It can be challenging for modern leaders to find the space needed to deepen presence and awareness. The urgent needs tend to take priority. Attention is often pulled in various directions. And as these patterns persist, they chip away at one’s ability to continuously show up as a steady, inspiring, effective leader. This day offers a reset.
A transformative journey
The journey begins in the weeks leading up to the retreat. In September, you’ll receive access to pre-retreat information, guidance and reflective prompts.
On retreat day, you’ll take in the fall colours on your scenic drive to the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre to spend a day immersed in nature and community.
Following a grounding exercise, you’ll savour some refreshments and a light breakfast as you get to know your fellow participants. You’ll then be guided through an expertly curated series of activities including reflective time in the forest, journalling, fireside chat, guided meditation and peer-to-peer sharing. You’ll leave feeling nourished and connected - to self, purpose, nature and your fellow leaders.
To support your continued integration of the insights gained on retreat, you’ll receive 7 days of audio recordings and a group integration session one week post-retreat, along with the option to continue your journey within The Arborvida Collective.
Kind words from last year’s participants
“I loved [the experience] and am really hoping it’s an annual retreat. As leaders, we need to learn to slow down before we can speed up. You are a masterful facilitator.” - Stephen (CEO)
“Rebecca - The day was incredible (I’m still looking at spiderwebs differently!). It was evident that you put so much intention behind each aspect of the retreat; you created a space for us to be vulnerable, allowed time to digest our learnings and respectfully challenged some of our ways of thinking. I would highly recommend this day in nature to any leader who wants to better connect to their inner leadership capacities and to learn from other likeminded leaders. Hope to see you there next year!” - Melissa (Manager)
“Thank you Rebecca for a wonderful day - very enriching and a lot of take aways. You and Arija did a great job facilitating and creating a safe environment for leaders to explore conscious leadership” - David (CAO)
“Thank you, Rebecca, for an incredible day! I highly recommend this retreat experience to anyone who wishes to deepen their practice of conscious leadership” - Rachel (Manager)

Meet Rebecca
Rebecca Wilson is an award-winning Executive Coach and Speaker, certified mindfulness teacher, and experienced senior leader.
Rebecca spent much of her life identifying as a high achiever (who desperately wanted to save the world). At some point along the path of striving for more outward impact, she realized she’d lost connection with herself. Her path of self-discovery led her to experience the profound effects of mindfulness.
Along this journey, Rebecca continued to thrive professionally, moving into senior leadership positions in the management consulting and not-for-profit sectors. All the while, she was diving deep into wisdom traditions and personal development, eventually training as a certified coach, meditation and yoga teacher. As she observed changes within herself and her clients, she began witnessing the transformative impact of inner work on leadership effectiveness.
Rebecca founded Arborvida to help high achieving, purpose-driven leaders deepen their presence and elevate their impact. She’s married 10 years of experience hosting leadership off-sites with her expertise as a Mindfulness Teacher and Executive Coach to create this truly transformative offering.
