The Retreat
Date TBC
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver
We are living in the most chaotic and disruptive times our world has ever seen. If you are feeling stressed or confused or in need of clarity, you are not alone. Every day I speak with clients who express fear about the future and their role in it.
The Retreat is designed to create time and space with guided reflection and support for you to find a path forward, to regain faith in your ability to create an inspiring future.
We will clarify the blocks that impede us, learn new frameworks and practices and define a future vision for who we're becoming and who the world is asking us to become. It's in times like these that our true gifts and talents can be utilized to the fullest.
Gift yourself the time to quiet the noise of the outside world, listen to your inner voice, and connect with others on a similar path of discovery.
For those ready to listen...
You know that small, still voice inside. The one that whispers clues about your soul's path. The one you've been ignoring while taking care of others, getting your to do list done, or simply getting through the day.
The universe may be trying to get your attention through signs. Are you noticing? The song on the radio. Books falling off shelves. The bumper sticker on the car in front of you. People on a mission to deliver the exact message you needed to hear.
Now is the time to listen. It's time to surrender and allow what is being called from you.
The Journey
While all retreats are tailored for those attending, here is some of what you can expect:
-
Learn to navigate your life purpose during this pivotal time of disruption and chaos
-
Share your story in a safe, non-judgmental space.
-
Intention setting: What's the question you've been holding? What signs have been trying to get your attention?
-
Identify your unique gifts and true calling or Zone of Genius, where you operate in a state of flow.
-
Explore your Human Design profile, allowing you to live life from an aligned perspective.
-
Discover your Authentic Self, without pretense that may keep you in hiding.
-
Uncover patterns and limiting beliefs, to see what's been blocking your path.
-
Together, we will map out your Vision, and create the first steps on your journey to achieving that Vision.
-
We will serve delicious food for select meals.

Time outside in nature, weather permitting.
Be ready for a transformative experience and prepare for alignment with your purpose.
Words from attendees
"Laura brings an ability to guide others down the often, unclear path of transformation with practical, gentle guidance. She has a vast toolkit that allows her to coach people on how to integrate their professional, personal, spiritual experiences. I value her intuitive sense of what a person feels, as well as how they need to take action in order to put those feelings - and the experiences that led to them to work."

Your Host and Facilitator
Laura Gates has spent two decades undoing a lifetime (and generations) of conditioning to reconnect with her soul's true path.
Her spiritual journey began after receiving an energy healing on a train in Machu Picchu when she was violently ill in 1990. Shortly after Laura was invited on a meditation retreat by her boss at Citibank outside of New York City. Little did she know she would study with two prominent teachers in the spiritualist movement. And from that weekend on, the teachers and guides kept showing up.
In parallel to her spiritual journey, Laura has served as a coach and advisor to leaders and executive teams in some of the world's most successful organizations, including NASA, Shell, global Silicon Valley tech companies, VC backed AI start ups, non-profits, prisons and government clients. Her podcast Surrendering to the Signs is featured in Forbes. She writes on intuition, communication and conflict resolution for Authority Magazine and First Round Review.
Laura has traveled the globe in search of healing and wisdom, studying with wisdom teachers from multiple disciplines, with the continuous quest of living a more meaningful and authentic life by noticing the signs the universe sends.
Laura has led retreats around the world, including in Sausalito, CA, Costa Rica, Napa Valley, Tulum, Mexico; Miraval in Arizona; and Esalen in Big Sur, CA.
She is now combining her years of expertise to offer an exclusive, intimate and accessible retreat experience at her home in Central New York.
Through this retreat, she creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can learn to read your own personal "sign language" and listen to that small, still voice inside.
Laura's gift is helping others trust the universe's guidance, get out of their own way, and allow themselves to fully be themselves.
