to own, or to let go of the impact of those choices - the joys, the challenges, and the heartbreaks - in order to create space for what you would like to create next in your life. It is an invitation to step into the transition point between what has been before and what it is next. It's an intentional pause in the story of your life. An opportunity for you to reread the story, to share the gifts and the sorrows of it, and to choose how you want to write the rest of your story.

Leading Women – Coming Home to Your Deeper Purpose

is an intimate and deeply transformational 3 ½ day retreat in the Husdon River Valley in Upstate New York. It is an opportunity to engage in conversation with like-minded women about all that you have created and built, and about the costs - both known and hidden - that you have paid to get to where you are. As well as the lessons, both graceful and challenging, that you have encountered on the way.

It is an opportunity for a reset. To pause and come home to yourself. To reconnect with the versions and parts of yourself you may have put aside or discarded in your journey to where you are. And to connect with that place of inner calm so that you can more clearly attune to where and what you are being called to next. And to who you are being called to become.

This is an opportunity to reconnect with what it means to you to be a woman and a leader at this time.

And to support one another in stepping forward into our individual and collective visions of ourselves, our purpose, and our world.

In This Intimate 3 1/2 Day Retreat,You Will…

  • Engage in Conversation

    Engage in the intimacy of the essential conversation with yourself, your heart, and your soul.

  • Share and Witness

    Share what it means to be a woman in our world by bearing witness to all you have encountered on your journey, and our collective one.

  • Honor Experiences

    Honor how your experiences have served you and helped to shape who you are, and who you want to become.

  • Release Judgements

    Uncover and release the inner voice that tells you, after all you have done and accomplished, that still you aren’t enough.

  • Allow Creative Inspiration

    Allow space for intuition to initiate creative inspiration within you, and to guide your vision of what’s next.

  • Reclaim Leadership

    Reclaim your natural power, presence, instinct, and artistry as a leader, in your life and in the world.

This curated retreat experience will include

  • Healing modalities of nature, poetry, yoga, movement, sound, music, and more!

  • Rituals to honor your journey, your accomplishments and your losses.

  • Practices to reconnect with yourself and with the world around you.

  • Time in nature - hiking, relaxing, disconnecting, and reconnecting.

  • Space for connection and sharing, as well as reflection and contemplation.

  • "I participated in a virtual group workshop on work/life integration that Stacia led through the Women's Leadership organization at HPE. I signed up, because at the time, I was working fulltime and attending grad school, so my schedule was pretty full. The group was very informative, and the discussions and small groups were helpful in allowing me to explore the topics in the context of my own life. I came away with several excellent tools for managing my time, and my mindset. Stacia distills things down so they are easy to understand and apply. Additionally, she not only understands the experience of women in the workplace, she has valuable insight and tools to offer as well."

About your guide

I’m Stacia Topping

RELATIONAL LEADERSHIP COACH

Stacia has spent 20+ years working in the high-tech world in Silicon Valley. She is familiar with the successes, and the challenges and heartbreaks, that women in this and other industries face along the course of their careers. She has firsthand experience with how exhaustion, overwhelm, burnout, lack of motivation (and direction) can sideline your focus, energy, enthusiasm, and your dreams.

Having spent the past 20 years immersed in personal growth work, including the study of the psychology and neuroscience of success, relationship, and leadership and earning a second Master’s in Spiritual Psychology with a concentration in Consciousness, Health and Healing, Stacia is committed to supporting women in transforming their lives, their leadership, and our world.

Through her own journey on this path, she has identified what works (and what doesn’t) in creating what we truly want in life. And in attuning to where we are truly called to serve, from the depths of our hearts and our souls.

Why This Retreat and Why Now?

In a culture relatively devoid of ritual or rites of passage, this retreat provides an opportunity for us, as women, to come together in community and share the wisdom, the triumph, and the heartbreak of our stories so that we can learn, heal, and begin to move move toward what is next. After all that has occurred and continues to occur in our lives and in the world, it is an invitation to come back to

ourselves, to reconnect with our dreams, and the core essence of who we truly are, so that we can begin to move toward what is next from a place of inner calm and peace. It is an opportunity to be witnessed for what we have accomplished, who we have been, for who we are becoming, and what we are creating.
