Launching a podcast is a fabulous and challenging objective. It is is a journey of self-exploration, confidence, and determination that requires a deep sense of connection to yourself and to your purpose. This is why we decided to organize this retreat in a unique wilderness oasis on the border of Mexico & Arizona. The property, owned by Valer Clark, used to be a depleted land and is now a beautiful ranch filled with wildlife, water and art. It is one of the few real-life land restoration experimentation studied by scientists around the world, a safe haven that will transport you far from the hustle of every day life into a magnificent 130,000 acres of private ecological paradise where you’ll reconnect to nature, vision & purpose

Because we know that sometimes digital is not enough, you’ll get a full printed version of the material to make notes as we go during the podcast retreat.
Because podcasting is a transformation journey that is much easier when you are supported by a community and because we want to encourage mutual help and accountability, you will gain access to our exclusive Facebook group where all questions, comments and updates are welcome!
Because the retreat is the kick starting point of your adventure, we’ll send you a series of accountability check points and additional tips after the retreat to make sure you put your plan in motion!
Because we believe in the necessity for women podcasts to make their voices heard and the necessity to welcome more women in the media landscape, but we also understand that sometimes costs can be an issue, we wanted to offer the possibility for some of our participants to access to scholarships. We partnered with Democracy Lab who shares our most sacred values and believes in the power of innovative technology to empower people to be heard and share their message for social good to offer 2 scholarships to fund your retreat experience.
