Leadership Retreats

Step away from the noise, invest in yourself, and join other women leaders on a journey of growth, clarity, and connection. Dr. Kristine K. Medyanik curates transformative retreats that combine research-based strategies, practical tools, and authentic community. Whether you’re ready for a deep reset or a powerful one-day boost, there’s a retreat for you.

Who are they for?

Emerging and evolving leaders at various stages of their personal and professional development.

Leadership isn’t a title or a role. It’s about influencing the world around us in a positive way.

These Women’s retreats are designed for women who are interested in maximizing their leadership potential while also taking time out to reflect and recalibrate.

We’re women who want to achieve more and recognize when it may be time to hit the brakes.

People may arrive as strangers, but leave as friends.

Ready to Rise, Evolve, or Elevate?

Whether you’re looking for a once-a-year reset or a focused one-day boost, Dr. K’s retreats are designed to meet you where you are. Explore each option and choose the retreat that matches your leadership journey

Upcoming Events

The retreat was transformative. Wonderful energy, a fantastic circle of women coming together in leadership sisterhood. The circle began with opening up and sharing our vulnerabilities in leadership and ended with looking at the stories constructively with the aim of carrying over our lessons learned into our lives back home and businesses. Dr. K was able to inspire us to look past our past and help guide us into rediscovering our emotional intelligence and how to grow.

This leadership retreat was amazing. Valuable information and conversations. The length of the retreat was ideal for breaking down and understanding the content covered. The workbooks have been helpful in continuing to understand and apply the information. I 100% recommend this retreat for anyone open to growth in any area of their lives. I look forward to participating in more retreats in the future.

Beautiful accommodations, delicious food, valuable, helpful content! I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat from beginning to end. Kristine delivers the content in an interactive, non-judgmental atmosphere that was enjoyable. She provides practical application of the concepts so you can start applying them immediately. I highly recommend her retreats! Well worth the time and money!
