women connecting

Welcome to the 5-day Women in Leadership Retreat - a transformative experience designed to help you unlock your full potential as a transformative and visionary leader through a unique combination of neuro focused leadership training, neurofeedback, nutrition, and functional movement. From workshops, to body work, to release of old stories , this retreat will challenge you and launch you on a new trajectory of connected heart and mind and improved self confidence.

What to expect

Oftentimes biohacking looks at the body, but forgets the brain and emotional body. During this retreat, we will look in depth into the topics of brain anatomy, emotional regulation, neuroplasticity, creativity, intuition and the unconsciousness of the brain. By exploring these areas, you will have a deeper understanding of the brain, states of consciousness and energetic body and how it relates to leadership, as well as practical strategies for applying this knowledge in your work as a leader. But, don’t think we are leaving it just up to the brain! We also will be speaking about how we can maximize the health of the body so that the brain can be at its peak. We will be covering how to optimize your nutrition, supplements, and traditional chinese herbs to support you in times of stress (aka - every day).


In 5 days you can expect:
- Measurable improvement in HRV & brain wave patterns
- Better creativity, attention, emotional reactivity
- Better communication internally and externally
- Education on reading and measuring your own improvement
- New energetic patterns and disposition to healthy habits
- Curated like-minded social group of driven women

In addition to the workshops, you'll be receiving a Brain Bundle (worth more than $1700) to take home with you to continue the brain training back home!

Get ready to return home as a new woman because this intensive is bound to exhaust, exhilarate and rekindle your brain and body so you can live with zest and vitality!

The retreat includes everything to recharge yourself

  • $1700+ value in brain optimization products from our partners (i.e., a curated list of companies that we use and trust)
  • 13+ hours of tailored workshops with Dr. Drew, Dr. Chloe and Dasha

  • 2 Group coaching sessions for the 4 weeks following your return home to support your integration back into real life
And more!

Experience the best health modalities

Ice Bathing

The cold heals inflammation, trauma, stuck energy and emotion. It forces you to get out of your head and into your body. Relax into it as we guide you through it and make this an experience you’ll be proud to have conquered!

Bespoke Brain Training

Time with Dr. Drew to learn how to use the Sensai and create a tailored program to optimize your brain health. You’ll understand the nuances of the tool so you can continue your own training back home.

TCM Workshops

Sessions can release trauma. Better out than in… especially when it’s led by someone who is skilled and trained to support you and provide a space that is safe and healing.

Sunrise Beach Walks

We walk the walk when it comes to circadian rhythm. Get up with use at sunrise, get the UVA in your eyes, ground by walking barefoot in the water, and get ready for a brilliant day (and even better sleep).

Movement & Bodywork

Movement, stretching and fascia release is critical for your brain health. Get ready for squat breaks during the day, morning and evening walks. You'll also get to experience an incredible body work session with a local therapist.

Brain Bundle

Products we love, we recommend, and most importantly that we use ourselves! See below some of the companies that will be included as part of this retreat's take-home kit. You'll learn how to incorporate these products into your daily lives.
