Recharge, Refocus, Renew
Can you relate to any of the following?
- You feel a frustrating disconnect between your values, priorities, and daily activities
- Work-life balance continuously eludes you, or seems like the punch line to a cruel joke
- You are transitioning into a new role and could really use the mentorship of a woman who has been there before
- You want to reach the next level and need to accelerate your progress to get there
- Repeated setbacks have drained your energy and you don’t know how to replenish it
- Most of the training offered at your company overlooks the challenges you face as a woman
- You feel stuck in your current position and know you need to develop to move forward, but don’t know where to start
To say that it made an impact in my everyday life is an understatement. I met impressive met impressive women that I am going to make sure I don't lose contact with. I walked away with a sense of empowerment, mindfulness, and confidence that I don't think I have ever experienced before. I'm excited to put the tools I learned to work and have already felt much more in control of my life…”
You’re not alone.
Daily demands and obstacles can drain our energy, distract us from our purpose, and cloud our vision.
Success is personal. Every woman decides for herself what success looks like and what will be meaningful to her. That vision of success can change and evolve over time as circumstance, needs, and opportunities are experienced.
Are you ready to take the steps needed to move forward but haven’t found a course that seems to fit?
What if you could create the ideal experience to re-ignite your inner flame and develop the skills, relationships, and tools you need to thrive?
It would likely include…

- Sincere, enlightening discussions that lead to breakthrough insights and solutions.

The Women IGNITE! Experience
Women Ignite! is a powerful, transformational experience for women that past participants have called “life-changing”.
There is no better place to recharge and refocus than the historic town of Stillwater, MN. Kick off your retreat by coming early and biking the loop, strolling through antique shops and galleries, strolling along the river, or hiking one of the city’s 5 historic staircases.
Sunday Happy Hour
Your retreat officially begins with a happy hour Sunday evening where you’ll meet and begin to form a community with the other amazing women you’ll be spending time with over the next few days. It’s a fun filled evening with great food, valuable discussion, laughter, and new friendships.
Day 1: Monday
You’ll begin bright and early on Monday as Dr. Heather Johnson leads you through a series of challenging and insightful exercises, each new topic building on the last. You’ll practice each of these new skills as you progress through the topics, gaining confidence and igniting your personal and professional growth.
Monday Evening Dinner Cruise
Wrapping up the first full day you’ll be treated to a dinner cruise on a paddleboat where you’ll enjoy a MN BBQ as you cruise along the St. Croix River with great music and new friends and an opportunity to put new skills into practice outside of the ‘classroom’.
Day 2: Tuesday
On Tuesday you’ll begin once again bright and early, with more insight, exercise, practice, and deep discussion that is energizing, respectful, and validating. You’ll continue to share, learn from, and be inspired by this new community of Women IGNITE! friends, and they will continue learning and be inspired by you.
The retreat may officially come to an end, but you won’t want to leave. As we wrap up, you’ll make time for hugs, make plans to keep in touch, and like many others before you, may opt to gather with your new friends for dinner and fun somewhere unique in town to reminisce, share your favorite moments, and how the Women IGNITE! experience has impacted you.

The 'Women Ignite!' retreat at the Lowell Inn was amazing! Three days were a condensed collection of all I learned in my prior 53 years of continuing education. And a better learning experience because of the limited class size, the interaction of you and the attendees, the great location, the boat trip, and the discussions taking place even when not in class. I wish I could tell every woman 'Here Is Your Key To Succeed – GRAB IT!'. "
Working through the values exercise that Dr. Heather Johnson provided as pre-work was so enlightening to me and has made decision making easier. I now know where to look when I have conflicting priorities because not only have I identified my values, I’ve ranked them too."
