WHEN : 5-8th October 2023
WHERE : Isle of Palms, SC
Since Empowered Performance started in October of 2019 with the first beta test, I have been overwhelmed with the incredible community experience that has developed. Truly, it is beyond my wildest dreams. I have wanted to offer an in person educational experience for quite sometime but there have been life hiccups along the way. In some ways I believe this was a blessing in disguise, as it allowed the community to thrive and grow in a way I never could have imagined. This retreat is designed to foster community while empowering you to apply concepts in the most meaningful way possible. The entire retreat will be an experiential learning environment. I will be learning from you on night one so I can understand exactly what YOU need. You will use the knowledge you have both from EP and all of your learning, and work in small groups to hone your skills, and learn how to go from point A to point Z so you can feel even more empowered to be the coach you already know you are. This is not about didactic learning, we can do that online anytime, but about taking what you know and providing a WHY behind it that brings so much more meaning to yourself as a professional and to the people you work with as clients so you can create connection and change in yourself and others.
The retreat will take place at the Wild Dunes resort on Isle of Palms, SC. Isle of palms is a beautiful beach just 30 minutes from downtown charleston. The resort that will host the event, and act as our home base but we will also be visiting my local gym just 20 minutes away for a practical portion on Day 2. The resort itself has multiple restaurants, pools, beach front access, courtyards, fire-pits, and beautiful accommodations. My family has done many staycations there over the years. It is the perfect spot to take a walk on the beach, go for a swim in the ocean, sip your morning coffee, or workout in the resort gym with your colleagues from EP. There are also many hotel and Air B and B or VRBO options in the area that may be more cost effective.

Itinerary:
(approximation / to be decided closer to retreat start)
DAY 1 // SELF DISCOVERY
4pm :
arrival
5pm ~ 7pm :
KICK OFF SESSION: This session is meant to help us create a collective experience by sharing your "WHY" with the community and discovering the areas you are already proficient in and the areas we need to spend more time developing to enhance your learning experience. You will receive a workbook for the weekend to guide you through the entire experience and it all starts with "YOUR WHY." This session will be recorded for anyone that cannot make it in that afternoon.
Afterwards:
Dinner together at a local restaurant so we can just hang and FINALLY get to meet each other!!! I have a feeling we will find it hard to stop hanging out! This is included in the course / retreat fee.
DAY 2 // BUILDING TRUST AND SETTING THE FOUNDATION
8am ~ 1pm:
We have the conference room booked and will start with breakfast and coffee as we discover the group "gaps" and lean into those.
As a coach in EP you are wanting to master your understanding of the material and be able to sense it in your own body and help others sense it in theirs. Feeling like you have a good grasp is part of feeling autonomous and capable. I don’t want you to feel like you need me or anyone else to validate your decisions. I want you to trust your decisions and recognize that there is no wrong. Day 1 is focused on assessment, breathing strategies, predicting outcomes and having to reframe. We will be breaking out into small groups and starting our own group or personal case study as the weekend progresses.
1 - 3pm:
Lunch on your own
3:00 ~ 8:00 pm:
Included in your sign up is a private boat eco tour to a beautiful natural, undeveloped island off the coast. We will have a crab boil dinner on the island and just have more time to connect in the ultimate of rejuvenating natural spaces. This is included in the course / retreat fee.
DAY 3 // DEVELOPING STRENGTH AND POWER
Morning: Wake up whenever you want and breakfast is up to you. You may want to go for a swim, walk the beach or checkout the resort pools or gym or even explore downtown Charleston.
11am -12pm:
We will start in the conference room at the resort to pick up on the road map we have started to create in our work book and map out an initial programming plan.
12:00pm:
Transport to Gold Gym: This is included in the course / retreat fee.
12:30-4:30:
The foundation of EP is POWER! It began with my desire to have everyone experience a more resilient athletic body and this day is all about building that foundation. Plan on going through plyometrics, dynamic movements, main lifts and accessory work as we go through the work book and simultaneously develop a full program for our group or personal case study. Expect to move and break out into small groups throughout the session. Lunch this day? I might just get some wraps or something simple that we have in the conference room and then can bring to golds and I'll suggest so everyone to get a good breakfast that day.
5 pm:
Enjoy some time on your own or hanging out with friends at the resort or anywhere you choose for the evening. We will meet back up in the morning.
DAY 4 // ENJOY / DEPART
Morning: We will enjoy a beautiful 8am morning yoga led by Maggie Umberger and a light breakfast together. There will be a short recap of the weekend, time for Q and A and time to shed some tears of joy and sadness for the weekend to end. 😩 This session will be recorded for anyone that has to leave earlier that morning.
xxxx time: check out from rooms for those staying at the resort (this is totally dependent on them)
