Here’s the deal:

We are gathering an intimate group of women to go on a destination retreat to Mallorca, a stunning island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain, to discover the TRUTH about YOUR LIFE and WHAT'S NEXT….the magic, the mess, and more.

» We will CLEAR OUT any old lingering beliefs that are keeping you stuck. (Let's smash that inner glass ceiling once and for all, shall we?)

» We will DREAM QUEST and PLEASURE DIG to get inspired for the next chapter.

» We'll BE FRANK about disappointments, sexuality, pleasure, impostor syndrome, feeling selfish, and connect with our true desires to create an inspired action plan.

Oh – and there’s excursions to ancient sacred places, a day on a boat to explore caves, cocktails, and mocktails, too!

PLUS:

» For 3 months prior to our epic retreat, we'll gather for an optional monthly online Coaching Salon where we can get to know each other better and start setting the stage for some deep transformational conversations.

» For 3 months following our life-changing retreat, we'll gather monthly to integrate the transformation and learnings.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

No matter how many books you buy or workshops you go to…it seems like your old patterns are right there waiting for you.

No matter how many zeros are on the left side of the decimal point…you still feel scarcity.

No matter how many times people tell you you’re gorgeous…you just can’t quite believe them.

You would never in a million years go back to your teens or twenties – there was enough confusion and heartbreak there the first time – but you wouldn’t mind getting back some of your:

• Confidence
• Sex Appeal
• Life Force
• Enthusiasm
• Late Night Talks about Everything
• FUN!

The feeling that YOU are SPECIAL and that you are destined for an extraordinary life is not the exclusive province of the young. And it’s never, ever too late to create the life of your dreams and make the contribution you long to make.

We have some amazing methods to help you uncover the voice of your inner knowing and inner wisdom, connect with your high-vibe self and unleash the voice of your wildest desires. PLUS we have the know-how and experience to create the feel-good action plan to bring your dreams to life.

Mallorca (AKA Majorca) is the largest of the 5 Balearic Islands, including Ibiza, located in the Mediterranean Sea just off the southern coast of Spain.

The island is famous for its glistening blue waters and beaches and known for its exquisite wine, delectable food, and intriguing history and culture.

Mallorca is a hideaway long loved by artists, jetsetters and nature lovers of all stripes.

During our week together, we will adventure out by land and by sea to explore all Mallorca has to offer.

Our excursions include:

• A day trip to the capital of Palma to include a guided tour of its cathedral and royal palace, a group lunch, and the afternoon free for additional shopping and sightseeing
• A half-day sailing excursion along the southern coast of Mallorca to explore hidden beaches and exquisite caves

With over two decades of coaching, mentoring and facilitation experience, Sam and Amy will knock your tankini off with their expertise. These women are the perfect blend of spiritual (not too woo), direct (with kindness) and mama bear love. You’ll receive special “love seat” time to receive 1:1 coaching, as well as proven exercises to take your life to the next level.

Collectively, Amy and Sam have facilitated over 85 multi-day retreats, events and workshops in such varied environments as Google, Harvard University, HOW Design Conference, US Naval Medical Center, Wisdom 2.0 as well as a zillion of their own private events in places like Greece, Belize, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Hawaii, Switzerland, and Mexico. 

In addition to the daily workshop time during our trip (featuring our time-tested worksheets, revealing exercises and exclusive processes), Sam and Amy are also offering a BONUS of an online Monthly Coaching Salon for 3 months before the retreat and 3 months after (value: $3000) where we can start looking at the deeper questions that will lead us to a better life.

50 is the new 30? Does that mean 62 is the new 48? Is 80 the new 17? 

What does all that mean, exactly?

We live in a time of unprecedented opportunity for women.

And while that’s exciting, it also means that WE DON’T HAVE A MAP for what our life journey could look like from here on out.

We don’t have any model of what the next 10, 20, 50 years or more of our lives are supposed to look like.

Guess what? You get to create whatever the hell you want! But even that freedom can feel overwhelming and confusing.

Amy and Sam are experts at helping smart people get:

- Clarity about what they really want - no "shoulds" allowed

- Insights into what's been holding them back for so long - and the spiritual remedy needed

- Creative Rocket Fuel to change what needs changing - immediately

You’ve paid your dues in full, my dear, and it's time to cash in to create the most epic chapter of your life yet.

Dream and vision with us and a potent circle of women. Commune with your Inner Wisdom and create a plan that's right for YOU.

Barefoot Perfect is NOT for you if:

• You want to sit in silent meditation and drink kale juice and do yoga 18 times per day. Kidding – of course there will be time for you to get your yoga on, take that run, kayak, paddle board, swim, do your thing - but we’re more about walking barefoot on the beach and having drinks with pineapple in them…(we don't care much for deprivation and austerity)
• You want to stay in another cold, anonymous, hotel conference room all day working hard and never enjoying the destination you’re at and coming home with a pile of notes you'll never look at again (no thank you, we like action and fun!)

You’ll leave with:

• A new, deeper self-compassion for your disappointments, embarrassments, and even your “failures”
• A true celebration of what an accomplished, wise, sexy, badass woman you are

• Relationships with women that will become lifelong friends and champions
