THE REST BOLDLY
RETREAT
VISIONING | STRATEGY | DEEP WORK | RESTORATION
4-day/5-night All-Inclusive, integrative, high-touch retreat experience for Catholic Women Leaders, Founders, & CEOs navigating leadership, business, or life at a pivotal moment.
You're at a clear inflection point: a critical growth stage, crossroads, or transition season.
You hold so much. You pour into so many. Now, it's your turn.
✨️ Because the First One Was That Good ...
Our first Rest Boldly Retreat (Sep 2025 in Guatemala) was a huge success. The Lord's power, presence, and movement was so tangible -- deep connection, big breakthroughs, healing, laughter, and so much grace.
It confirmed this isn't meant to just be a one-time thing...so we're opening registration for round two!



Your vision is big. Really big. It's growing under the surface, pressing you toward what's next.
You FEEL the untapped potential -- the expansion, stretch, and deeper call.
And if you're honest, it's getting heavier to hold. You can sense that what got you here, won't get you there.
You've led faithfully. Let go of what no longer fits. Built and rebuilt.
Stayed the course even when it's cost you.
But alongside that pull and the excitement... the pace, pressure, and constant decision-making are taking their toll.
It's like trudging through the mud. Fears. Doubt. Constraints. The parts of you that tighten, self-protect, and whisper, don't mess this up.
(Let alone, ALL that's going on in the world, and how disorienting & all-consuming it can feel).
You lead others, but rarely have space to be led, seen, or supported yourself.
You crave structure and sustainability, but also the freedom to move with the Holy Spirit.
You want space to breathe. To lay down what you've been carrying, even just for a few days.
To let your body, mind, and soul rest, so you can hear God clearly and think bigger about what's next.
To remember that slowing down isn't stepping back—it's stepping into alignment. You're ready to discern not from pressure or urgency, but from a grounded nervous system.
The Rest Boldly Retreat is your sacred interruption.
We created Rest Boldly because women like you are holding up the world -- teams, families, missions, entire movements.
And somewhere along the way, no one taught you how to be held too.
We see your brilliance, the incredible mission you've grown with blood, sweat, tears, and a whole lot of prayer...AND your quiet exhaustion.
And we're not gonna let you hide behind it.
This is your invitation to pause—not because everything is falling apart, but because you refuse to build what’s next from a place of depletion.
The world has changed.
You've changed.
You're outgrowing the old way of operating (even if you've tried to push through).
You're finally ready to do this differently.
You long to build from rest, from peace, from intimacy with God.
To be a grounded leader in these turbulent, chaotic times.
It's time to release the unseen weight, open things up a bit wider, and let the Lord go even deeper.
This is where your next season and level of leadership begins.
The Rest Boldly Retreat is your space to breathe deeply.
To break from being "on" all the time. To pause and reorient around what truly matters.
To release and be held for once.
To rest long enough to hear what God is really asking of you next.
(Go ahead, love, lean into the sigh.)
You Will Leave This Retreat With...
A clearer vision of what's next. In both work and life, and aligned with how you actually want to live, lead, and serve in this next season—not just what's expected of you.
A release of things that no longer belong, and burdens you were never meant to carry. Guilt, shame, and the pressure to prove, please, perform, or keep up. You'll be invited to name it, feel it, and begin to let it go—in the safety of a space that can hold it all.
Renewed connection to God, calling, and your deeper "why". Beyond the hustle. Beyond the metrics. Beyond the next item on your to-do-list.
Practical clarity around what needs to change. How your business, ministry, or mission may need to shift—not to stretch you thinner, but to support your actual capacity. A strategy that honors your humanity.
A regulated nervous system and a rested body. You'll feel the difference -- a loosening in your chest, deeper breaths, a heart less guarded, a soul less weary, and a body and mind that feels safer to live and be present in.
Support in the most tender places. For the parts that rarely get seen or heard -- the ones you've had to keep hidden, because everyone relies on you. We'll hold space for the healing that hasn't happened while you're busy leading everyone else.

