Ever wondered what happens at a wellness retreat and whether it's worth your time? Did you know Mike and Helena do retreats? 

This week Helena and Mike unpack their recent experience co-hosting a one day retreat in Sonoma, CA with the amazing team from RebuildU by MFactor events. 

We pull back the curtain on what makes a retreat transformative, share personal takeaways, and consider what’s next on the retreat horizon … perhaps a future multi-day retreat 🤩


Episode Highlights
🎧 Helena’s off-the-charts enthusiasm about the liver (and detoxification biotransformation processes) … does the liver need a hype woman? Because, Helena’s it! 
🎧 Moving beyond the “go-to” stress management tools and exploring diverse wellness practices that can fit into real-world scenarios like boardrooms and traffic jams
🎧 Avoiding information overload at retreats and actually integrating one meaningful change into your daily life instead of trying to do everything at once
🎧 Personalizing a retreat attendee’s experience with pre-assessments 
🎧 Mike and Helena’s vision for extended retreat experiences that allow time for deep dives, decompression, and meaningful connection 
🎧 Mike’s desire to blend sustainable leadership practices with wellness tools
🎧 The importance of having a plan when you leave a retreat so you don't automatically slip back into old patterns once you're back in the "real world"
