2024 International Women’s Day Retreat Weekend
Armed with a belief that as women we have a responsibility both to the women & their allies who came before us and to those women that will come after us, our 4 day, 3 night 2024 IWD Leadership Retreat Weekend is a recognition of and a commitment to women.
07/03/2024 – 10/03/2024
We Stand Together
The Glassford Group is a female led boutique leadership advisory, everything we do is through a lens of Championing Women and our Women in Leadership Retreats (WILR) wholly embody this.
A combination of wellness, leadership, movement, nutrition, rest, connection. Our WILR take place in Northern Ontario, in luxurious natural settings next to water where small intimate groups of women experience the transformation that comes with putting ourselves first.
Reset, Replenish & ReEnergize
Without rest and a reboot, for bright powerful and future women leaders, the burn out experience is real. Whether exhausted, depleted or stressed from balancing it all or simply wanting to relight the internal flame you know has been on autopilot lately, our WIL Retreats are inspiring safe spaces for you to reenergize and refocus; a vacation from serving others, they are highly curated experiences that combine leadership mindset sessions with self care practises, nutritious gastronomy and healing exercises that naturally stimulate empowerment and a sense of purpose within ourselves. AND the connections we make are lasting!
March 8th is International Women’s Day and to commemorate this important Day, we are hosting a special 4 day Weekend Retreat from March 7 – 10th 2024 at a lakeside cottage in Buckhorn Lake Ontario, you will not find any presentations decks or binders, nor suits or heels here. Ours is a unique retreat experience where we show up comfortable in warm and cozy attire and curl up on sofas to lean into conversation and replenish. Our title, what we drive, how old we are – that goes away here, as we stand collectively as women who stand on the shoulders of those women and their allies that came before us – the ones who did the work to make sure we have the opportunities we have today.
What You Can Expect
The modalities curated for our 2024 IWD Retreat are designed to open us up to the power each of us have access to within. We then create the deep connections to self while illuminating internal paths that have dimmed over time through:
Leadership Conversations
Yoga
Rhythmic Breath Work
Outdoor Exploration & Snowshoeing
Sound Baths
Lakeside Sauna
& Hot Tub
Nutritious Meals
Roaring Fires By The Lake
Our 2024 IWD Retreat is for an intimate group of 12 intergenerational like minded women all believing in our collective power to change things for both ourselves and future generations – they are counting on us.
Join Us For 3 Nights of Luxury at Lost Lakehouse
Held at the stunning “Lost Lakehouse” a lakeside luxury cottage in Buckhorn Lake, that opened this Fall – the perfect remote setting in the middle of nature, on the water. A lakeside sanctuary, equipped with quality linens, spacious bedrooms with incredible views and bathrooms. The design, furnishings, textures and thoughtfulness in the layout of space provides us what we need to lettuce masks down and the guards drop. The luxury suites provide comfort for our journey throughout the weekend. Choose a private suite or share a Double, Triple or even a suite for four. See available suites.
Leadership
Perhaps you own your business and need to level up OR you have had the rug pulled out from underneath you having been restructured and need to find your power again (it’s in you, I promise) OR you want to build better relationships, be more assertive, focus more OR just maybe, you feel yourself sliding back into familiar routines that are not serving you.
Where is the disconnection? Is it self doubt, time management, agency or is it self worth, feelings of inadequacy, lack of relevance? Our goal is to support you on your journey and guide you, enabling you to identify your core values, understand who you are when all masks are removed — at home, in your community and in your workplace — see where you need to lean in more and where you need to take a step back. It all becomes clear in our work together.
In House Chef & Organic Plant Based Culinary
Our Chef Margarita, designs her plant based farm-to-table menus to compliment the flow of our weekend together. Utilizing her vast knowledge of plant-based and nutrient-dense cooking, combined with several years of input from various travels from around the world including Mexico and Costa Rica, Margarita has managed vegan kitchens, catered retreats both in Europe and here in Canada and is constantly recreating classic desserts with wholesome ingredients, radically shifting the concept of what a “treat” can be.
Her goal is to help us to connect to food as a spiritual practice, spreading pleasure and wellbeing through organic whole food creations.
Yin Yoga, Rhythmic Breath Work & Meditation
In our Yoga shala, you will meet Michelle, our Yoga teacher, sound meditation guide, breath work facilitator and sacred space holder. Her focus is patience and intention and as an intuitive guide, provides deep connection. Yoga pairs perfectly with our focus on opening ourselves up to receiving and empowerment. Michelle helps us to integrate and process your daily experiences with a calm, clear approach. The number one thing we hear about Michelle is “we wanted more time with her!” Her sessions are designed to create balance, get us out of our heads and into our body’s. From beginner to expert, all are welcomed to participate and get out of our comfort zones.
