The Last Creative Freedom Retreat

save my seat!

it's the end of an era...

For nearly 10 years, The Creative Freedom Retreat has been what one attendee calls "the most important thing I do for my business all year."

And this is the last one!

As part of my business transition, I'm retiring the Creative Freedom retreat to make room for something new... and this event is where it all begins!

This transformational, full-immersion planning retreat is for leaders who want to translate their big vision into real results for their business.

what happens on retreat?

To say it's a business planning retreat makes it sound about as exciting as watching paint dry. 

It's not your tranditional planning event. It is an intimate gathering and we go deep.

I'm a Fusion Creative who believes strongly that the way we get the best results is to be in a space where we are fully seen and safely held so that we can tell the whole truth. I make it my mission to create a space that lets you explore what's really possible for you. That's why we limit the event to 10 people.

There's a lot of experiential activities - games, writing, movement - even a field trip! Things that take you just beyond your comfort zone to help you see YOURSELF from a new perspective.

That new perspective is everything.

You can't solve a problem you don't know exists. And this whole event is about helping you see the real landscape around you so that you can make the best decisions for your future... in life and work!
SAY LESS... I'M IN!

What should I expect?

When you put 10 amazing humans in a room together, magical things can happen. 

Here are a few things I've seen:
People come to terms with an important truth
they've been hiding from everyone, including themselves
New connections and friendships with folks
that become your raving fans and advocates
People who know their stuff put their brains to work
on your situation. Like a mastermind, but better!
You realize the people in the room have your back
and want to see you win!
And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

We work hard, we have fun, and by the end of it all, you have new-found clarity on what matters most, a new vision for the direction of your business and life for the next 12 months, clear steps on what do to next, and new friends to celebrate you on your journey.

We cover a lot of ground in 4 days, but we also have lots of room for you to just relax and BE. We start at 10am and run to about 4pm each day (we wrap when we hit a good stopping point, not because the clock strikes 4!). That gives you plenty of time to explore the city, check in back home, or just unwind after a full day of laying the foundations for your future.

It's immersive and experiential, so what happens in the room also depends on WHO is in the room. Each year we plan a field trip somewhere local, and I'm excited to show you around town!

Plus this year, you'll be the first to experience the new One Move That Matters™ approach and toolkit as we transition to the new direction for our company!

Who's Coming?

From founders to artists, doctors to writers, fitness instructors to c-suite executives, all shapes, colors, genders, ages, professions, and worldviews show up in the room. If you can't handle diversity, this is not the room for you!

Because this is the final Creative Freedom Retreat, I expect we'll have a mix of newbies and veterans, people who've never worked with me before and folks who've attended every single retreat.

I can also pretty much guarantee that this is a room full of smart, compassionate, stellar human beings because those are the kind of people that resonate with the way I show up for my people. 

We believe that love is love, Black lives matter, accessibility is for everyone and that there is no perfectly ethical business inside Capitalism. We believe change comes from within the systems, so we're here to do our part in tht changemaking.

Some folks have been in the business game for decades, while others are just starting out. Some are spiritual, but not religious. Some are very woo-woo, and others are woo-adjacent. I don't consider myself a social justice activist, but some of my clients are. 

I believe that it's my job to create a judgement-free zone so people can be fully-seen and safely held and do the REAL work of mapping out their best year yet!

LET'S GO!

retreat Location

This year, we're working from a suite at the gorgeous Hilton hotel in downtown Vancouver, Washington, just over the river from Portland - and minutes from the airport! 

Our suite has a spacious balcony and a wonderful view of Esther Short Park, home to the Vancouver Farmers Market.  The Hilton is about a block from the Vancouver Waterfront park, and there are plenty of shops and eateries in the vibrant downtown area.

With only 10 attendees, there's plenty of room to spread out and work or relax and unwind in the suite or on the property.

high praise from...

I was about to just give up . . .

“Lisa can help you find the right fit for you, in terms of moving forward in your business. When I started working with her, I was about to just give up and move to Southeast Asia, and I thought that this whole business thing was just bullshit, and I just needed to stop. “She was able to help me get my priorities in line and start being a CEO and not just a worker. In the course of the time that we’ve worked together, I have more than doubled my business. I made more in February than I did in all of the previous year. And she has given me so much motivation and support, and I always feel like my work with her helps me be so much more effective, and better at being the leader, the coach, and the therapist that I want to be.“

'I couldn’t have done it without you' feels like an understatement.

Thank you for the help during the insanity of the launch of my podcast. If it wasn’t for you, I know my launch wouldn’t have been successful. Thanks to your support, the show not only stayed in New & Noteworthy for all 3 categories PLUS all of iTunes, it then spent another 8 weeks in “What’s Hot”. The promotions helped me gain social followers, grew my email subscribers, and helped me enjoy the launch process more. To say 'I couldn’t have done it without you' feels like an understatement.

More money than ever... and a life built around what's important to me

One of Lisa’s superpowers (among many) is seeing greatness in people, even when they can’t see it in themselves. Her X-Ray vision and expert guidance has helped me own the truth of who I am and what I’m able to accomplish. Since we started working together, I’ve made more money than I ever have in business for myself. And I’m living a life built around what’s most important to me. That’s the good stuff right there. Lisa, you rock. Thanks for everything. You’ve shown this weirdo it’s ok to be weird and still make a profit.

I stopped listening to the lies...

It wasn't until I stopped listening to the lies and worked with you and got FOCUS that works for ME that things shifted. You can quote me on that!

Seriously! I came to Lisa and, within 30 minutes, I had a plan. This seemed like nothing short of a miracle to me. If you are looking for someone to help you, Lisa is your girl. 30 minutes... unreal!
