When you sign up for our retreat waitlist, you will also get our Soul's Calling Newsletter:
The reason that so many brilliant healers, helpers teachers and guides don't do the real, sacred work that they came here to do is because they can't see themselves. They've forgotten the reason they're here and they have been trying really hard to blend in and be invisible.
But when you can't see your self, you won't claim your brilliance. And paradoxically, it takes being seen to see your self.
When you spend your whole life fitting in, you don't know what makes you stand out.
You were born to stand out. You were born to be unflinchingly and unapologetically YOU.
In the Soul & Sisterhood retreat you'll get seen, so that you can see yourself!
Once you see how amazing you are and how truly different you are from everyone else, then you need to dare to decide to BE YOU. It's simple but difficult. I means that you stop following other peoples' rules, and you identify the ways you've been socially programmed and dump what no longer fits.
This is a risk because you may have been meeting other people's expectations for most of your life, without ever considering what is right for you. You've also likely been hiding your most spectacular intuitive and creative gifts. Now is the time to be the powerful woman you were born to be, fully embodying the gifts you were given, and releasing what no longer fits!
And you know what helps to do that?
Sisterhood, space, belly laughs, play, purpose and connection...everything you'll get in this get-away winter retreat!
Does any of this sound like you?
You're tired of just standing in the background and being an observer. You feel deeply and ache to bring hope and healing to people. You are always working on yourself, trying to be better, do better, be kinder. You care about the imprint that you leave on the world. You have a huge heart and you're a guiding light for so many and you're always humble, probably too humble. You don't take credit for all the good you already do. Highly intuitive and empathic, you give others a safe place to be seen and truly heard.
And when you can't see your SELF, you won't claim it, and when you don't claim who you truly are, you won't do what you were meant to do....you just go along with what's expected of you, because you don't see your hidden gifts or your own unique life's purpose.
If this or anything below, sounds like you, the Soul & Sisterhood Winter 2020 retreat was made for you.
As Steven Pressfield says: “The more important an activity is to your soul’s evolution, the more resistance your will feel.”
If you are feeling an urgency to do what you came here to do, you are hearing the call of your soul. You know it’s time to stop hiding who you really are – but it’s so scary and overwhelming and confusing....particularly if you don't know what makes you unique, or you wonder if you even have any special talents, or you are constantly trying so hard to be what other people expect you to be!
Connecting to your dazzling light, your unique genius is the personal power that you need to outwit fear and resistance.
You'll get safety, sisterhood, space and time to be AWAY from your regular life. You'll be expertly guided using well-tested, exquisitely designed Soul's Calling™ exercises & methodology. You'll have permission to be unflinchingly and unapologetically yourself.

You"ll escape to a transformative getaway at the Alpina Lodge in the Nordik Spa-Nature in beautiful Chelsea, Quebec (20 minutes from the Ottawa airport).
The Nordik Spa-Nature is located at the entrance of beautiful Gatineau Park, Quebec. Just 15 minutes from Parliament Hill, Gatineau park covers 361 square kilometres and lies in an area where the Canadian Shield meets the St. Lawrence Lowlands and where the Ottawa River meets the Gatineau River. This natural park land has a unique and diversified ecosystem that you'll experience.
This is a natural oasis in a beautiful city. If you've never been to Canada's capital region - you've bypassed a well-kept secret. Our lodge has a full kitchen, wood burning fireplace, sauna and wi-fi access. You'll also have daily unlimited access to the Spa's Thermal Experience. We’ll be hanging out here every day!
You'll stay at the magnificent DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Gatineau-Ottawa and be transported to the Nordik Spa-Nature each morning by our magical car service.
Enjoy the peace, beauty and connection of our daily meetings and then cocoon in your private hotel room at the Double-Tree Hilton each night. Or choose to double up and share the costs!
You'll stay 5 days and 4 nights. Check-in by 4pm on February 9 and join us at the Nordik Spa Nature that evening to get to know each other, eat & relax in the hot pools.
We begin our workshop portion on Monday February 10 at 9:00 am. We’ll finish on Thursday February 13 at 3 pm – with a leisurely celebration lunch.
