One power-packed weekend is about to change your life. Registration open now. Sign up today.
It’s an intensive 4-day personal reboot where you can fill your mind with life-changing ideas and inspiration, get back in your body, and connect with hungry women just like you who remind you what you’re really all about.
We’re coming together to be inspired, to have sunrise dance parties and afternoon yoga, to drink wine and have big talks, to help each other go after what we want.
In one supercharged weekend we’ll laugh, cry, dance, swim, heal and make plans for an unforgettable 2016. It will be held in one of the world’s most beautiful settings in the heart of the California wine country
Because all it takes is one woman who feels good in her skin and is clear about who she is to ignite everyone around her. She injects the world with possibility, growth, and change. And right now, the world needs that. Big time. - Cherie Healey
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll learn a framework that will help you embody your Highest Self and live in the flow – that zone that everyone covets. Principles that will be yours to keep yourself in full alignment from the inside out, for good.
You’ll discover and claim your “original medicine,” the gifts and talents that you and you alone possess with renowned Master Teacher Gail Larsen. You’ll also practice with globally sought after yoga teacher Kenny Graham, and sweat with Cynthia Healey, founder of Dance Empowered.
The truth is that we want to see how far we can go in life, we want to experience and taste everything that life has to offer. We want to know how we can be our best selves and look back on our lives and say we packed it in and lived it well.
The solution is simple. We need to take time out every now and then to remember who we are and what we want. We need the tools to face fear and the things that hold us back… and we need each other.
We have to surround ourselves with people, like-spirited people, who are willing to cheer for us when we walk in the arena, who are willing to pick us up when we get our butts kicked, who are willing to remind us that we’re enough. - Brene Brown
Learn how to keep yourself turned on and tapped in for good.
Each session will teach you what it takes to be the most powerful woman you are here to be and manifest the life you love.
We are amazing women, defying the norm, trying to “have it all”. Juggling the demands of our big lives, we are at risk for burnout, overwhelm and that unfulfilled feeling of never being able to get ahead and enjoy life.
We want to “be”, not just “do”, to find that sweet spot when we can flow with whatever comes our way. We want to be the best version of ourselves at home and at work. You’re going to learn how.
In each session we explore one of the 8 steps you’ll use to live in the state of flow. Centered and grounded in who you are, you’ll be able to tune yourself up, course correcting moment to moment, like you’re a chiropractor for your own soul.
When we can tune ourselves up, we can stay in alignment – the way we feel coming off the yoga mat or out of a deep meditation. Then we have access to conscious choice, in other words, our best selves. We break the reactive cycle and stay in our power, entering the zone – the flow that everyone covets. We have access to a never-ending supply of energy, to our intuition and to the teacher within. Then we can tune out the noise and the opinions of others and truly go after what WE want.
Unlike most retreats and workshops where you’ll sit and take notes, listening to speakers all day. We’ll be having big talks as a big group about these 8 Principles. We’ll break them down and learn from each other. Together we will overcome whatever obstacle stands in our way. You’ll leave with a Framework that will have you embody your Highest Self and live in the flow for good.
This is not your typical workshop. You’ll sweat and you’ll drink wine. You won’t just take notes, you’ll make changes on the spot. You’ll dig deep and you’ll have a damn good time. We're ready for something new. This is it. Cherie Healey
We’re gathering 50 amazing women to MAKE 2016 and
every year that follows the best ones yet.
We believe that anything is possible. And we know you do too.
And yet we all have so little time.
We’re juggling work, family and friends, trying to be great at everything
we do, and many days we’re last on our own lists.
So how do you take care of everyone AND you? How do you pack it all in,
do your best work and not burn out?
How do you play your edge, make a difference and
enjoy the hell out of your life?
How do you face your biggest fears, overcome obstacles and
become the woman you’re here to be?
How do you live a life that makes you happy and feel loved?
After 10 years of coaching hungry women just like you, one thing is for sure:
you’re all facing the same challenges, rising up to the same fears, and if you could just find each other, everything would change.
You’d show each other how it’s done. Remind each other what you’ve made of. And your obstacles wouldn’t stand a chance.
We find ourselves feeling like the lone wolf a lot of the time. We’re out there writing the rules, making it up as we go along and there’s nothing more powerful than meeting someone who gets it. If you’re searching for your people, you’ll find them here.
We’re seekers, always looking for a fresh perspective or a new strategy to overcome obstacles and make our visions real. Curated conversations on topics like, Original Medicine, Ultimate Purpose, Desires and more will have you tap into your Highest Self and come home a new, more centered, grounded woman.
This is the part that makes us magic. We know how to have a damn good time and we know we can’t be who we are without it. Sunrise dance, spa treatments, yoga, wine tasting and pedicab rides to adventures we’re holding secret will have you checking off your bucket list. Big time.

