The Experience: What To Expect During The Retreat

 

 Every element of Quiet Power is intentionally curated to awaken clarity, deepen connection, and support purposeful transition.


Quiet Power 2.0 is a thoughtfully curated, two-day retreat designed for leaders navigating the space between what was and what’s next.


Set within the quiet elegance of Wellspring Manor & Spa, the experience offers a safe and supportive environment for deep reflection and self-discovery. Through guided dialogue, journaling, and mindfulness practices, you’ll explore what matters most and begin to reimagine your next chapter—with clarity and intention.


In the company of a small, trusted circle of peers also in transition, you’ll gain fresh perspective, meaningful tools, and the reassurance that you’re not navigating this alone.


You’ll leave with a renewed sense of direction, greater alignment, and a deeper connection to who you are—and who you’re becoming.

Day 1 - Thursday, October 2, 2025

9:00 AM – Arrival & Light Breakfast 

Ease into the experience with a gentle welcome, nourishing food, and time to settle your mind. You’ll be invited to unplug and ground yourself in the present moment from the moment you arrive.

Explore the Power of Discovery

10:00 AM –  Stepping In: Honoring What Was, Welcoming What’s Next 

We begin by arriving fully—as we are. In this opening session, you’ll join a trusted circle of peers who understand the complexity of transition. Through guided prompts and intention-setting, we’ll honor what you’ve let go of, acknowledge where you are now, and begin making space for what’s possible. This is a gentle entry point into the work of becoming again.  

Between the "No Longer & Not Yet"

11:30AM – Guided Session: Embracing the Pause
Examine what it means to be in transition—not rushing into the new, but learning to be with the unknown. Through journaling, story fragments, and small group dialogue, you’ll begin to embrace the quiet in-between as a place of growth and clarity.

Eat & Connect

1:00 pm - Gourmet Wellness Lunch

Enjoy a thoughtfully prepared, farm-to-table lunch that nourishes both body and mind. This is also an opportunity for informal networking and meaningful conversations with fellow attendees. 

Gain Clarity Through the Unknown

2:15pm  - The Quiet Path to Clarity: Applying the CLEARD™ Framework

In times of transition, decisions can feel cloudy or overwhelming. This session introduces the CLEARD™ Framework—a practical tool for gaining clarity when you’re in the space between what was and what’s next. You’ll apply it to a real-life question and walk away with greater insight, focus, and a sense of calm direction.

Reflect On Purpose

4:00 PM – Lessons from the Stillness (Reflection Time)
After a full day of deep reflection, meaningful dialogue, and personal insight, this hour is yours. Step away from the noise and allow the day’s experiences to settle. Whether through journaling, walking the grounds, resting, or simply being still, this is a chance to notice what’s rising to the surface.  No agenda. No output required. Just space to be with what’s unfolding.

Connect Through Storytelling

6:00 pm - Nourishment & Narrative

Gather for a candlelit meal designed to restore and connect. After dinner, you’ll be gently guided into a storytelling experience—an opportunity to reflect on a moment when you found your way back to yourself. Sharing is always optional, but listening is part of the magic. 

Day 2 - Friday, October 3, 2025

The Journey Through Not Yet

7:30 am (Optional)

Become You, Again

Explore identity beyond your title and most recent professional roles. Name the values and truths leading your next chapter.

Embrace the Pause

11:00 AM – Guided Session: Embracing the Pause
Step fully into the in-between—not rushing ahead, but slowing down long enough to notice what’s present. Through guided prompts, reflection, and quiet dialogue, you’ll explore the power of stillness as a space for clarity, not passivity. This is where the work of becoming again begins.   

Replenish Your Mind & Body

12:30 pm - Gourmet Wellness Lunch

 Share your reflections or enjoy quiet solitude.

Emerging to What's Next

1:30 pm  - Closing Circle: The Gentle Forward

 We’ll end as we began—in intentional reflection and shared presence. In this final session, you’ll name a small but meaningful next step, grounded in what’s emerged for you. You’ll leave with encouragement from the circle, a grounding mantra, and a parting memento to carry forward the quiet clarity you’ve uncovered. 

Wrap-Up

3:30 PM - Step Into What's Next
As you leave the space between no longer and not yet, you carry with you more than reflections—you carry the beginnings of becoming again. Receive your parting gift, share heartfelt goodbyes, and step gently into what’s next with clarity, calm, and quiet power. 

The Benefits of Participating

Step into a space designed for honest conversation, meaningful connection, and personal exploration.
Quiet Power isn’t about workshops or quick fixes—it’s about slowing down to listen, reflect, and rediscover what matters most. Through guided dialogue and shared insight, you’ll engage with fellow leaders navigating their own moments of transition, gaining clarity and confidence to move forward with purpose and authenticity. 

Engage in mindful practices that create space for clarity to emerge.
Amid the demands of leadership, intentional stillness becomes a strategic act. Through quiet reflection and gentle guidance, you’ll experience how slowing down sharpens focus, deepens self-awareness, and strengthens your capacity to navigate through and to what's next.

Wellspring Manor & Spa, one of the Washington, DC region's only luxury bed and breakfast destinations, provides a tranquil setting that fosters relaxation and restoration. The peaceful, 7-acre estate is perfect for leaders seeking to escape the noise of daily life.