You’ll deep dive into your own personal situation in these private coaching sessions. Use them to help you get super clear on your soul's niche, to identify or loosen old blockages or current life difficulties, fear and resistance, or to get clarity on what you are really called to do – which might not be coaching in the traditional sense.
Even though we dive deep, this work isn’t solemn and serious. It’s fun, and it’s playful. You’ll have belly laughs, and you’ll probably shed a few tears. I can promise you, that you’ll feel safe to be exactly who you are…warts and all.
A sisterhood is a deep soul connection with others. The bonds of sisterhood are built with love, and the desire to see each-other rise to their full potential.
Your retreat sisters will hold you up when you doubt and support you when life gets in the way of your dreams. Your Soul Sisters will help you to be the “real” you and drop the pretense. They will see your beauty when you can’t see your own. They will remind you over and over again who you really are, when your mind wants to forget.
So many people who have attended our intensive retreats have told us it would be great to work with us longer, and get ongoing support, connection & sisterhood to integrate the aha moments and learnings from the retreat even further.
That's why we're offering you the option to join The Life Coach Sisterhood for nine months of ongoing support and additional coaching as you create and define your soul's work. In the Life Coach Sisterhood, we meet for three support & coaching calls monthly along with monthly masterclasses, and support and mentoring through a private online group. You can learn more here.
"This entire experience has been life-changing. I have always experienced small groups to be very powerful but this one tops them all. I am amazed by Bev’s intuition and soulful ability to mentor and lead. The incredible soul connections and surprising “coincidences” were like seeing fireworks that inspired me and made me feel very much at home. Today I have clarity and focus around who I am, my amazing gifts and my purpose. I feel comfortable with myself, and I’m confident with building my coaching practice. "
"As a result of the retreat, I discovered so much about myself that I wouldn’t have been able to on my own. I knew that spending time figuring out my gifts was very important to my future. Bev was an amazing facilitator. Her wisdom, kindness, gentleness and her ability to push us to important realizations was beyond price. In addition, having other like-minded, supportive women in the group was invaluable."
"Bev has created an invaluable workshop to help you get clarity on your soul’s calling. When I signed up for the workshop I was in fairly dark despair feeling that I had wallowed in Square 1 for years if not decades. The combination of exercises, mapping our life’s journey and the support of the workshop “sisters” worked miracles to give me clarity. Best of all, however, is Bev’s wizardry at honing in on exactly what is holding you back. With one sentence she seems to be able to open up doors of possibility that I didn’t even know were there."
"I’ve watched Bev’s magic-making results with people for years, so I decided to experience it myself. Her retreat/program is about seeing yourself and seeing the power in that. It's amazing to see where you've been and the life-orchestration, outside of you own control, that brings you to where you are even if at times it seems there's no one conducting your own unique life! There could be no explanation but the divine and your own soul working together. Add intuitive women and being seen, challenged, and witnessed with love, and doing the same for them? Magic... "
"Working with Bev Barnes is life changing. In this retreat, I was able to connect with liked minded women, discover new gifts I wasn’t aware I had and most importantly, they were then mirrored back to me. I felt safe and truly supported in this learning environment. I’m so grateful for this experience. I walked away feeling more confident and most of all, clear about the direction I want to take my coaching and photography business."
"As a coach who had been struggling for a few years to really gain traction on my business I just didn’t have the “why” behind my coaching. Bev had an absolutely amazing way of having each of the participants look at the threads and experiences in their lives to help us “see” what has been there all along. I am now embarking on creating a business from that deep level of my soul rather than what I “thought” I wanted to create. It was both powerful and magical, and could not have been a more supportive environment in which to uncover that which I had so desperately searched for."
"This retreat blew all my expectations away and left me excited about the next chapter on my journey. I profoundly feel changed at my core level, and it’s hard to explain. For the first time in my life, I feel connected to who I am, what my gifts are and how I can use those gifts to help others."
