Is It YOUR Time?
Do you spend any time questioning if what you're doing is what you're supposed to be doing? If you are living your purpose? Being your best? Achieving your highest goals?
Do you ever get that nagging feeling that you're just within arms reach and you're waiting for that experience or that understanding or that idea to propel you forward?
You may not know exactly where you want to go and you might not even know exactly what you want but you know it's time. And you feel a sense of urgency about it.
You want to clear the way, to see the path and to feel the ground beneath you.
You want a connection not just to your own dreams but to the beauty around you and to others who want it as much as you do.
If it is your time and you're ready for an experience that can change who you are, or more importantly, how you think about who you are then please join us for the next live, all-inclusive Mojo Retreat.
Dear friend,
How would you like to spend 4 days playing, moving, creating, learning, singing, dancing, eating and challenging yourself with 14 other powerful, inspirational and creative women who are committed to creating the most fulfilling and satisfying lives possible without sacrificing their work or business, health, well-being, relationships and freedom?
If the answer is yes then I invite you to read this letter to find out more. (And watch this great video to find out what this weekend is all about.)
We created this unique retreat experience for women who don’t have nearly as much playtime in their life as they need (and want) to be creative and to operate at their very best. This retreat is for women who are excited about approaching their lives in an extraordinarily new way... and who are ready to get their Mojo on!
Why This Kind of Retreat and Why Now?
The Mojo Retreat in Vail, CO provides the space – spiritually, emotionally and physically – to help you reconnect with yourself, with what's important to you and to practice being in the moment in each and every moment. Every aspect of the retreat from food to self care to physical challenges are designed to reduce tension, eliminate real and perceived barriers to growth and achieve mind body mastery.
When we first came up with the idea for the retreat over a year ago, we knew we had struck a cord. We heard from so many women who were craving this type of experience and once we held our first one, many of the women who came said that it was the kind of thing they had been wanting for years but had never found.
Here’s a picture of us on our last night together.
This LIVE 4 day in-person retreat is going to challenge you and TRANSFORM you in a way none of us can possibly predict but in a way we’re certain will rock your world.
Here’s a Glimpse of What You’ll Get When You Join Us and 14
Other Spiritual and Highly Motivated Women at
The Mojo Retreat
We know that you are ready to give yourself the time, energy, attention and pampering you need to recharge and re-evaluate what’s working and what’s not in your life so you can have the lifestyle you want.
When we set out to design this next evolution of Mojo Retreats we asked ourselves, "What is the greatest gift we could give the people who decide to attend?"
Based on all of our conversations with our clients and colleagues and friends the answer was very clear.
The best gift we could give you is the space, time, attention and energy you need to have a major breakthrough. That may sound a little lofty and cliché so let me explain.
There is a principle known as "The Breakout Principle". Coined by Dr. Herbert Benson and William Proctor the Breakout Principle refers to "a powerful mind-body impulse that severs prior mental patterns and – even in times of great stress and emotional trauma – opens an inner door to a host of personal benefits" such as enhanced creativity, increased job productivity, greater mental acuity, spiritual development and maximal athletic performance.
The key here is that you can actually learn how to sever those past mental patterns that weren't serving you and activate breakouts that can transform your daily life.
Imagine yourself living "in the zone" all of the time. Feeling like you can't miss, like you have exactly what you need and to feel certain the answers will come.
There's a huge range of the breakout and it can show up in a million different ways for different people but that's why it's so powerful.
One of the guiding principles of the Breakout Principle is that a breakout begins with your natural power to maximize health, mental ability and physical performance. And while we can't make you a certified Mensa member or prep you to win a marathon in just 4 days, we can teach you many of the principles and tools you need to help facilitate transformation so that when you return home things WILL be different.
Our goal, if we can be so bold and optimistic, is to create an experience that is so powerful and transformational for you that you will see your life in 2 parts - - before the retreat and after. Okay, so that sounds extreme but the truth is, there is room for that kind of experience and if you go "all in" as we like to say, you will be able to do things and experience your life like you never have before.
At the Mojo Retreat our focus is on taking care of every single one of your needs so that you don't have to think about where to go, what to eat, how to get somewhere, where to sleep, or what to do. All you have to do is be present and engaged with whatever is in front of you so you can be open to receiving and give yourself the space you need to experience transformation in your life whether it's regarding how you approach your business, how you behave in your relationships, how you treat your body or how you work with your intuition rather than against it.
The intention is that this will be a life changing experience for 14 women who want nothing more than to connect with each other and go 100% all in, all the time.
If this sounds interesting to you then you're in the right place.
Perhaps you are familiar with these thoughts:
- You know that when it comes to your work, your health and your relationships your heart and soul are on the line and you feel a strong pull to tap into your BIG purpose or calling but you’re just not sure how to do it.
- You are certain there’s a voice inside of you that’s not getting any time on stage and you’re flat out tired of living your life behind the curtain.
- You know there must be practices you can use in your everyday moments to achieve the clarity, peace and presence you crave so that you feel better – mind, body and soul.
- You know there’s a part of you who is wildly creative but you are unsure of how to bring her out and let go of your self-doubts or the opinions & ideas of others that influence you so that you can grow in the direction and at the pace that feels good to you.
- You know there is something going on in your business that's holding you up. It's keeping you from taking the next big leap and as hard as you've tried and as many coaching programs and programs you've been through, you can't seem to figure out what it is. It's like you're constantly on the verge.
