PRIVATE RETREAT INTENSIVES
For Life Crossroads
& Major Transitions
Ashland, Oregon
AT THE THRESHOLD
OF WHAT COMES NEXT
There are transitions in a life when what was is no longer sustainable, and what is to become, is not yet clear. A long career ending. A marriage that has changed or ended. A spouse had passed. An inheritance or business transition brings new choices. These crossroads ask for something different in the years ahead.
These moments, while often disorienting, also hold the keys to powerful new personal insights and openings into what is (often only just now) ready to be uncovered and lived. When met fully, these time of change offer an invitation to realign with wha tis most alive, true and meaningful now.
The times we feel most lost, confused or confronted by change, offer gifts we are only now ready to embody.
THE PRIVATE RETREAT WORK
AT LIFE CROSSROADS & TRANSITIONS
Depth Mentoring Intensive — Ashland, Oregon
This is a highly individualized, one-to-one process created for the depth and complexity of your particular life circumstance, questions, and potential. Together we explore what is present, what wants to emerge, and what asks to be released. Based on over 30 years of private mentoring, this unique guided and private mentoring retreat shines the light onto your own creative inquiry process, integrating insight, and practical next steps.
The setting, time and space allow for a focus that is rarely possible in daily life or alone by oneself - offering a guided space stepping away from daily obligations and into an organically artful process for seeing more clearly and moving forward with the integrity and purpose that is your next chapter and calling.
WHAT THREE DAYS MAKE POSSIBLE
In 2-4 days, we can do what takes months (or never) in ordinary time and attention. We accomplish this by helping you step outside the familiar, see your situation with new eyes and heart, and uncover the inner genius of life on the move when you have the time, space, and artful ways of tending to your deeper intelligence and timing.
There are no cookie cutter techniques. This is a completely individualized, highly comprehensive process created according to the depth and complexity of your particular life circumstance, questions, and potential. It is based on over 30 years of private mentoring which I have called "SoulArts".

business transition, advanced directives, philanthropy or legacy decisions. Where appropriate and desired, a separate conversation may be arranged with Matt Clements, Managing Principal of Clements Investment Management, Inc., and so that practical financial considerations can be held alongside the larger life process.
Financial planning and investment /portfolio advice are provided separately through Clements Investment Management.