"I joined this retreat to figure out a focus for my coaching business. I did get that, but I got a lot more! This retreat is all about self-discovery. I cleared out the last of my limiting beliefs and opened myself up to success as a coach as a result. I definitely would highly recommend this to any coach. Outside of the content, which was top notch, the setting was also wonderful. We had plenty of time for self-care and relaxation. We had wonderful meals and long breaks in the evening to chat with fellow coaches, who quickly became “soul sisters.” This is truly a sisterhood, and I have wonderful new friends that I’ll probably have forever! Bev’s gift is helping people to really know themselves, and after that, to show it in their business. "
"Here I was 18 months after my coach training was over wondering…...what next? I knew I wanted to be a coach – to help people find their direction in life. I think I always knew it, but had forgotten. I wasn’t sure if I chose my niche right – I kept changing it. I enrolled in Bev’s See Your Soul Retreat and not only found what I can do – I found what I’m meant to do."
The focus of our short evening session when you arrive is connection. We’ll create intentions for the program and the retreat and you’ll start getting to know the group and our location. Plan to arrive and get checked in at the DoubleTree Hilton by 4pm. You'll get transported to the Nordik Spa-Nature where we'll have a light meal together and can take advantage of the thermic Spa for some rest and relaxation before we start our first full day.
The focus of our first full day is self-discovery. The day is designed to help you see your own gifts and examine your divine discontent. By the end of Day Two, you “get” that you really are unique, and you’ll be able to see the magic in each person that is present. This is where real connections begin to form.
We start the day with drawing exercises that connect you to the right brain. (Don’t worry, no artistic talent is required!) You’ll be shocked at how much your subconscious already knows about what you want, that you aren’t consciously aware of.
You’ll see just how different you are from everyone else that is present — even though you have similar passions and desires. I’ve done this exercise many times with clients, and it’s always mind-boggling! You finally let go of the false belief that you have nothing different to offer.
In short, this day feels like a love-in. You’ll end the day with a smile, bubbling with excitement and the desire to dig even deeper.
On our second full day, you'll focus on the hidden parts of you — the parts of you that you don’t usually share, the shadow parts that you’ve disowned. This might include excavating your ego-based and ancestral fears (fears you’ve inherited) or becoming aware of sub-personalities that are no longer useful.
Your purpose lies behind your pain, so you’ll be shining a light on the painful parts of your life to uncover your core message and your soul’s purpose. You’ll clear the forest of your ego-self so that your soul-self can emerge.
You’ll also get coached by Bev, either personally or through hearing someone else get coached.
Day Two is a deep-dive and, although it can be tough, it’s rewarding. You’ll have plenty of time at the end of this day to integrate and make meaning of your life lessons which are both light and dark.
When you wake up on Day Three, you’ll feel like a shift has happened. You’ve released something. You'll become aware of the patterns that have been holding you back and start naming and moving through what gets in your way. You'll connect with your real source of power - your soul's purpose. We’ll spend the day outside, snoeshowing, walking, and spa daying! You'll get personally coached. You’ll release even more old fears and blockages.
We’ll end this day with an optional group meal to celebrate all that you’ve already accomplished!
Our final day ends at 3pm. This day is filled with celebration and integration. When we gather together, each person receives honest and loving feedback from everyone in the group. This experience is mind-blowing and transformative, as you allow yourself to simply receive.
We round out the day with you completing your personal Soul's Work Soul Blueprint. By the end of this day, you’re clear on exactly what your next steps are and which commitments you are ready to make. We’ll end after lunch.
Although Day Four is an exhilarating celebration, it’s also bittersweet because we must say goodbye to each other (for now!). The good news is that this isn’t the end for the group. If you join the Life Coach Sisterhood, you can keep up the momentum with support from people who see the real you and will help you to move forward.
At the RETREAT at the beautiful Spa Nordik in Chelsea, Quebec, you'll unlock your soul's purpose and get clear on what makes you unique and amazing. You'll get seen, so you can see yourself & remember what you came here to do.
You'll create a deep bond with your soul sisters. You'll use your genius with your soul sisters, get the support you need to stop hiding. You won't be alone anymore. And if you are a member of the Life Coach Sisterhood, this support just continues to grow!
You'll have two (2) laser focused, one-on-one coaching calls - one with Bev and one with Nicole. These calls are invaluable. You'll get clear on your soul's niche and gain confidence and clarity to get going and keep going!
