Connected Leadership Retreat:
Guerneville, CA
*for payment plan options, email jess@leadandbewell.com“I highly and full-heartedly recommend attending a Connected Leadership Retreat! Especially if you're in need of a weekend in nature to (re)connect to YOURSELF with gentle encouragement and love from Jess Boots. She guides us to a necessary place of spaciousness and graciousness, which I'm finding is the only place from which we can really lead ourselves and others to wherever we are called to go. Jess is, to me, the perfect true mix of soft and strong. People try to be that, but she actually is it. And it inspires me endlessly! I also have so much appreciation for the varied activities spread out through the weekend (yoga, sun time, art, sound bathing, journaling, redwood tree walking) with enough time for us to just be with ourselves or to do whatever we need to do or not do. This is my second retreat and I come away always feeling so MYSELF.”
~ Brookie, Art Therapist
You’ll leave with
An evolved leadership identity and purpose
Practical tools to nourish your creativity, confidence, and communication
Energetic alignment and clarity
A refreshed and connected vision for your next chapter
“I left The Connected Leadership retreat feeling complete and connected. Connected to myself, to who and how I want to be with my family, Connected to new dreams. Connected to old friends, familiar faces, and new friends. I found the space and time to reflect to be luxurious and just what I needed to dream big.”
~Cori Maiden, Director of Structured Literacy
“This retreat was such a gift. Jessica is such a wonderful, authentic hostess and guide. She puts so much thought and care into the agenda and ensuring the weekend meets everyone right where they are. I left feeling restored and reinvigorated to take on this next season.”
Laura Guzman, founder, Book Society
Meet the Host
Hi!
One of my absolute favorite things in the entire world to do is bring incredible people together - that may or may not know each other - and facilitate experiences where they get to create connections, deepen relationships, and leave feeling inspired and grounded.
I also know that you are someone who holds A LOT. Goals for yourself, dreams for your families, intentions for your professional and personal pursuits, likely the safety and belonging of other communities (schools, families, pets, those for whom you are caregiving, teams, etc).
What I have learned from working with women just like you over the past years, is the power of allowing time for INTEGRATION. Intentional pauses during key moments in the day, week, month, and year. This might be a quick journal session at the end of the day, a more thorough reflection at the end of the month, or it could be a deep energetic cleanse and reset at the end of a season.
Originally, this retreat was an “Integration Retreat” for the women who joined me on the journey of writing "It's All Connected”, and it was the exhale we all needed after the magic of the year together. It was such a beautiful trip, and we decided then and there, it had to be a tradition.
So here we are. This June, I’m hosting the third “Connected Leadership: A chakra-inspired weekend retreat for women who lead” in Guerneville, CA for those desiring an intentional refresh from your busy life. If you are reading this, know that you landed here for a reason, and I would LOVE to have you join this retreat.
This June, we’ll gather just after the Summer Solstice, the time of year where there is the longest light, the peak moment of energy of the year. It’s the perfect backdrop to examine ABUNDANCE in our lives, CELEBRATE what is here and has been brought to light in the first half of the year, and RELEASE what has been completed and doesn’t need to be brought into the second half of the year. All applying to our lives and leadership roles.
This weekend will be perfect for grounding walks through the redwoods, relaxing afternoons by the pool, cozy campfire conversations, and transformational, intentional leadership workshops throughout. Yoga, a magical sound bath, delicious food, and plenty of time to journal included as well, obviously.
I would be over the moon to have you join us! Trust me, you’ll be so glad you invested this time in yourself and your leadership.
lots of love,
Jess
“The Connected Leadership Retreat is an amazing opportunity to connect with women from all walks of life, at every stage of life. If you have been called to dive into your wellness and need the protected time and space to do that, this retreat is the answer. I had the most joyous, love-filled experience surrounded by a rich female community who supported me, and would highly recommend this experience to others.”

FEMALE LEADERS: IMAGINE THIS
A weekend leadership and wellness retreat in the gorgeous glamping retreat getaway in Guerneville. Surrounded by nature, and just a few minutes walk to the cute downtown, this weekend will be the perfect blend of relaxation, connection, inspiration and integration.
Days will be balanced by leadership learnings (leadership identity and evolution, connections with others, embodied alignment), and wellness (yoga, Redwood forest strolls, riverside or poolside chats, free time to explore the cute small downtown). We will strategically move through the chakras - balancing both in our bodies as well as our leadership.
Inspired by the Summer Solstice, the peak moment in the year, we’ll focus on ABUNDANCE, CELEBRATION, and RELEASE in our life and leadership as well as each energetic center in the body. You’ll reconnect with your purpose and vision, and emerge feeling refreshed and clear about your leadership identity in your next season.