In other words…you know you’ve got mojo – you’re just not sure how to bring it out or maybe even what you're supposed to do with it. -That’s what this retreat is designed to do.
What You Will Gain by Going "All In" at The Mojo Retreat
- A clearer picture of what you are here to do and the many different ways you can do it
- The ability to create transformation in any area of your life, including problems that you've been carrying around with you for years…or maybe even decades
- A bag of practical exercises for the mind, body and soul you can do every day to achieve more peace, relaxation and connection in your life
- A fun approach to getting past beliefs that keep you stuck
- Tips on how to take yourself more lightly so that others can take you more seriously
- Concrete how-to's when it comes to building and marketing your business, staying healthy and doing right for yourself and your body EVERY single day, improving your relationships, increasing your money mojo, or anything else you need support with.
- A plan for how to get from where you are to where you want to go, individualized for each person.
- Deep connections with other women that can last a lifetime
What Are We Going to DO at The Mojo Retreat?
We want you to have as much information as possible before you decide to join us and while we aren’t exactly sure on the timing of everything, we assure you this will be 4 days of fun where we’ll be combining nurturing, pampering, playing, physical activity, spiritual practices and practical tools to help move you into a place of heightened creativity and focused action so that it always feels like you are hitting your stride.
Day 1 Wednesday, September 15, 2010 Arrive in Vail mid to late afternoon. We will have a welcome reception, cocktail party and dinner together to kick off the weekend. We’ll introduce ourselves, learn more about each other and set the foundation for the next 4 days. That evening also take some time to pour over your personalized numerology report prepared by Melani. This was by far one of the biggest hits at the first retreat and when we talk about them the next day and how having this information can impact your life, your work and your relationships you will have access to insights and possibilities you likely never imagined before.
Wake up and start your day with a vigorous and rejuvenating yoga class. Enjoy a wonderful breakfast and then spend the day participating in mini workshops involving topics such as numerology, money, creativity and more. In the middle of the day we’ll break for a delicious lunch and then get back to "work".
After our work for the day, enjoy a night in Vail by heading to a nearby café or just hunkering down by the fireplace and eating in. Here’s what happened at our last Mojo Yoga class. Don’t try this at home.
We’ll start our day with a challenging hike (don’t worry there’s something for all levels) and another yummy breakfast. Then we’ll spend the day focused on topics designed to push you and challenge you to imagine new possibilities for your life and your work as well as fun and creative ways to help you achieve what you want. We’ll take a break for a deliciously catered lunch and then spend the afternoon doing “Mojo Seats” where you will get our individual and focused attention. This is a time for you to get our feedback – just two-on-one - on whatever it is you want to bring to the table, whether it be about your business, your job, your relationships, your health or a project you’re working on.
We’ll end the day coursemaking a full meal together in our beautiful gourmet kitchen. (If you aren't a fan of cooking, no worries. You can sit back and relax with a cocktail by the fire or on the deck overlooking Vail Mountain while those of us who love being in the kitchen whip up something great!).
That evening we have a special treat planned that will take you back to your middle school slumber party days. (We don’t want to give it all away before you get here but trust us, you’ll love it.)We'll also have our “closing ceremonies”. We can’t tell you too much but expect B.A.L.L.S and bubbly!
And there are so many more things planned we can’t even tell you about yet!
"Is The Mojo Retreat Right For You?"
Chances are if you are getting that little tickle in your belly then you have a pretty good idea that this retreat is exactly the kind of thing you need right now. But just to be sure, we’d like to be clear about what this retreat is not.
A Magic Pill
We will not be handing out magic pills on the last day that will give you the lifestyle, health and relationships you want. This is deep work and it doesn’t happen overnight. Sure transformation can be instantaneous but unless the thoughts and ways of being are followed by deliberate and persistent action, nothing will really change. You must create new patterns if you want things to change and that can take time.
A Networking Extravaganza
If you are interested in this retreat because you think you are going to network with other women to grow your business or expand your Rolodex, this is not going to be the right place for you. Networking events certainly have their place but there are more than enough of those to go around. You will be with 14 other women for 4 days and nights. The connections go so much deeper than that. You might start out at the cocktail party with your fancy shoes on but pretty soon you’ll be sitting cozy by the fire with your PJs on talking about stuff that really matters and you will create the space for a-has and transformations you could never predict.
For Women Who Are Content to Play Half-Way
This retreat is for women who are “All In”. They are serious about getting past the stories that no longer serve them and the habitual behaviors that keep them from living the life they want. In order to do that you have to be willing to drop the complaining, whining and the tendency to stay with what’s comfortable. That’s the kind of energy that will not only keep you stuck but will suck the mojo out of the whole room and that is definitely not faaabulous!
Also, at the Mojo Retreat everything we do serves a purpose. Whether we are talking about numerology, practicing yoga or strategizing about marketing, there is a reason behind it. And if we are going on a hike, it’s deliberate. If you are not an active person and being active is a problem for you, then The Mojo Retreat is NOT the right one for you. As our tag line indicates “It’s an ACTIVE retreat for the mind, body and soul.” If you don’t want to be active, don’t come. You will miss the full experience of the retreat.
Fluff
Yes – we are going to be pampering ourselves a bit but this is not all about shoes and nail polish. Every single activity we are including has a purpose and is necessary to achieve the integration we want. The activities we participate in on a daily basis often seem disjointed and separate from each other. One of the principles we are teaching through this retreat is that everything counts and it’s when true integration occurs that we are most congruent and at ease with ourselves and others.

