About this trip

Join Imaginal Venture's CEO and Founder, Dorothy Spence, and Feminine Embodiment Coach, Steph Chee, for an exclusive 5-night, 6-day executive retreat in Kona, Hawaii. This luxury experience is designed for conscious entrepreneurs and leaders seeking to elevate their personal and professional performance.


Real Prosperity is not just about finding peace amidst the demands of leadership – it's about leveraging that peace to catalyze unprecedented prosperity in all aspects of your professional life.


Set against the backdrop of Kona's stunningly sunny coastline, this experience offers a unique blend of professional development and personal transformation. Here, immersed in the natural beauty of the Big Island, you'll find the ideal environment to step back, reflect, and refocus on what truly drives success and fulfillment in both business and life.


Key Focus Areas:

  • The Peace-Prosperity Connection: Understand how inner calm translates to clearer strategic thinking and more impactful leadership. Explore how your perceptions of money, work, and self-worth impact your leadership and decision-making.
  • Enhance Mental Clarity and Focus: Learn practical breathwork, meditation and mantra manifestation techniques derived from the Vishoka Meditation system, designed to increase mental acuity and emotional resilience in high-pressure situations.
  • Develop Sustainable Success Strategies: Develop approaches to foster a culture of both peace and productivity within your organization to maintain balance and prevent burnout while driving innovation and growth in your organization.
  • Cultivate Authentic Leadership In Action: Discover how aligning your leadership style with your inner values creates a more resilient and prosperous business model.
  • Expand Your Leadership Horizon: Engage in nature-based island adventures that bring you out of your comfort zone, fostering adaptability, wonder and awe – capacities crucial for modern leadership.

Our time together balances intensive learning with opportunities for personal rest, reflection and nature immersion:

  • 2x/daily yoga and breathwork sessions to enhance physical and mental agility led by Steph 
  • Daily interactive workshops on leadership, strategic thinking, and organizational culture led by Dorothy
  • Guided meditation practices for stress reduction and improved decision-making
  • Structured networking sessions with fellow leaders and founders
  • Conscious leadership planning sessions to apply new insights to your business challenges
  • Invigorating island excursions and adventures, including snorkeling, surfing and other ocean-centered activities to cultivate courage and adaptability in unfamiliar environments

All of our carefully selected adventures are designed to stretch your mindset, expand your perspective, and get you out of your comfort zone. By facing new challenges in unfamiliar settings, you'll develop greater flexibility, resilience, and innovative thinking - all crucial qualities for effective leadership in today's rapidly changing business landscape.


This exclusive retreat is limited to 8 participants, ensuring personalized attention and meaningful peer interactions. It's an opportunity to step away from daily operations and gain fresh perspectives that can drive significant long-term value for your organization.


Invest in your personal growth, expand your professional toolkit, and connect with a network of like-minded leaders. Return to your role refreshed, focused, and equipped with practical strategies to lead with greater clarity, purpose, and effectiveness. This isn't just a retreat – it's a strategic investment in your leadership journey and your organization's future.

Reviews

I met wonderful people. The sessions were incredibly thoughtful and I appreciated learning new things. The food was amazing and Chelsea was very kind. The support and camaraderie was impressive. The sleeping situation was not what I expected. I assumed from the description each person would have a med room with a private bathroom. I loved being in nature and the barn was perfect.

What an incredible retreat experience with Steph and Amie in Baja this past week! They both facilitated a very wonderful retreat for female leaders. It was a perfect mix of yoga, workshops, discussions, free time, and adventure activities. They were welcoming, friendly, and fun - making the whole experience wonderful. The location was incredible, the retreat center was top-notch on every level. The food was amazing, the rooms were spacious, the massages were incredible, the pool was lovely..and all of this was just steps away from the ocean with whale sightings every day! I highly recommend doing a retreat with Steph and Amie!
