Join us to grow, connect, and thrive together.
At the EVOLVE Retreat, we focus on empowering women to become the best and most authentic versions of themselves. We provide a safe space for reflection, vulnerability and envisioning what's possible. AND we provide the expertise, practical tools and coaching to help you get there. We help you EVOLVE.
You have worked hard to build a successful life while juggling many responsibilities, at work and at home. You have pushed every day to be more, achieve more, deliver more. And you have succeeded.
Yet, you are wondering.....
Is there something else?
Perhaps you are at a point in your life where things are good but not great.
Perhaps you crave more purpose and joy but are afraid to disrupt what you have. Perhaps you crave time to stop and take stock or you are at a crossroads.
Maybe you're tired from the juggling, the doing and the trying to make it all look perfect.
Perhaps life has dealt you an unexpected blow and you don’t even know what you want anymore.
Or maybe it's just time for the next chapter.
We are all a work in progress, we are never done. But sometimes we need some support in figuring out next steps on our journey.
The EVOLVE retreats offers a safe space to press pause, take stock and get clarity on what is next for you.
For two days, you will step away from the never-ending demands of your daily life and join a judgment-free space to define what is really you and what is a product of the expectations you have taken on. Through customized exercises and 1:1 coaching, you will grow your awareness of what it is you most want and create actionable steps towards making it happen. Welcome to your next chapter!
"I had the privilege and pleasure to attend a 2-day coaching retreat facilitated by Orla Castanien. During these two days, Orla pushed my thinking about my career, financial needs, family and lifestyle. I found the experience to be groundbreaking in making a significant decision in my career while finding deeper meaning through my relationships with family and friends. Although challenging to be faced with deep questions, it led me down a path of critical introspection. I highly recommend attending this retreat and engaging fully in this life changing experience."

“I’m spending some time this morning reflecting, grounding myself in the life I want to experience and create. Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your coaching and the EVOLVE retreat.You’ve had such a profound impact on my life (well beyond my job) and I am so grateful”.

You will re-assess what matters to you, look at all the experience you have gathered, and understand how to leverage it into whatever direction you wish to take next.
You will put all the “I can’t because…” aside long enough to build a picture of how you truly want your life to be, beyond what you have allowed yourself to imagine up to now.
You will identify and challenge the thinking that keeps you stuck, become aware of what reinforces that thinking, and learn to detach from the narratives so you can identify the possibilities.
You will practice putting yourself first – with no guilt – and come to appreciate all that you are!
This may be the most important but overlooked step in creating your next chapter.
You will develop a simple, practical strategy to begin moving in the direction you desire as soon as you leave the retreat and receive follow up support to keep you moving forward.
