About the Retreat

The Essential Essence is for the woman whose life looks good on paper, but doesn’t quite feel like hers anymore.

You have built the relationship, career, family, home and reputation. You are capable. You get things done. You probably look like you’re holding it all together.

And yet you find yourself awake at 3am wondering, Is this it?

This is not a retreat where we keep you busy until you feel better. There is no packed schedule, no endless wellness activities and no five-step plan for becoming a better version of yourself.

Instead, you get six days with some distance from your ordinary life. You have your own private house, time to yourself, simple morning practices and honest conversations with three other women who understand the territory you’re in.

We’ll explore what is true for you now, underneath the roles, expectations and habits you’ve become very good at managing.

You don’t need to arrive knowing what you want. You just need to be willing to find out.

Hi, I'm Staci.

I have spent the past 10 years sitting with women who've built a life that looks great from every angle and they are still asking some version of "Is this it?".

And I have asked it myself, more than once.  My own path has taken me through coaching, bodywork, meditation, the Enneagram and a lot of experience of being a human being who does not always have the answers.

I am a Master Coach trained with InnerLifeSkills and an Enneagram trainer.  And I also work alot with the body, because I know that we can't always think our way into knowing ourselves.

My approach is less about giving you a method to follow and more about creating the conditions for you to notice what is already true. Along the way, I'll share ways to connect with and listen to your own innate wisdom.

I will guide the parts of the retreat that need guiding.
I will also ask questions.
I will notice what is happening.
And I will leave plenty of room for you to discover what truly belongs to you.

I live here at The Iconpainter, so this retreat isn't something I've brought into a rented venue for a week. While it is the first time I'm sharing this work in this particular group container, the way I work has been shaped by hundreds of sessions with women. I know how to stay with someone when the answer isn't obvious, and I don't need to rush you towards one.
