Next-Level You — The Retreat
March 31 - April 1, 2023 - Erie, PA
Do you ever daydream about what the Next-Level You will look like? Who is she? What does she wear? Who does she hang out with?
We get it. Us too.
It’s because you’re ambitious.
You have goals. Aspirations. Yeah, big ones.
And you’ve been taking baby steps toward them while you’re living your life, working on your career, and giving it your all.
But there’s a longing still. You crave a big leap. Like now. You know you’ve got it in you. And you have an inkling that you were born for more.
There’s a next level, sister, and it’s got your name all over it.
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and still, there isn’t a major shift.
You want to make massive progress toward your goals in a short period of time.
You want to shake off the icicles and let your energy, your writing, your, well everything!, flow in the direction of your dreams.
I’ve got some great news … the time is now to find the Next-Level You!
Sometimes, we need an incredibly powerful container to incubate our success so we can spread our wings and fly to the next level.
Are you ready?
Picture this …
You escape to a beautiful bed and breakfast near the lake, just as winter tips over into spring …
You immerse yourself in learning from four fabulous facilitators who pour into you with their expertise AND have an open discussion with you about what you’re learning …
You discover your future self, master your energetic alignment with your dreams, talk and write about the transformation that got you where you are today, and intentionally nurture your new vibe with an up-leveled, high-vibe sisterhood.
On top of all that, some of your meals are provided, and you don’t have to make your bed!
It’s definitely time for your Next-Level You!
The Next-Level You retreat focuses on four disciplines that will help you hone in on the big dream you want RIGHT NOW (because years down the road isn’t good enough for you, sister) and use your connections, storytelling skills, and your Leadership Energy to get there faster.
Aside from the fabulous food and digs, you will receive the gift of transformation throughout our afternoon sessions:
And we know you’re pretty excited to make these big changes in your life in an easy peasy way. What’s better than being surrounded by soul-sisters for a massive upleveling experience?
Here’s what you’ll get at the Next-Level You retreat:
Plus, it’s all arranged for you! All you have to do is show up. AND, the transformation that you experience because you showed up and did the work is a major bonus for this full-immersion experience into the Next-Level You!
Value: $2,000
Your investment: $488

Here's the Venmo link for payment.

What Are We Doing?
Following a noon lunch, at the Inn, you’ll start with our first session.
Master Your Mindset and Happiness
As high achieving, successful women, we are constantly striving to be our best and make things happen. And let’s face it, we are fabulous!
With our awesomeness, comes chaos and never-ending expectations. It’s easy to get sucked into low-vibe thinking and energy-draining drama.
When this happens, we lose focus of what’s important and who we are. We feel the pressure to be perfect, help everyone, hustle, and constantly prove ourselves.
We get caught in thoughts of self-judgment, doubt, and overwhelm.
Too often we put Band-Aid fixes on situations to keep moving forward. We tolerate feeling stuck or unhappy and rationalize this by telling ourselves, “I’m fine. It’s fine.” WHY? Because it’s easier than dealing with our discomfort or making a change.
All of this low-vibe energy is exhausting! It truly blocks us from living and performing as our highest selves—at work and in our personal lives.
Fantastic news though! You ALWAYS have the power and choice to ditch this stress and drama!
Merilee Smith will teach you to be the Jedi Master of your thoughts and Leadership Energy! When you learn this, you will be happy, resilient, agile, confident, and calm, no matter what changes, opportunities, or challenges life throws your way.
Prior to our retreat, you will take the Energy Leadership Assessment.
This game changing pre-work will open your eyes to how you are directing your thoughts and energy. Psst! This is the MAGIC piece! Because these are 100% impacting how you are leading your life right now—your happiness and the results you are getting.
During this highly interactive session you will:
You will walk away with the inner power and tools to continue to grow, evolve, and lead a happy, high vibe, wholehearted life!

