FIND YOUR STRIKE METHOD

An interactive workshop that will help you find your personal strike method so you will feel confident walking into any room, on any stage, or into any conversation. Your power is already inside you, and this class will help you uncover that.

EMBRACING TRANSITION AND RELEASING FEAR

Change is constant, and yet it is a certainty in all of our lives. This interactive speech and Q&A with Jenny Galluzzo, Co-founder of The Second Shift, will explore how to stop fearing times of transition and learn to embrace the opportunities that lie within these times in our lives. Whether you are thinking about starting a business, navigating your way through motherhood, or dreaming of moving on to try something new, this session will help you get excited about moments of uncertainty.

SCALE YOUR SKILL

Do you have an idea that you’ve always wanted to turn into a business? Do you wish that you could turn your passion into a side hustle? Do you feel like your business is stalling and you wish you could take it to the next level? In this session, participants will spend time with Lydia learning how to scale their skill; to stop thinking small and think big!

BUILDING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND

Your brand is the most important part of your career. In this workshop, we map out what you need to do to ensure that you’re in control of the narrative of your brand story.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU NEGOTIATE

This interactive workshop will teach you to get what you want in life and business. Every. Single. Time.

PUBLIC SPEAKING MASTERCLASS

LIVING WITH NO EXCUSES: THE REMARKABLE REBIRTH OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER
From his life-changing injuries in an IED explosion in Yusafiah, Iraq to foxtrotting his way to the finals in Dancing with The Stars, to his career as an inspirational speaker, hear from Noah Galloway himself about how he has persevered and lives with No Excuses.

BOOK INTRODUCTION
Join Noah for a candid discussion as he recounts his healing journey through the writing of his memoir, which was a personal turning point in his life. Each guest will receive a copy of his book during this meditative conversation.

MANIFESTING YOUR OWN LEGACY: GOAL SETTING & MEDITATION
Noah, and wife Amanda, guide you through this intention-setting workshop that will help you plot a course for your life and prepare you for creating and manifesting your legacy and self-evolution.

THE POWER OF SHARING YOUR STORY
What is your story? Dive deeper with Noah and his co-author Rebecca Angel Baer into the healing power of telling your story. Discover that YOU alone are the author of your life and only you get to decide what your next chapter will look like.

WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER
Explore thoughtfully crafted writing prompts to activate your creativity and inspire evolution from within.

TRAINING WITH NOAH GALLOWAY
Curated training sessions led by Noah Galloway are slotted on each day of the retreat. These sessions not only offer one-on-one personal training with Noah, but will inspire inner motivation and mental fortitude in all aspects of your life.

YOGA FOR EVOLUTION & CHANGE
Through the practice of yoga, we learn to tap into the spaces of our mind that are often inaccessible. Release energy that is no longer serving you, and say hello to the version of your life that you want to live in NOW.

DANCING WITH A STAR: INTUITIVE MOVEMENT
Intuitive movement expresses itself through various forms of free movement and stretching, with core teachings that may be translated through many aspects of life. This requires a willingness to be present with one’s self and feelings that rise to the surface.

HYDROTHERAPY & THERMAL SUITE
Contrast therapy, or alternating between hot, warm, and cold water, has long been used for its therapeutic benefits, boosting circulation and dilating the vascular system. Facilities include an indoor thermal suite with infrared sauna, dry sauna, aromatic steam room, experience shower and ice fountain, as well as three outdoor, contrasting saltwater plunge pools.

SOUND MEDITATION: SACRED SOUND JOURNEY
A multi-sensory experience that weaves together vibrational frequencies from tuning forks, gongs and Himalayan and crystal bowls to restore balance within.
