A one-day transformational women’s retreat in Denver.
Release what no longer fits. Step into what’s next.
If you’re searching for an experience that blends self-awareness, growth, and meaningful connection — this is your invitation.
The Unbecoming Experience is a one-day transformational women’s retreat that offers guided reflection, expert speakers, grounded self-awareness, honest dialogue, and intentional connection.
At the event, you’ll be supported in releasing old narratives and reconnecting with what’s possible, and to move past what is holding you back and step into what’s ready to unfold, in life and in leadership.
Renewed energy
Deeper trust in yourself & your decisions
Practical tools to support clearer decisions & healthier boundaries
Curated connections with other bold, thoughtful women
A clearer vision for your next season
What you’ll carry forward …
You’re navigating a career or life transition
You’re experiencing burnout or decision fatigue
You’re craving time for YOU
You’re craving deeper connection
You’ve never met a personal assessment you didn’t like, and you want to learn more about your Enneagram
You love events, but you don’t want fluff - you want meaningful content & grounding energy
You belong in this room if …
“I’m not becoming someone else. I’m unbecoming what I’m not.”
Unbecoming
The courageous act of releasing the roles, expectations & narratives that no longer fit who you are today.
Becoming
Reconnecting with your inner compass & moving forward with clarity & trust.
Why this? Why now?
If you’re reading this, something inside you is nudging you - even if you’re not ready to say it out loud.
So many women are holding it all together on the outside, while quietly struggling or carrying more than anyone realizes.
Maybe you feel tired, misaligned, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns & you know you’re ready for a shift.
The pace you’ve been keeping feels unsustainable.
The Unbecoming Experience is a pause point. A space to release what no longer fits & realign with what’s true in this season.
A restorative sound bath to help you land & reset
Expert-led conversations on identity & alignment
An Enneagram workshop & personalized profile
Guided reflection & journaling
Small-group connection experiences (no awkward networking)
A curated retreat-style environment that is grounded in reflection and growth
An elevated Happy Hour experience to close & celebrate the day
What’s inside the experience …

As part of the experience, you’ll receive your personalized Enneagram profile and be guided through a workshop to help you understand your patterns, motivations, and opportunities for growth. The Enneagram is a personality framework that describes nine different ways of moving through the world. It helps you understand the deeper motivations behind why you instinctively think, feel, and act the way you do. Through this lens, you can recognize unconscious patterns and begin choosing more intentional, aligned responses.