What Women Experienced Last Time✨️
I received a lot more clarity on the bigger vision/mission. Boundaries, and the concept of asking for what I need and having an expectation that I am responsible for my own experience were very helpful.
I've often heard that as women, one of our gifts is to "anticipate the need" but it must be properly balanced with not being responsible for other people's emotions/experience. It was a good example of what it actually looks like to serve and anticipate needs well, without doing it from a place of people-pleasing.
Awareness of and healing of some deeper fears, and growing in confidence. I sense myself changed in zeal, confidence, and deeper trust in the Lord's gifts and promises.
Mindset - awareness that I have to think BIG in my professional life. Nervous system - it matters, and helps to be aware of the integration of body and mind. I need to learn to settle down my nervous system. Confidence - I deserve to be where I am at professionally, and embrace that with confidence and humility.
Taking time to dig out and name the emotional blocks in a supportive community with shared values was so valuable.
The flow of the retreat was PERFECT.
The free time allowed us to process and plan instead of being bombarded.
I am slowing down, even walking slower and more intentionally.
Taking care of my body and listening to what I am noticing, was something I never did. Now I am pausing and it is helping me move through the diffiult and tired times of the day.
I am not the same, which I will attest is a good thing.
I keep reflecting on that one exercise we did, to help move forward with things.
Excellent, worth the investment of time and money. You both did a tremendous job and I would come again. THANK YOU.
I felt like before I wouldn't even belong in this group, but by the end felt the Lord was speaking so clearly that He gave me the confidence.
All of it felt so supportive! I really felt so well-cared for on this retreat. There was so much intentionality.
Thank you so much for your love, gentleness, leadership, and expertise in making the retreat a spectacular and needed experience.
I believe this is the beginning of a shift in our culture that is so desperately needed.
I feel like I was just able to witness the two of you really show us what embodied leadership looks like.
From the very start with how you welcomed us, to the constant presence to the ways the Lord was moving, and seeing you be present to your own needs as the retreat went on. It was truly beautiful. I am just so grateful that I could be a part of it.
This isn't about adding more to your plate.
We've all had quite enough of that, thank you very much.
It's about finally laying down what you don't need anymore.
And breaking the cycle that keeps you hustling for worth -- "on paper" success while silently breaking inside.
It's about saying no freaking more to the pace that's been stealing your peace.
No more white-knuckling your way through.
No more hanging on and hoping that more relief is just around the corner.
It's about letting the masks fall...and the tears rise as they need to.
Looking your burnout in the face and refusing to chalk it up as "just a season".
It's about pausing long enough to feel what you've been overriding,
to speak truths to the spaces that need to hear, "this isn't working anymore,"
and hear what God's been whispering beneath the noise.
It's about tearing down the lie that it all depends on you.
And opening up to the terrifying, beautiful truth:
You were never meant to carry it all alone.
Here you get to lay it down.
Let the tension soften. Let the striving cease. Let yourself receive.
To remember who you are beyond what you produce—while reigniting the "yes" still burning within you.
Because this mission is SO MUCH BIGGER than you.
And the Lord is preparing you to lead it differently in this next season.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Retreat Experience
Together we'll weave:
Visioning & Strategy: clarity for your next chapter, practical frameworks, business + leadership direction
Deep Inner Work: be held and supported in nervous system regulation, somatic practices, parts work, healing from hustle, space to be seen, heard
Integration: we'll help you connect the dots between the internal awareness, movements and shifts, & external practicals (whether it be more sustainable leadership & daily life rhythms, strategy, operations, team growth, etc.)
Rest & Renewal: prayer, journaling, spacious rhythms, play, cultural exploration, and connection time to listen & receive in community
Each day is crafted to hold you in a spacious, embodied rhythm of rest, visioning, prayer, reflection, and strategy to create CLARITY & ALIGNMENT.
We'll help you pause the noise, step out of the daily grind, and enter into a slower, truer pace--where rest and work are no longer at odds, but integrated. We'll allow clarity to emerge not from more doing, but from creating space to listen.
Where your body, mind, and soul will finally be on the same page.
This Retreat is For You If...
You're carrying a LOT - and you need a space where you don't have to be the strong one, the steady one, the one holding everything together and making all the decisions.
You've built something beautiful, but you're tired. Stretched thin. And wondering how to keep going (let alone growing) without burning out.
You crave room to breathe. To get quiet. To hear God's voice beneath the noise and responsibilities that never seem to stop.
You're at a crossroads--personally, and/or in your leadership--and need guidance that honors your whole life, not just the work you do.
You've invested in coaching or masterminds before--but still feel unseen in the depths of your story, your body, your heart. You know there are layers--emotional, spiritual, somatic--that need space and safety to heal.
You long to lead differently. To live and work in a way that's actually sustainable--more human, more in rhythm with your values, your body, and the Lord who called you to this.
You're not here for hype, hustle, shortcuts, or surface-level strategy. You're ready for something deeper--real, courageous, integrated work that transforms from the inside out.
Space to be human, to BE, and reconnect with who you are, beneath the pressure and pace you've been sustaining.
It's Time to Receive the Clarity, Breakthroughs, & Connection You've Been Craving
You don't have to show up any certain way.
It's time to pause the swirl, zoom out from all the details bogging you down, and remember why you're doing this work in the first place.
This is your space to slow down, to let your whole body and mind rest, play, and reconnect with your vision, dreams & desires for this next stage.
All of you is welcome here—and all of you will leave transformed, able to breathe again.
With an expanded capacity to receive and steward what God desires for you and those you serve.

Why Lake Atitlan?

Famous for its breathtaking beauty and widely considered one of the most stunning lakes on earth, Lake Atitlan is an incredible backdrop for body and soul-level renewal, creative visioning, and deep rest.
Located in Guatemala's southwest highlands, it's a crater lake surrounded by mountains, volcanoes, and colorful villages that will slow your soul and invite you to breathe again.
Guatemala is one of very few countries in the world that still has a majority indigenous population.

