Join us on Friday, June 9th for Realign & Recharge: A Something Major Women’s Leadership Retreat at The Four Seasons Hotel & Spa in Georgetown.
Retreat Impact: Hosted by author, Something Major Founder, and certified women’s leadership coach, Randi Braun, we're thrilled to be back at The Four Seasons for an experience that past attendees have described as "absolutely perfect," "transformational" and "exactly what I needed."
June 2023 Theme: Our June retreat will focus on the topic of Reimagining Wellbeing, Leadership & Longevity, workshopping actionable content from Braun's new book Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work.
Calendar Considerations: Our retreats consistently sell out and this is the final time we plan to host a Realign & Recharge Retreat this year.
Sign up or learn more about the day’s agenda, cost, and FAQs below. We've had women travel from as far as Oregon to join us, and we hope you'll join us this year as well!
"As a two-time participant in Something Major Retreats, I have been equally amazed and impressed by the quality of conversation, instant camaraderie of women from completely different backgrounds, and the ease at which Randi facilitates thought-provoking discussion. Attending this annual event is the investment in yourself and your wellbeing that you didn’t know you needed."
- 'Iolani Bullock, VP of DEI at The Carlyle Group & Author of "Lenox Takes Flight"
Retreat Agenda & Details:
AM: Realigning Mind & Body
Coffee & Connect: We'll begin the day with an opportunity to network with other women over coffee and light refreshments.
Welcome & Reimagining Wellbeing, Leadership & Longevity Workshop by Randi Braun: Our wellbeing is critical-- especially when we feel too busy to prioritize it in our stretched-too-thin-work-lives. In this workshop, you will learn the five self care myths (and how to overcome them) that keep high-performing women running on fumes; as well as build an individualized game plan for investing in your leadership and longevity by prioritizing your wellbeing.
Nourishing Vinyasa Flow Yoga: After realigning our minds, we’ll realign our body with a nourishing vinyasa flow yoga class. This class is suitable for all levels.
PM: Recharging Our Spirit
Lunch & Wine Tasting: To recharge our spirits, following yoga we’ll sit down for a delicious lunch accompanied by a wine tasting with The Four Seasons’ own sommelier.
Dessert Tasting & Completion Exercise: We'll end the day with a final chance to connect over coffee and a leisurely dessert tasting, followed by a completion exercise and closing remarks from Randi.
Attire: Keeping it casual and relaxed, leggings/yoga clothes are required. Ponytails are not required, but strongly encouraged.

Standard Registration: $995/person
Work Wives Discount: Registration is reduced to $950/person when you sign up with a work wife. Past retreats have featured mentor/mentee pairs, bosses and their HI-PO, girlfriends, and even sisters.
Pro Tip #1 - Ask Your Employer to Sponsor Your Seat: About 50% of our participants have their employer sponsor their participation as a leadership development and/or networking experience, while half of our attendees self-sponsor. Reach out for a copy of our Business Case Kit if you’re interested in learning more about how your employer might sponsor your participation as a leadership development and/or networking experience (randi@somethingmajorcoaching.com).

Rooms are first-come-first-served and must be booked after registration is completed.

FAQs:
Who is this for? Any woman who is looking to level up her leadership at work by reimagining her wellbeing and connecting with other like-minded women who are invested in doing the same.
Do I need to be vaccinated to come? YES. If you’re unvaccinated, we ask you to please sit this one out and we look forward to having you at a future event.
What’s included? The day’s agenda above, which includes the workshop, yoga class, lunch, wine tasting, and light refreshments in the morning upon arrival.
This sounds fun, but will I leave with anything tangible? Yes, in addition to leaving re-energized after an inspiring and restorative day, you will leave with your own Reimagining Wellbeing game plan and a key concepts cheat sheet.
Will this event be held indoors or outdoors? We plan to hold this event outdoors using a space that can provide cover in the event of rain. In the event of severe weather (e.g. dangerously heavy or disruptive storms or wind), we will work with The Four Seasons on a safe modification that balances Covid precautions with inclement-weather-safety precautions.
Will there be food? Yes, we’ll have a luxurious food and beverage program, including light refreshments in the morning and lunch, wine-tasting, and dessert in the afternoon.
What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies? No problem - that's what we love about our partners at The Four Seasons: they take care of everything. Please share those after you register and please also alert the staff the day of the event.
Is there parking? Parking is not included, but retreat attendees will receive a discounted rate of $42/day. We will be drinking wine so please plan to make your transportation plans responsibly.
What else do I need to know? Just like you’d sign a waiver any time you go to a new exercise studio, we’ll ask you to sign one when you arrive at the retreat. A signed waiver will be required to participate.
