A luxury spa experience for your mind
Even the most successful leaders face life transitions that require deeper support and intention. While navigating change might come naturally in some areas, true transformation often requires stepping outside your routine. Our retreats offer an intimate, innovative experience designed to help you shed old patterns and embrace new growth. With a skilled team of facilitators, we provide a holistic approach to mental and emotional wellness, guiding you through lasting personal change.
Shedding Your Conditioning NOVEMBER 7TH -10TH 2024
We call this experience Shedding Your Conditioning. Timed to coincide with the falling leaves, Shedding Your Conditioning focuses on shedding old patterns and embracing new beginnings. We provide an intimate and innovative experience that begins weeks before our physical time together on retreat. Our pilot program this fall is specially designed to shift the paradigm of wellness retreats in favor of imprinting lasting change.
Your journey begins the moment you commit, with a week of preparatory work to get clear on where you’re at and your goals for the future. This includes one-on-one coaching with your facilitators and time connecting with the group. We then come together as the leaves fall to let go, welcome in, and begin the repatterning process. Two weeks of potent integration time follow—where we cement our work on retreat, further engraining all we are calling in and who we are becoming.
Limited Spaces Available.
ABOUT SOLII
At Solii, the Shedding Your Conditioning retreat is deeply connected to my personal journey of breaking free from societal expectations and rediscovering my true purpose. After years in the high-pressure world of tech sales, I felt unfulfilled and disconnected from the deeper meaning I was seeking in life. This led me on a path of self-discovery, where I found that true fulfillment comes from aligning with your authentic self and shedding the layers of conditioning that keep you trapped.
Through transformative practices like meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and psychedelic guidance, I realized that we all have unique gifts waiting to be uncovered. Now, I help others navigate this journey, creating a space for them to release old patterns, embrace their true purpose, and find fulfillment in a world where technology is shifting the landscape. This retreat is an opportunity to step into your power and create a life of meaning, guided by your soul’s true calling.
Hosted in beautiful Stowe, Vermont, as the leaves fall. Shedding Your Conditioning is a transformational retreat experience focused on shedding old patterns and embracing new beginnings.
Let the season inspire your truest nature.
