“Just taking the word retreat, it means to step back…a retreat is a gift that you give to yourself. It’s where you give yourself time where you really think about things, to really incorporate, integrate, and to learn. It’s a gift to yourself.”
​- Elizabeth Patricia Connor

In today’s busy and hectic world, do you often find yourself wishing for a time out of sorts. If only you could get away and focus in on growing as an individual, right? Perhaps if you could just remove yourself from the hustle and bustle but still be able to participate in your life’s passion of coaching others to their full potential. If you’ve ever had these thoughts, my guest this week, Elizabeth Patricia Connor, is the person to speak to.
​
        On top of being a bestselling author, workshop leader, transformational coach and sought-after inspirational speaker, Elizabeth has now created an amazing experiential retreat in Costa Rica, opening its doors in 2019. Her goal to inspire people to open their minds about incorporating experiential retreats as a new way to transform and grow businesses and personal development.
