Have you ever paused to watch light filter through trees, felt moved by a piece of music, or been overcome by the vastness of the night sky? These are moments of awe—and according to research, they’re not just beautiful, they’re essential.
Drawing on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Dacher Keltner—whose study of awe spans 25 cultures—this retreat offers an evidence-based, soul-nourishing invitation: to reclaim awe as a daily practice. Studies now show that consistent experiences of awe can reduce stress, quiet anxiety, ease isolation, and reconnect us to something greater than ourselves.
But what if awe feels distant? What if stress, fatigue, or numbness have dulled your sense of wonder?
In this retreat, Kristi Leonard, PCC, MBA, gently guides you in retraining your attention and awakening to the awe already available in your life. Through reflection, storytelling, guided practices, and shared experience, you’ll uncover your unique connection to awe—and craft a personal plan for integrating it into your daily rhythms.
Whether you’re feeling deeply connected or deeply weary, this retreat offers a sacred pause. Come as you are. Leave with a renewed capacity to see beauty, feel reverence, and carry a sense of wonder into the ordinary and extraordinary moments of your life.