I listen for who you are, and that is what you will get, a snapshot of who you inherently are, caught in time, to last you a lifetime.
I created SHE Photography out of a love for women, their hearts, their passion and their beauty. I am inspired by and inspire women! It is my purpose to bring forth and capture the essential strength and beauty intrinsic to every woman.
I am in constant celebration of women, through my love for the feminine and through the art of photography I create a transformational experience for my clients. I seeks to record a true testament of ones unique beauty with my photos, allowing each woman’s quintessence to emerge; I offer not only images that are beautifully composed and exquisitely crafted, but also an opportunity to capture who and what women are and what they stand for, what matters to them and how they wish to present themselves to the world.
Photography Is The Art Of Observation. It Has Little To Do With The Things You See And Everything To Do With The Way You See Them.
Understanding the women I work with is key to capturing their true essence through the lens. In both the business + personal realm, I am committed to capturing more than a face or a smile, but visually communicating that person’s character through my work. I would love to document your true essence during time of transformation, self-care and empowerment! Mini-Sessions will be available Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning (30-45 Minutes). I will make sure your radiant personality shines through in the photographs, and deliver polished images on a private website (with instant download to your computer).

Q. What time will we start on Thursday and end on Sunday so I can make my travel plans?
A. The event will be held from 2:00 PM on Thursday to roughly 1:00-2:00 PM on Sunday.
Q. Can I stay somewhere else in Sonoma?
A. When you register we book your room at the Lodge at Sonoma. The registration cost does not include the cost of the room, an extra $269/night. We are asking everyone to stay together on the property for many reasons. There will be early morning activities and the need to change/refresh between sessions. So you can get the most out of your weekend, we’re banning stress and rushing. We don’t want you to have to worry about parking and the clock. You should also be able to midnight swim if you want.
Q. I’d like to share a room with someone – can you help me find a roommate?
A. Yes! We will ask you when you register if you would like us to find you a roommate and we will do our best to find you one!
Q. Will there be time to explore Sonoma?
A. Yes! We will be having events all over the world and it’s important to us that you get to explore every beautiful place we visit and get to know the amazing women around you. You will have time in the late afternoon and evening on a couple of nights to explore. We’ll also have a very special celebration in Sonoma on Sunday.
Q. I’ve done so many workshops and retreats, how is this one going to be different?
A. Join the club! We’re workshop junkies. We’re cooking up a very intimate, unique experience. In fact, here are eight reasons why this one is pretty special:
1. You’re getting in on the ground floor of a movement that will change the world.
2. It’s for women only at a time when many of us are feeling very alone and searching for like-minded people.
3. It’s deeply experiential. You’re not going to sit back and listen to a series of speakers who are going to sell you things. You’ll be guided through a deep transformation, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
4. You get to work with Gail Larsen! Unprecedented. She only works with people in small exclusive groups of six, 4 times each year. This is the first time she’s offered her Original Medicine work in this way.
5. Kenny Graham.
6. There will be a diverse and powerful panel of healers who will be with us throughout the weekend to support you in removing the blocks that stand in your way.
7. Did we mention wine tasting? In Sonoma?
8. You will leave with a formula that will allow you to course correct from deep within for the rest of your life. You already have everything you need, we’re just going to remind you and give you the tools to access your own power from now on.
Q. I don’t dance and I don’t do Yoga.
A. Don’t worry. This weekend is about getting you to a place of deep comfort in your skin. We are not coming together to be perfect – just the opposite. You are totally free to participate in any way that feels good to you. Pull up a chair and watch, dance in the back, just soak up the music or meditate. Maybe your fears will just melt away…
Q. I’m concerned about my dancing ability
A. Throw away any fears or beliefs you have about your dance ability and come sweat in a way that will change your life. More than just a dance class, it is an alchemical process for dancers of all ability and experience. Cynthia encourages each individual to move in a way that expresses their deepest self. You can follow her choreography or move however you want to move. The music is irresistible and no matter what your experience is with dance, you’ll be hooked.
Q. How much will it cost?
A. $1725.00 for the retreat, plus lodging ($269.00 per night plus $20 resort fee for 3 nights. Shared accommodations are available upon availability). Additional costs may include: dinner, travel, transportation to and from the venue, additional spa and healer treatments and other related travel expenses.
Q. I’d really like to go, but I’m not sure I can afford it right now.
A. Close your eyes and ask yourself if now is the right time? When you imagine coming, what does your body tell you? If you really want it, you can make it happen. Get creative. Think about who might help you with the tuition. What value could you provide for someone else who would gladly give you the money? What will be possible in your life if you have the skills and tools to step into your power and be who you are here to be?
If now is not the time, we will be doing more events next year. Locations will be announced in January.
Q. What time will we start on Thursday and end on Sunday so I can make my travel plans?
A. The event will be held from 2:00 PM on Thursday to roughly 1:00-2:00 PM on Sunday.
Q. Can I stay somewhere else in Sonoma?
A. When you register we book your room at the Lodge at Sonoma. The registration cost does not include the cost of the room, an extra $269/night. We are asking everyone to stay together on the property for many reasons. There will be early morning activities and the need to change/refresh between sessions.

Fear, lack of support, money, time . . . there are always plenty of reasons to stay home, keep at it and not take time out for you.
But at what cost?
Here’s the truth.
If you don’t have the money, that’s exactly why you should come.
If you don’t have the time, that’s exactly why you should come.
If you’re having a hard time balancing family and work, that’s exactly why you should come.
If you have a lot of people who need you, that’s exactly why you should come.
Life is short. This one weekend will be a turning point in your life.
Your family, your co-workers and your BANK will thank you.
What it would take months of coaching and healing sessions to do, we’re going to do in just one weekend.
Whatever your next level is, whatever you crave – whether it’s just to slow down and enjoy life more or to launch a non-profit that will save lives – it doesn’t matter.
If you still happen to be reading this page,
chances are this event is for you.
