Transformational Retreats with Erin
Kenya — February 2024
Are you longing to push pause and re-assess the direction of your life?
Are you longing to push pause and re-assess the direction of your life?
I invite you to imagine...
You’re finishing a special day on safari and watching the glowing sunset in Kenya.
As you take in this moment, a family of elephants mesmerizes you as they walk along the horizon.
This is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
The colors in the sky are familiar, but the fascinating landscape
that surrounds you is unique and invigorating.
It’s as if you have landed in an episode of National Geographic.
What is most incredible, however…
is how delighted you are to simply be present and cherish this moment. You feel free to soak in the sunset because there’s nothing more important to get to. No nagging to-do lists in the back of your mind. You’re not even tempted to pull out a phone and start scrolling. You simply want to be here, in the now.
You feel free!
What if I told you that this daydream could come true?
Let me go further...
What if I said that this experience isn’t an escape,
but rather a doorway to a new chapter?
A chapter defined by profound
presence and clarity.
A chapter in which you have the confidence to achieve the results you’d really love to create.
A chapter in which you have the
confidence to achieve the results
you’d really love to create.
this year and beyond.
If these thoughts stir something inside of you
or lead your heart to say, “YES, I would love that!”
...Kenya is calling you.
Consider this my personal invitation
to join me in Kenya.
Our fast-paced western culture can be so loud.
So transactional.
So demanding.
That’s why Kenya is the perfect place to put the world on silent and finally listen to what’s on your heart.
Not sure how to do that? That’s OK!
That’s why I’m your guide as we
navigate your soul-searching
during this sacred time together.
I’m here to walk with you during every step of this retreat.
And I am looking forward to going with you on this life-changing journey as you finally find the next steps you’ve been looking
for in your career, your relationships, your connection with God, your dreams—your life.

Your journey of inspiration and awakening…
You’re going to come alive as you meet my joyful Maasai family of 14 years, a tribe who will welcome you into their homes. More than that, they’ll lead you through a cultural ceremony that very few people ever see, let alone experience! This beautiful ceremony celebrates your journey of growth and will be a memory that you treasure forever.
You’ll reconnect with your 10-year-old self as you marvel at baby lions on safari and meet orphaned baby elephants at a wildlife rescue. As your youthful self resurfaces, it will revive your curiosity and sense of wonder. This renewal will fuel your belief that you are invincible and that your dreams are possible.
You’re going to rediscover the power of human creativity as you visit local artisans, including a breathtaking glassblowing studio. You will find yourself inspired and remotivated for long-lost hobbies that are meaningful and fulfilling — bringing desired balance back to your day-to-day life.
We’ll savor our two weeks in Kenya, exploring this special corner of our beautiful earth.
While you’ll be exploring yourself – and what you would love to achieve.

The best part...
is that you will discover a life-long tribe on this journey.
First, as your guide and mentor...
…I will be there to help you design a roadmap for the next chapter of your life.
This is my gift and passion, and I’m so excited to help you chart your course for the future.
You’ll find my down-to-earth approach to creating more success refreshing and inspiring. You will feel empowered with new tools to build new results.
On top of it all...
…your fellow group members will also be there to journey with you, actively listen to your learnings, and celebrate your breakthroughs.
You’re going to discover lifelong traveling companions — a supportive tribe who may not live in the same city back at home, but who are on a common journey of growth and united by this shared experience.
During our time in Kenya...
…we have special access to exclusive lodging, as well as luxury accommodations.
We’ll embark on safari day trips and explore the incredible sights and sounds of nature, which is so good for the soul.
And you’ll also have the freedom to take time for yourself — whether you need to rest, reflect, or recharge.
Are you ready to walk through the door
into the next chapter of your life?
All while enjoying a safe and thrilling all-inclusive adventure.
I also believe in the power of small groups and human connection, so I have limited spots for each retreat to keep our experience relational.
Join the adventure!

You are expected to cover your flight to and from Kenya, immunizations, travelers insurance, tips, Visa, passport, medical testing in the US and Kenya for COVID, souveniers, beverages, and extra food outside of the planned group meals.
Who will be my fellow travelers?
You can expect a wide range of people joining you on this retreat. People could be of any age, gender, relationship status, nationality, and race.
If I were to decribe past retreat members in three ways, they would be showcased as kind-hearted, open to learning and growing, and supportive of their group members. If this sounds like you, you would also be a great fit!
Even though there were differences of origin, beliefs, introverts and extroverts, quirks, personalities, or even daily needs–we all supported each other and the group deeply connected by the end of our journey. We became family.
How far in advance to book my trip?
Book as soon as you can! There are limited spots, and I keep our group small so we can travel with ease and we can foster deep connections. Spots fill up quickly.
Booking early can also give you more time to plan your flights and other aspects of the preparation process.
When do I buy my plane tickets?
There are many possible answers to this question, but I typically buy my ticket 2-3 months in advance. If you buy too soon, there is a high chance that the rates will be elevated.
Reach out to Erin if you have any questions about what an average pricing might be, as she has flown there many times and from different states.
I recommend buying directly from an airline vs. a third party due to the ease of making changes when needed, such as flight delays, etc.
What is the daily pace like?
I aim to make your retreat both productive, fun, and restful. There will be days of mostly travel and sightseeing, and also days sprinkled in for rest and mini adventures.
You always are welcome to hang back during a day trip to enjoy quiet time.
