SPARKED retreat EXPERIENCES

Sparked Retreat Experiences™ are designed for leaders, teams, and individuals ready to step out of the noise, reconnect to what matters, and return with clarity, alignment, and meaningful momentum.

This isn’t about stepping away. It’s about returning different.

Not another offsite…

A DIFFERENT WAY to think, connect, and lead.

Most retreats distance you from life and work.
The best ones change how you return to it.

Imagine stepping into a space where the pace slows, the noise quiets, and the conversations actually matter.
Where strategy isn’t rushed, connection isn’t surface-level, and insight has room to breathe.

This is where high performance meets deep reflection and true transformation.
Where we integrate mind, body, and spirit—not as an idea, but as an experience.

what makes retreats SO POWERFUL?

When we step outside of our everyday environments, something shifts.

  • We think more clearly

  • We listen more deeply — to each other and ourselves

  • We connect more honestly

  • We see new possibilities

By incorporating nature and somatic experiences, minimizing interruptions, and intentionally designing the environment, retreats create the conditions for real breakthroughs—not just good conversations and fun (because that’s important too).

what becomes POSSIBLE?

This isn’t about stepping away just to return the same.

After a Sparked Retreat Experience™, clients often walk away with:

  • Clarity where there was complexity

  • Alignment where there was friction

  • Energy where there was burnout

  • Connection where there was disconnection

  • Direction where there was uncertainty

And most importantly—the courage to move forward differently. They also walk away with deeper relationships, transformative learnings, and a new perspective on life and work.

a DIFFERENT kind of retreat

This is not your typical retreat.

  • Not just strategy—but the people behind the strategy

  • Not just wellbeing—but why you’re depleted in the first place

  • Not just connection—but real, honest dialogue (the hard conversations)

  • Not just inspiration—but clear action and follow-through

This is where we go beyond surface-level solutions and Instagram-able moments, to create meaningful, lasting change.

INVIGORATING, SOULFUL, and TRANSFORMATIVE.
I can’t give enough praise to Dr. Katie Sandoe and her retreat. I’m already excited for the next one! You won’t want to miss out on time invested in yourself with the most engaging host, Katie.

The Sparked Retreat Experience™ Framework

Every retreat is designed around a simple but powerful arc:

AWAKEN

Slow down. Step out. See clearly.

We create space to step out of autopilot, increase awareness (especially around habits of thinking and acting), and reconnect with what’s really going on—individually and collectively.

ALIGN

Reconnect to what matters.

We clarify priorities, strengthen relationships, and align around purpose, identity, and goals—whether that’s personal, team-based, or organizational.

ACTIVATE

Turn insight into meaningful action.

We translate reflection into decisions, direction, and next steps—so the experience carries forward long after the retreat ends.


For many retreats, I integrate my LIFE ON FIRE framework that helping individuals and teams reconnect to what energizes, sustains, and drives them.

SPARK
What lights you up purpose, roles, relationships, community

FUEL
What sustains you work, hobbies, learning, fun

OXYGEN
What creates space energy, wellbeing, environment

Because high performance without harmony and alignment isn’t sustainable
& success without meaning and fulfillment isn’t enough.

I had the opportunity to attend one of Katie’s sessions and it was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Her energy, insight, and authenticity created such a refreshing space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what really matters. I walked away feeling GROUNDED, INSPIRED, and EQUIPPED with practical tools to navigate the chaos with more confidence and calm. If you ever get the chance to join one of her sessions—do it. Truly uplifting and so worth it.

how we WORK TOGETHER

Every retreat is a collaborative process:

  1. Discovery & Visioning
    We clarify your goals, challenges, and desired outcomes.

  2. Co-Creation & Design
    I design a customized experience aligned to your people and purpose.

  3. Facilitation & Experience
    I guide the retreat with a balance of structure, flexibility, and presence.