This retreat is designed for Catholic women who are founders, CEOs, ministry leaders, or entrepreneurs who are navigating a growth or transition point in their business or leadership journey.
Women who are visionary, faithful, and committed—but often carrying more than you were meant to, with little space for yourself and what to shift into leading from peace and restoration instead of pressure and burnout.
Practically, you may be discerning "what’s next?" or "where do I go from here?"
You've got that gut feeling that the way you’ve been operating isn’t sustainable—but you’re scared to stop. You want clarity. You want to be poured into. You want to feel close to God again, and remember why you said yes to this mission in the first place.
You don’t need to be Catholic, but this retreat will be deeply rooted in Catholic spirituality.
We will pray together, have the opportunity to attend Mass, learn about Blessed Stanley Rother, a martyr who served the local Guatemalan community with an open cause for canonization, and speak freely about Jesus. If you’re open and respectful of that rhythm, and long for a Christ-centered experience, you are welcome here.
Not at all. While many women may have worked with us through Strategic Mapping or The Garden, this retreat is open to any Catholic woman leader, founder, or CEO who resonates with the vision.
If you’re ready for a reset, and desire deep clarity and support for the next chapter—you’re welcome here.
Yes! You’re welcome to attend with a friend, co-founder, or team member. Let us know during the application process and we’ll do our best to pair you in the same room if you choose a shared option.
If you Google, "is it safe to travel to Guatemala?" you are likely to be met with a travel advisory, or a notice to "use caution". However, this is largely based on cartel-related violent crime activities specific to very specific areas of the country.
Lake Atitlan, and all places that you will visit during the retreat, are quite safe.
Though this is completely anecdotal, I (Anna) have lived in Antigua, Guatemala for one year and have never experienced any violence, theft, or danger. I ride the public bus nearly every day and walk the streets alone after dark.
It’s all three—integrated. This retreat is neither a rigid mastermind nor a silent retreat. It’s a curated, in-person experience of rest, prayer, visioning, and strategy—with space for whatever your body, business, and soul most need.
You’ll receive both strategic support and space to reconnect with God and yourself—held in rhythms of prayer, conversation, adoration, and restoration.
We teach nervous system regulation, mind/body integration, calming breathing (breathwork is not one of our modalities), some parts work, and body and emotional awareness. All rooted in Theology of the Body, and run through two different doctors of Catholic theology. We do have supporting documents for anyone with questions about the modalities of inner work, or anything they may not be familiar with, and we are happy to discuss anything together to make sure you feel comfortable in our approach.
This retreat isn’t just about strategizing what’s next. We'll do that too, but we'll keep the horse in front of the cart where it belongs. It’s crucial that, as leaders, we create space to release the deeper weight you’ve been carrying—the pressure, fear, shame, exhaustion, and expectations you may not even realize are driving your leadership.
We’ll hold space for emotional and spiritual processing, somatic and nervous system regulation, and identity-level shifts that allow you to lead from rest and wholeness again. This is holy ground for deep, lasting transformation—not just mindset work or short-term relief.
That’s exactly why this retreat exists. Most women who come are high-capacity leaders who rarely create space to step back and tend to themselves. We gently guide you into rhythms of rest and clarity -- we'll help your body to remember. You don’t have to come “prepared”—just willing to be honest, open, and receptive.
Rest isn’t just another thing to do—it’s something we have to remember to BE in.
If the thought of slowing down makes you feel anxious or behind, that's a sign that you need this (or something like it). We won’t throw you into silence or solitude and leave you there. We’ll guide you—gently, graciously—into a different rhythm.
This retreat will hold you as you relearn what it means to be a human being, not a high-capacity doing-machine.
This is a high-touch, intimate experience, limited to 9-12 women. You’ll be known, supported, and poured into—this is not a conference or large group retreat.
Yes! Nursing infants are welcome--we know you're likely a package deal. 💗 Please reach out if this is you so we can help prepare any sleeping arrangements, logistical or childcare support you might need. If needed, we can assist with coordinating an extra pair of hands for you while at the retreat.
Retreat deposits are non-refundable but transferable. If something unexpected arises, you can transfer your spot to a qualified friend or colleague with our approval.
$500 deposit is due upon time of reserving your spot. We can work with you on a payment plan if needed. 100% is due by February 1st.
Spots are limited and filled by discernment.
Begin with the application. We'll follow up with you afterwards inviting you to a call to connect with Anna, and/or next steps if you're ready to move forward. We're here to answer questions, walk through any details, and help you decide if this experience is a good fit.
If it is, we'll then send you the deposit invoice and Retreat Contract.
Friend, you've done so much on your own.

But you don't have to always be the strong one, the reliable one, the one who always figures it out.
It's time to set it all down for just a little while and just BE.
And let us serve you and pour into you.
To feel the Lord's gaze on you and be loved--not because of what you've built or accomplished or how brilliant you are, but just because you are who you are.
This retreat is a sacred investment in the woman behind the work; the vessel of grace through which the mission flows.
And she's worthy of care.
Your next step: complete this short Retreat Application and we'll be in touch to either schedule a call with Anna, or move forward to book your spot.