During this highly interactive session you will:
- Explore your Energy Leadership Assessment results to deepen your self-awareness ($188 value)
- Understand the 7-Levels of Energy that are available to you at any given moment
- Get clear on how your leadership energy is working with or against your goals and who you want to be
- Learn how to raise your consciousness so that you can intentionally create productive thoughts, positive actions, and abundant results in all areas of your life
You will walk away with the inner power and tools to continue to grow, evolve, and lead a happy, high vibe, wholehearted life!
Next, our second session will feature your village.
Building Your “Village”
Do you ever feel left out?
Do you feel like you’re the only one you know with certain challenges?
Are you someone who spends most of your time working alone - and feeling isolated and lonely?
Do you constantly feel like you’re “showing up” for everyone, yet no one does it for you?
Do you struggle with setting and sticking to healthy boundaries within friendships?
Call it what you want: a village, a girl squad, your friend group, posse, tribe… whatever – these are the people who you’re receiving (and GIVING) support from! Remember the old Girl Scouts song, “Make new friends, but keep the old… one is silver and the other’s gold”?
We’re going to explore the truth in that statement …
Your village can include:
Kelli Komondor will have an open conversation about how she created her village of like-minded women, resulting in her bestselling anthology and a business built almost exclusively on referrals. Everyone will have an opportunity to share their friendship/supporter experiences and participate in a “bless and release” activity with Building Your Village: Why a Strong Support System is Crucial for Your Success.
You’ll walk away knowing:

Your village can include:
- A network of friends and colleagues you admire - who fight to help you earn, and keep, a seat at the table.
- Family members who call you out on your fears and help you work through them.
- Co-workers who help you grow in your role and encourage you to work hard and find success.

You’ll walk away knowing:
- How many friends do you really need?
- Who should be in your inner circle … and in the other circles beyond that!
- How your village changes throughout the years, why, and why it’s okay.
- Why asking for what you need from your village is so important.
- How to set healthy boundaries with your village.
Our third session is where you’ll dig into the heart of your transformational story.
Telling Your Transformational Story
We’ve all spent a little time in a cocoon. Now is the time to share that journey!
You might wonder why talking or writing about it is so important. It’s dark. It’s gooey. It’s half-formed. It’s messy. But that’s exactly why you need to share about it!
How you changed, grew, transformed is a major piece of the puzzle for many of your followers, the people who want to work with you, hang out with you, or emulate your transformation. And even if that’s not why they want to stick around, your transformation is inspiring and connects you with others on a heart-level.
And that’s the exact energy you want to put out into the world: healthy vulnerability and sharing your journey creates a connection that inspires others!
Now, the trick is to be able to do it so you can talk about it on social media, in your bio, in articles, or even in a book.
Much of the writing that you need to do to connect deeper with your audience involves where you came from.
You don’t need to be Jenny from the Block to be real with people and let them see who you truly are.
Cori Wamsley's session will teach you how to overcome some of the common challenges to writing about your transformational story, tips and tricks for getting it out without staring blankly at the blinking cursor, and some things to avoid for going deep in a healthy, soulful way.
You’ll leave with pieces of your story written and reviewed, and you’ll be empowered to keep sharing in all the different ways you’re called to!
We will break for dinner following the third session at one of the restaurants within walking distance of the Inn!
In the evening, we will gather again in the sitting room to relax and dive into your future self. Who is she? You’re about to find out!

Journey Into Your Future Self
Want a clear vision for the next step in your business, life, or career? Session four will help!
Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years?
Renee DeMichiei Farrow will take you on a journey where you will meet your Future Self and find out what she’s like and Renee will guide you to be like her in the future.
Many who have gone on this journey with Renee are surprised to find out just how different, savvy, and basically awesome their future self is. But here’s the funny thing, she’s already part of you.
Meeting her just opens you up to understanding the possibilities that lie within.
After doing this activity, one of Renee’s clients created a bestselling book!
As you visit with your Future Self, she will present you with a gift that can open the successes of your future life.
What will that special gift look like? A book, a new business, career shift, or a more purposeful way of living?
It’s different for each person because we all hold some longing deep inside that is different for each of us. Sometimes it’s a total surprise, and other times, you already knew but never spoke it aloud!
This is your chance to get a peek at what’s next and own it!
This short look into your future life can open you up to new possibilities!
That night, you’ll stay in the beautiful bedrooms upstairs in the Inn. They feature modern bathrooms with luxurious showers and potties because, hey, we can appreciate the past and its beauty, but we know you don’t want to run outside in the middle of the night to find an outhouse.
In the morning, you’ll join your sisterhood in the dining room for a mouthwatering Victoria Inn breakfast, followed by a final session.
Map Out Your Dreams
With that fresh, new friendship you have with your Future Self, your story, your village, and your leadership energy, you’re going to make a concrete commitment to your vision of what you really want!
Renee will take you through the process of creating your Future Self board that will enable you to plan and visualize your future success.
We love Future Self boards for the power they give us to focus on our goals and also put them out to the Universe to help them come to fruition!
Future Self boards have been paramount to a lot of our successes (ask Cori about how that Disney thing worked out!), and with all the shifts during the Next-Level You retreat, we all need to iron out our next steps and start dreaming big!
