"Rachel's ability to combine high-level business insights with a touch of luxury is unmatched..."
Spending a weekend in Nashville with Rachel was a game-changer for my business. During our one-on-one retreat, we developed a strategic plan for my business for the upcoming year. Her expertise and personalized attention helped me refine my business goals, develop actionable plans, and gain clarity on my next steps.
We also enjoyed a relaxing amount of time at the spa, which was what was needed to rest and recharge for the next brainstorming session. The balance of focused business strategy and luxurious self-care made the experience truly unique.
I left the retreat feeling empowered, refreshed, and ready to take my business to the next level. Thank you, Rachel, for an unforgettable and transformative weekend!

Yoga Nidra & Meditation
The Luxurious Leadership Retreat isn't just about stepping into your next level of thought leadership, but also about treating your mind, body, and soul to 4 days and 3 nights of pure wellness.
Each morning we will wake our bodies with light yoga movements and breath work sessions preparing ourselves for the day ahead. Don't worry if you've never done yoga before! This isn't a yoga retreat, so no crazy poses but rather simple stretches to help you start your day on the right foot.
We will close each evening with a starry night guided meditation, ceremony, or breathwork so that we can fall into our beds fully prepared for a wonderful night's sleep.
These gentle wellness practices will not only leave you feeling grounded and whole but also help you uncover the type of thought leader you wish to be.

These images will be invaluable for your website, social media, and marketing materials, helping you show up authentically as an authoritative figure in your niche.
Zelina Photography will visually capture your brand essence beautifully just like they did in the pictures beside.

As the owner of Adams Business Consulting, I needed strategic guidance on where and how to take my business to the next level. I had a weekend retreat with Rachel where she took the time to dive deep into understanding my business and offered strategic plans on how to accomplish my goals.
Her insightful approach and customized strategies gave me the direction I needed to elevate my business and brand.

Full Moon Ceremony
Under the luminous glow of the full moon, we'll gather as a collective to embrace renewal and transformation; where you will set powerful intentions and release negativity and energies that no longer serve you.
Imagine standing beneath the celestial light, feeling the gentle night breeze, breathing in the fresh Smoky Mountain air, and connecting deeply with your inner self. This sacred time will be dedicated to setting new, empowering intentions that align with your highest aspirations and desires.
Together, we'll journal our intentions and reflections while receiving a guided meditation allowing the moon's energy to cleanse and rejuvenate our spirits.

Her mentorship helped me realize that I am capable of overcoming any challenge and that I can be proud of my brand and legacy, instead of shying away from it.

We are proud to announce that 10% of all bookings for the Luxurious Leadership Retreat will be donated to the Mountain Tough Foundation.
This remarkable foundation was established in response to the devastating 2016 wildfires, which ravaged 17,900 acres of the Great Smoky Mountains. The fires tragically claimed 14 lives, injured 190 individuals, and displaced 14,000 area residents, with over 2,460 homes and buildings destroyed. It stands as one of the largest natural disasters in Tennessee's history.
By attending the Luxurious Leadership Retreat, you are not only investing in your personal growth and leadership journey but also contributing to the resilience and recovery of a community deeply impacted by these events. Your support helps provide essential resources and aid to those still affected and those with future needs, fostering a spirit of hope and renewal in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