And this time there's not just the mojo Retreat – there's PRE-Mojo!
What the Heck is PRE-Mojo?
One of the things we learned from the last retreat is that the women wanted more time together. They also wanted more time individually with us. So this time we're adding a completely new component to the retreat….pre-mojo.
If you register for the retreat, starting in July you will receive one 1-on-1, 30-minute coaching call each month (July, August and September) and 2 group calls. On the one-on-one calls you will have the opportunity to work on whatever you need support with whether it's marketing your business, reducing stress and overwhelm or just getting a handle on your money. It's your time to use as you choose.
The goup calls will give us a chance to get to know each other, learn from each other and hold each other accountable for the changes we want to make.
Then once we meet up together in September, we'll be like old friends ready to hit the ground running.
Pretty sweet, right?

Melani and Sandy
“Attending the Mojo retreat and working with Sandy and Melani was absolutely a breathe of fresh air! Not only did I really, really appreciate the small, intimate feel of the retreat (after all of the big, super conferences I’ve recently attended), but the amazing generosity and wonderful gifts that were given to us made us truly feel appreciated. None of that compares, however, to what (for me) were the two most important elements of the whole event: (1) the unlimited access I had to Melani and Sandy during the entire retreat, and (2) the return to basics.
The great thing about the Mojo retreat was it was all about us, and our businesses, our work and our lives. I left Boulder knowing exactly what I need to do next in order to up-level my business and my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Melani and Sandy are the queens of getting you out of your own way. With their piercing clarity, their gentle awareness and infectious enthusiasm, you can hear yourself saying "I want some of that!" The beauty of these two mojo-licious ladies is that they share with you the tools to actually "have some of that!" Thanks ladies!”.

“The intimacy of the event was terrific, allowing every participant to truly feel listened to and heard. There was a strong sense of connection from the very beginning. Your thoughtful little touches made everything all the better -- the power bars, the gift bags, the "balls" at the end -- you thought of everything! Also, the mix of pampering, physical activity, and "thinking time" made for a very well-rounded and FUN event!”.

“Before the retreat I was overwhelmed with idea of figuring out the direction I needed to take to grow my business. I came to this retreat to gain intelligent insight and advice. I also wanted to gain more confidence in myself. I learned that I am actually on the right track and I have a lot of skills and experiences that I can leverage to grow my business. When I left the retreat, I was VERY clear of my new direction for my business and I actually had a product launch mapped out with dates and details! I was able to do this because I received the feedback and clarity I was looking for. In addition, the awesome MOJO factor from this retreat gave me that sense of confidence that anything is possible if I am willing to do the work!”.

“For quite some time, I felt that I was that sense of community that comes from like-minded women. When I heard about the Mojo Retreat, it was a no-brainer. Not only would I have the opportunity to connect my mind, body and business, I knew I would be able to connect with the very community that I desired. Throughout the weekend, I learned so much - mindset shifts, non woo-woo numerology insights, exciting fitness exercises, new marketing strategies - too much to share here. The best part was I walked away with the ability to finally receive and listen to the truth of my inner wisdom. I walked away with my mojo”.
