Clarity Retreats

Clarity Retreat

Refresh, Reset & Reboot

Clarity Retreats offers a tranquil and enriching experience tailored for self-employed professionals, business owners, and life partners on the verge of a new life phase. With guidance from Frances, an experienced SME coach, the retreat blends structured and self-directed inquiry, providing participants with a curated guide in both digital and print formats. The daily kitchen table chats foster reflection, sharing insights, and identifying next steps for personal and professional growth.

 

The retreat is held at the Suite Retreat, a private and cozy suite perched atop a hill with panoramic views of Lake Erie. Participants can enjoy easy access to Little Beach and the local village. The suite is well-equipped with modern amenities, including an electric fireplace, Wi-Fi, a full kitchen, a hot tub, and outdoor features like a propane fire pit and barbecue. Essential pantry items are provided, and the first morning’s self-catered breakfast includes fresh fruit and frittata.

 

Set against the serene backdrop of Port Stanley, this retreat encourages participants to disconnect from rigid goals and open themselves to new possibilities. The combination of nature’s splendour and personalized coaching creates an environment ideal for reflection, planning, and decompression.

 

Clarity comes from introspective reflection, reviewing life experiences, and understanding our intentions, helping us recognize opportunities aligned with our goals. We believe that by practicing our ideal future, we create it. Life changes lead to transitions, and Clarity Retreats guide individuals in crafting their next chapter through self-directed inquiry, fostering personal insights and renewed purpose. Immersion in nature and the present moment inspires possibilities, confidence, and ‘Aha’ moments.

The three Clarity Retreats emphasize introspective questioning—factual, emotional, and purpose-driven—to promote reflection and self-awareness. Time away from the everyday provides clarity.

 

Personal manifestos and vision boards are tools for shaping your future. A vision board visually represents your ideal day, while a personal manifesto identifies core values that guide decisions. Together, they clarify your purpose. A traction plan outlines actionable steps to turn intentions into reality, focusing on the key actions that drive progress toward your best future.
