Retreat Theme

ABUNDANCE EMBODIMENT.

Whether you are joining WPR for the first time or returning, you will find something to both receive and give at this year's event. For as powerful women, we learn and grow from one another.

 

This year's event will seek to expand upon the wisdom of those who've been a part of past WPRs, while also inviting new women into the journey.

This year we'll be focusing on the topic of abundance embodiment. As many of us believe in the concept of abundance, yet very few of us fully embody it. That's because human default conditioning is a scarcity mentality.

 

When we are attached to a perception of "not enough," we tend to create scarcity in various aspects of our lives. Whether in our finances or career, personal and professional fulfillment, love and relationships, or even health.

 

This year's retreat is designed to help attendees have a profound shift in perception: That abundance isn't something you seek, it's something you tune into.

 

As it's only through having this shift, from within, that helps you embody the totality of abundance that's available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

How do I book my ticket to attend the Women's Purpose Retreat?

This is an invitation-only event. If you'd like to be considered to attend, please email us at: Info@JessicaJoines.com. Upon approval, you will receive a password protected Eventbrite link that you can use to purchase your ticket and learn about other important information related to the event.

Does the price of the ticket include accommodations?

The price of the retreat ticket is $2,600 + $995 for 3 nights lodging (Total = $3,595). Upon receiving the Eventbrite invitation, you will be able to reserve your ticket and accommodations. The price includes two full days of programming, yoga, coaching, retreat activities and all food and beverage. Your lodging cost is for a single hotel room (in room incidentals are not included in the price).

Where is the retreat located and how do I book my lodging?

This year's retreat is being held at Serenbe Inn just outside of Atlanta, GA. Accommodations can only be booked through the password-protected Eventbrite link; not directly with the venue. The discounted rate of $995 for 3 nights in a single room includes hotel fees and local taxes. After securing your reservation, you will receive information about your room assignment approximately 2-3 weeks before the event begins. To explore Serenbe Inn, visit: serenbeinn.com. Please note, a credit card will be required upon check-in to the hotel for any incidentals. 

Can I book accommodations for less or more than 3 nights stay?

To attend the retreat, you must book accommodations for 3 night stay, per our contract with the venue. If you would like to stay longer than the 3-nights please book directly through the hotel website.

What are the travel dates and other key logistics?

Event dates are Nov. 1-4. You should plan to arrive to Serenbe on Wednesday, November 1st, by 4pm. Departure is anytime the morning of November 4th. While it might be tempting to leave the night prior, you will miss the closing ceremony, which lasts until approximately 9pm. And out of respect for your fellow attendees, we ask that you commit to attending the entire experience.

 

How do I get to Serenbe?

You are responsible for arranging your own travel arrangements to Serenbe. For those who don't live in Georgia, you will be flying into the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport. From there, Serenbe is approximately a 30 min taxi or car sharing service ride.

 

What are your Covid-19 policies?

At this time, given the low infection rates across the Country, we are NOT requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test to attend this event. In the case that Covid numbers rise, we reserve the right to require a negative over-the-counter, rapid test to attend WPR. Out of respect to other attendees, we do ask if you contract Covid and are still contagious (testing positive) at the time of the event, that you not attend.

 

What is your refund policy? 

Please be sure you fully understand our refund policy before purchasing your ticket as we have a very limited refund policy. No refunds for any situation or circumstance whatsoever are available. Due to our contractual agreements with the venue and being a Solopreneur-led business, no full or partial refunds are offered for anyone, no matter the situation or circumstance, including unforeseen illness, family emergencies (including death) or unexpected travel disruptions. However, on a case-by-case basis, attendees may receive a 1:1 coaching package equal to the value of their retreat ticket price, if they are unable to attend the event.

The price seems higher compared to other conferences. Why is this?

This is not a conference, but a highly intimate, carefully curated retreat experience. You are paying for intimacy. As there are a significant number of event production costs that are irrespective of headcount (i.e., technology, speaker fees, production help, etc.). Additionally, many larger conferences offset ticket costs through sponsorships, which are also challenging to come by for events with a smaller headcount (e.g., brands look for scale). Therefore, when considering the cost, please take into account the impact such a significant personal transformation experience with a small group of women will have on your life!

I'd like to be a speaker at the event. How can I be considered?

Because this is a peer-to-peer experience, the women we invite to attend are the same women we invite to speak. Therefore, all retreat attendees are considered. And those who book their tickets early are at the top of the consideration set. Please feel free to email us to discuss speaker topics.

 

Why is personal growth relevant to Executive Women?

Leadership isn't just about learning new skills, it's about "mastery over self." Which is why all leading executive coaching and development programs have a significant focus on mindset mastery, self-awareness and well-being. The more you grow as a person, the better leader you become.

 

What is the retreat attire?

Wear the clothes that represent the most authentic you. We recommend casual comfort and leaving ALL the business attire at home. Make sure to bring a variety of ensembles for both indoor and outdoor activities. Clothes for yoga and meditation as well as walking shoes are a necessity. Other than that, bring layers and a couple of options per day. We'll email attendees more details as we get closer to the event and when all programming has been finalized.  

 

How can I get my company to fund the cost?

The Women's Purpose Retreat is a one-of-a-kind experience for senior executive, C-Level women. In fact, there are very few opportunities for female executives to connect in a fashion that supports what they need to truly grow and evolve to the next level. While traditional conferences and networking have a purpose, they aren't always designed with the unique needs of women in mind. Therefore, supporting women in a time where equality still doesn't exist, in a way that allows them to hit new levels of growth, is something all companies can get behind. Just look at the testimonials from last year's retreat and you'll see, the power and impact of the Women's Purpose Retreat. Feel free to use this one-sheet to secure support and/or reach out to us for help positioning the cost to your company.

What are the opportunities available for corporate sponsors?

We have several opportunities for partner experiences. Feel free to email us at info@JessicaJoines.com to learn more.

“The Women's Purpose Retreat is a life-changing experience. I have been every single year; will continue to attend; and be a member of the WPC! Because as someone who has attended hundreds of events and conferences throughout my career and prides herself on being a high performance, wholehearted leader. I don't say this lightly, but WPR is truly a rare and unique opportunity where senior leaders can come together in an intimate setting to do deeply vulnerable personal growth work. The relationships I've built as part of this community have been transformative to both my personal and professional life.”

- Lori Ann Franklin, COO, Rakuten

"When I was invited to the very first retreat in 2018, I was sitting at point zero of my journey. Blindly joining with a silent question: What is purpose? There are many reasons I have continued to come back time and time again, now as a Women's Purpose Community member as well. First, the exposure to amazing women has enabled me to walk alongside strong leaders in a similar place as me. Next, the guidance from Jessica is full of inspiration and always includes the truths you need to hear. Her practical advice and self-study tools have been life changing.The content, speakers and take-aways always leave me feeling energized and excited about dedicating myself to creating change in my life."

"I have had the honor of attending the Women's Purpose Retreat since its inception. It has been and continues to be one of the most profound experiences of my life. The friendships I've made have changed me and supported my non-profit in ways I couldn't fathom. The work I am able to do on myself and support others in their journeys is at the heart of all I believe in. I'm grateful for what this community of women has meant to my life."
