I am. She is. We are.

A Women's Leadership Retreat hosted by The Sherpa Library

April 19 - 22, 2026  | Lexington, KY

UNLOCK DEEPER IMPACT

Discover What’s Possible When Women Lead Together

Step away from the noise and into an immersive retreat designed to help you reconnect with yourself, deepen your trust in other women, and reimagine what collective leadership can look like. Inspired by the book, I Am. She Is. We Are.written by Dani Redder and DeCoffette Ward, this experience is your opportunity to step away from the noise and reconnect with the truth of who you are and how you lead.

Over three days, you’ll explore what it means to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion — not by doing more, but by leading differently.

Lead Beyond the Systems That Were Not Built for You

For generations, women have been asked to lead in systems that weren’t built for us. Our leadership styles are expected to fit a mold that was never made for us — one that rewards self-sacrifice, constant composure, and silent strength.

But the world needs something different now. It needs leaders who lead from wholeness, who embrace both power and vulnerability, and who model a new kind of courage rooted in authenticity.

This retreat is an invitation to unlearn the conditioning that keeps you small and to remember the power that comes from leading as your full self.


Who Should Attend?

This retreat is for women navigating leadership in every form:

—  Executives, entrepreneurs, and educators who are shaping teams and organizations.

 Executive women juggling it all — home life, children, and the intensity of demanding careers — who are ready to find balance without losing themselves.

— Women in transition, rediscovering their voice, their confidence, and a deeper sense of purpose in this next chapter of leadership and life.

If you’re ready to lead with intention, authenticity, and connection, this space was created for you. Reserve your spot here.

Over three days, you’ll work directly with these two authors and explore I Am. She Is. We Are. to elevate your voice, your connections, and your leadership impact.

I am.

I am.

Reconnect with your voice, values, and power.

Explore the patterns, conditioning, and stories that shape your leadership and rediscover what it means to lead from wholeness.

She is.

She is.

Rebuild trust and redefine how women support women.

Learn to amplify each other’s voices, dissolve competition, and cultivate the kind of connection that transforms teams and communities.

We are.

We are.

Translate your inner clarity into external impact.

Together, we’ll explore how conscious, courageous leadership ripples outward — shaping culture, systems, and the way we lead change.
