Your approach to success is sucking you dry.

In the past two generations, women have gained access to unprecedented opportunities for contribution and fulfillment. We're doing more, earning more, and reaching higher levels in organizations than women could've imagined fifty years ago. But every new level of achievement seems to take us to a new level of stress. Sure, we've "got it all" now...career, family, and prosperity...but we've discovered along the way that our attainments come with huge amounts of stress and pressure.

You do it all...but how long can you keep going like this?

You're a leader in your company. You're there for your friends, your partner, your kids, your family...You take care of the people, the house, the car, the business...but often, there's no time or energy left over just for YOU. And although you might not complain out loud about it, we know you secretly wonder sometimes, "how long can I keep going like this?"

Why are so many successful women struggling with the same pressures,
with no real solution in sight?

It's because we've all bought into a myth: success comes at a high price. Over the centuries, men figured out a formula for success: with focus, determination, drive, and hard work, you can have it all. When women began to ascend the ranks of business leadership, we took on that masculine model, and accepted the costs of success. And because we haven't seen women achieving success without making sacrifices in their home life, their health, and their personal balance, we've resigned ourselves to the idea that this is as good as it gets. But that's just not true.

Success can be a whole lot easier.
Come and learn our ancient secret!

The team at Elements of Power are so excited to have rediscovered our ancient Elements of Feminine Power that we’re convening a very special retreat just for professional women like you.

This retreat is just the break you deserve.

We’ll teach you to access your power, at the same time as you’re refilling your tank. You will be pampered with:

Beautiful scenery
A luxurious water-view room in a restored historic lodge
Delicious Northwest cuisine
An amazing massage
Many moments of laughter and connection

The retreat will be punctuated by delightful surprises and filled with powerful learning. We know you need some time away! And the beauty is...all of this luxury is the EXACT thing you need to activate your feminine power. How easy is that?

This retreat is for you:

You’ve got the degrees, the awards, and the paycheck. You’ve accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.
People consider you an over-achiever, but you wonder how you’ll keep it up.
You know how to make things happen...but you don’t always get to enjoy them.
You know you “should” slow down, but you don’t know any other way to operate...The very idea of slowing down may be scary to you!
You’re craving some time to just chill...but that just seems unrealistic, if not downright indulgent.
You’re in your 30s or 40s, maybe with some kids at home
Differences in lifestyle, career, or communication have left gaps between you and your girlfriends, but you still yearn for the support and fun of friendships with women.

If you’re reading this page and you said “yes” to 3 or more of these, we think it’s probably a sign: There are no accidents...we’ve been looking for you. You’re supposed to join us. Start now to do whatever it takes and ask for whatever you need so that you can be here. Get child care support from friends or family. Get time off from work. Clear your schedule. Book your plane ticket, if necessary. We designed this time especially for you, and it’s just what you’ve been wishing for.

But will your “filled tank” really last any longer than it did after your last vacation?

If it was like most vacations, the relaxation wore off the moment you returned home. Not this one, sister! Because, you see, while you’re retreating and restoring, we’ll be immersing you in a powerful learning environment where you’ll actually absorb a new way of being. And learn how to sustain it when you get back to “reality.”

In three days you will learn your power as a woman.
And that power will transform your life.

You’re not going to feel alone anymore. You won’t feel like you have to do it all. You’ll have a sense of contentment that you haven’t felt in a long time. You’ll feel beautiful, maybe even sexy. You’ll have a new perspective...things will look different. It will look like someone turned on the lights. Sure your kids will still leave stuff on the floor. There will be times when you have hours of your day left, but you feel out of energy.

The Elements of Feminine Power are not a set of theories. They are powerful qualities you know you possess...But it’s likely you’ve forgotten that they are your POWER. Many of us were taught that we’re sensitive, emotional, or intuitive (rather than logical)...but often these qualities were labeled as liabilities, not assets.

Michele is one of those facilitators whose voice wraps around you like a hug. Her presence is both so loving and so enthusiastic, I felt immediately at home. Throughout the retreat, her insights, teaching, and coaching helped me try on new approaches. I'm leaving with a feeling of relaxation, power, and excitement.

When you learn to leverage your full power, you will be unstoppable!

Imagine what your life will look like when you’ve got all your power engaged: You’ll wake up feeling excited, well-rested, and centered as you face your day. You’ll enjoy your morning time – both alone and with family – and begin your work day with clarity, care, and a deep sense of purpose. You’ll be effective in every task you take on. You’ll feel well-supported by those around you. And you’ll be joyfully aware of the value you add to others, just by being you.

Most of all, you will know down to your bones that yes, you can keep going! You’ll have a deep sense of satisfaction and security that your way of doing work, family, and personal success IS now sustainable.

“I’m in the news industry and it is dominated by men. In order to be successful, I thought I had to keep up with my male counter parts...do what they were doing to keep myself in the front. So after years of doing that, I did become successful, but I realized it cost me a lot. I was often tired, cranky and felt exhausted after a week of work.

“After working with Sara, I found out that being successful didn’t have to be that hard. I learned that using my feminine traits like resilience, intuition and compassion were actually far more powerful than anything I had tried before. It’s funny because after I understood how women need to approach success, things got SO much easier. In fact, less than a year ago I was offered my dream job and I wasn’t even looking for one! I largely attribute my success to working with Sara and learning how to tap my natural power.”

"Before I started working with Sara I had a tendency to hold back and not say what I really wanted to say both at work and home. I think I did this because I didn't really trust that what I had to say was accurate. After working with Sara I understand how important and reliable it is to trust my gut in conversations and how that's a source of power. So, now even though I'm still scared sometimes, I say what I need to say, and ask for what I need in my relationships inside and outside of work. Life is so much more exciting and real when I open myself up to the energy around me through real conversations and real connections."

- Heidi Ward, Senior Manager

P.S. If you’re still reading this, but also still resisting giving yourself the gift of a powerful weekend of feminine power, maybe you’re a little scared about what you’ll find out and what will change. That makes sense!

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” Let this be your “scary thing” for today. Go with your gut, and let that be an act of feminine power.
