August 8-12, 2020
A Summer Retreat at the Foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France

A Remarkable Opportunity to Develop Resilience, Courage & Confidence
We're being called upon to tap into our inner wisdom, our reserves of resilience, and to use our intuition to face the many challenges we may encounter both at work and in our personal lives. Julie Lewis and Debra Moffitt believe in and nurture the inner capacities and innate abilities of the people they work with. In this summer retreat, you'll be given opportunities to grow in self-confidence by discovering your strengths, defining your values, and experiencing yourself in the naturally powerful environment of Mont Blanc. Being at Mont Blanc is about "being on top of the world" while being in the world; getting clarity about higher perspectives and broader vision. It's a place to contemplate perfect timing and synchronicity and see next steps as well as gain courage and self-confidence through the vital connection with nature that brings people back to themselves. It's an invitation to step up and into a deeper awareness of your abilities and power.
