I am. She is. We are.

A Women's Leadership Retreat hosted by The Sherpa Library

April 19 - 22, 2026  | Lexington, KY

RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE

Leadership begins with self-awareness and expands through relationships.

Join us for an immersive retreat designed to reconnect you 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.

Why This Retreat Matters

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 This Retreat is For

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.

The Experience

Set against the rolling hills of Kentucky horse country, expect a blend of guided workshops, small-group dialogue, and embodied learning practices that take leadership development beyond the classroom.

Along the way, you’ll take part in experiences you’ve never had before — including equine coaching and other unique, immersive activities that reveal how you communicate, build trust, and lead with presence.

Over three days, you’ll examine the patterns that shape your leadership, explore the dynamics of your closest relationships, and learn how to repair and renew professional connections.

By understanding what you bring to the table and how others experience your leadership, you’ll gain the insight and confidence to lead with authenticity and compassion.

What You Will Take Away

Before we can create meaningful Impact on Business (IOB™), we must first ground ourselves in intention: how we show up, what we value, and why we lead the way we do. From that place of clarity and purpose, true impact naturally follows: not just in what we achieve, but in how we connect, collaborate, and lead every day.

Through a blend of deep introspection, courageous vulnerability, and immersive, out-of-the-box learning experiences, you’ll uncover what it truly means to lead from presence. This is not your typical leadership training. It’s a life-changing experience that invites you to reconnect with your truth, your purpose, and your peace — to quiet the noise long enough to hear what’s been waiting within you all along. 

You’ll leave not only with practical tools, but with renewed clarity, calm, and connection — the kind that sustains you long after the retreat ends. To support that continued growth, you’ll join a post-retreat peer coaching pod, offering an ongoing circle of support and accountability as you integrate what you’ve learned into your leadership and your life.
