FOR WOMEN CURIOUS ABOUT BRINGING RETREATS & IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES INTO THEIR WORK
What if you actually did it?
A Live Preview of Sacred Space Stewardship™ ended. Explore enrollment below.
Come spend an hour with me and see how the pull to lead a retreat or immersive experience can become something real, clear, and entirely doable.
We’ll explore what it takes to design, fill, and truly hold a transformational gathering, and the new standard Sacred Space Stewardship™ is setting for retreat leadership.
The real currency of the future is authentic human-to-human connection.
In-person gatherings. Immersive experiences. Sacred containers strong enough to hold intensity, soft enough to invite honesty, and spacious enough for transformation to unfold.
People are choosing retreat experiences over traditional travel. From women’s circles to executive offsites, and from wellness retreats to creative immersions, the industry has exploded. And with that growth comes a greater need for spaces that feel intentional, cohesive, and responsibly led.
When retreats are held well, they don't feel heavy or fragile. They feel alive. Grounded. Surprisingly easeful.
The demand is here. The question is: Are you prepared to meet it?
Sacred Space Stewardship™ exists to set a new standard in retreat leadership, preparing women to design, lead, and sustain transformational experiences with the stewardship, capacity, and integrity this work requires.
COME EXPERIENCE THE WORK FOR YOURSELF
In this live 60-minute Preview, we'll explore:
• How to take the seed of an idea and begin turning it into a retreat or immersive experience people genuinely want to attend
• The difference between running a retreat and truly holding the room, and why that distinction changes everything
• What our founding cohort created, what's already working, and what they discovered about themselves as leaders along the way
• The Sacred Space Stewardship™ approach to designing, filling, and leading transformational experiences
• What the upcoming cohort looks like, including our four-day hands-on immersion in Santa Barbara and an intimate VIP dinner with Jack Canfield
Whether you already lead rooms, know you want to, or are only beginning to wonder what bringing people together could add to your work, you'll leave with a much clearer sense of what's possible and what it actually takes to do it well.
WHAT SACRED SPACE STEWARDSHIP IS
Sacred Space Stewardship is a professional training for women who want to facilitate multi-day retreats with nervous system capacity, business integrity, and embodied leadership.
It is a full-scope certification, from ideation and design to live facilitation, pricing, logistics, and implementation.
This training is not about adding more content. It's about learning how to hold transformational containers when real life shows up. Emotion. Uncertainty. Intensity. Beauty. Breakthrough.
Everything taught here comes from lived experience. From what worked. From what didn't. From what I wish I'd known sooner.
“This training didn't just teach me how to structure a retreat. It's deepened my knowing that this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Stewardship, to me now, means having awareness and doing what best serves everyone in the room, not just one person, but the whole group." — Emily Thiroux Threatt
You'll learn how to:
➤ Design, fill and lead your dream signature retreat with concept, curation, ritual, seasonality, timing, and transformational arc
➤ Build business systems that sustain you (pricing, contracts, logistics, and ethical sales)
➤ Facilitate live with practice, feedback, and real-time adjustments
➤ Navigate intensity, including rupture, repair, and unexpected dynamics
When stewardship is embodied, retreats stop feeling risky. They start feeling spacious and alive.

From our founding cohort…
-
Veronica Ramos-Clark, Executive Director of Fresh Start Counseling Services
“Everything is on track for my first retreat, Blooming in the Shadows, in Sedona. Our chef is locked in, seats are filling, and I couldn't be more excited to create this signature experience for women returning to themselves, built around wellness and sisterhood.”
-
Sylvie Horning, Certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Trainer
“I came in knowing how to run a successful workshop. I'm leaving knowing how to hold a room, and myself, at the same time. I'm more humble, and at the same time, a much stronger leader.”
-
Leighanne Champion, Life & Mindset Coach, CLC, CHC
“My retreat, Reflect, Refine, Reimagine, is happening this fall in my own home, and seats are already filling. What I’m carrying forward isn’t just a checklist, it’s the capacity to stay present, open-hearted, and respond to what each person actually needs. What a blessing to hold sacred space in this way.”
-
Emily Thiroux Threatt, Author and Host of the Grief & Happiness Podcast
“This training gave me the capacity to bring my life's work into the room in a real way. I'm carrying it into two retreats, one in Nevada and one on Maui, including the Grief and Happiness Retreat I'm co-creating with Amy Sullivan, a woman I met in this very training.”
-
Amy Sullivan, Business Management Analyst + Certified Sacred Space Steward™
“I'm a different person because of this training. I show up so much more regulated and even more present. We raised $15,000 in one day for military members and their families. This training had a lot to do with it.”
