GATHER & GROUND

Why step away?

The woman leading your business deserves your attention too.

You’re building a business you care deeply about, serving your clients with excellence, wearing a dozen hats, and showing up for the people who depend on you - all while trying to balance the constant demands of work and life.

But somewhere between the back-to-back commitments and the never-ending to-do list, you've had very little space to check in with the one person leading it all - you.

• You move from one milestone to the next, but without time to pause and reflect, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and the woman you're becoming along the way.

• You want to grow and scale, yet your vision gets clouded by exhaustion and overwhelm.

• You know your work matters, but you’re tired of always running near empty.

• You need the space to breathe, to think, and to hear your own voice again.

If you've been craving the clarity to lead with greater confidence, reconnect with your purpose, and intentionally prepare for what's next...

Gather & Ground was created for you.

What if you gave yourself the space to reconnect with yourself?

Imagine arriving at a cozy inn by the sea. The air smells like salt and calm. The pace slows and the noise of everyday life begins to quiet.

Your shoulders drop as you realize-for once-you don’t have to juggle it all.  There are no constant notifications pulling your attention in every direction. No pressure to keep producing. No expectation that you have to hold everything together.

Instead, you’ll have space to:

Why I Created

Gather & Ground

Hi, I'm Shawon, your host for this retreat, and a fellow woman in business who knows what it feels like to carry both the vision and the weight of it all.

My first retreat wasn’t meant to be anything big. I was inspired by a woman I saw on Instagram who had simply booked a hotel for a day to plan. So I tried it too — I went away for two days, wrote twelve blogs, mapped out the year ahead, and thought it was just about productivity.

But something unexpected happened. I realized I had given myself space to rest, breathe, and work on my business with intention. That one experience changed everything.

Since then, for seven years, I’ve given myself the gift of quarterly retreats — not as a luxury, but as a time to step away to fill my cup. Each pause became a turning point. I’d come home more grounded, more focused, and more aligned with the kind of business (and life) I truly wanted to build.

As I've shared my retreat experiences over the years, women have always asked if I’d ever host one for others. And more recently, while on retreat in Martha’s Vineyard, a woman I met at brunch asked me that very same question.

And now, here we are.

This retreat is my invitation for you to step away, breathe deeply, and return with fresh vision, renewed energy, and a sense of calm you can carry back into every part of your life.

Who This Retreat Is For

Gather & Ground is for the woman who...

• Has built a business she cares deeply about and wants to continue growing with intention.

• Is so busy leading her business and caring for everyone else that she rarely makes time to invest in herself.

• Feels successful on the outside, yet knows she's been craving the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

• Wants more than another strategy - she wants the clarity and confidence to make decisions that align with the life and business she's creating.

• Is ready to step out of the daily demands of running a business so she can thoughtfully prepare for what's next.

• Values authentic conversations, meaningful relationships, and being surrounded by women who encourage, challenge, and inspire one another.

• Believes the greatest investment she can make isn't just in her business, but in the woman leading it.

When You Return Home

When you leave Gather & Ground, you won't simply be returning home.

You'll return to your business, your family, and your everyday life with a renewed sense of clarity about who you are, where you're going, and how you want to lead.

The constant noise that once clouded your thinking will begin to quiet, replaced by confidence in the decisions ahead and a deeper trust in yourself.

You'll return with a clear vision for your next season, a thoughtful plan shaped by intention, and the courage to move forward without feeling like you have to do it all at once.

You'll also leave with something that's difficult to put into words - a community of women who have witnessed your journey, celebrated your growth, and will continue cheering you on long after the retreat ends.

Most of all, you'll return grounded.

Grounded in your purpose.

Grounded in your priorities.

Grounded in the woman you're becoming.

Because Gather & Ground isn't just about stepping away.

It's about returning differently.
