You’re Invited to the

Soulful Leaders Retreat 2024

Thursday 26th September – Sunday 29th September 2024
Byron Bay Hinterland, NSW

I've got something special planned, just for you!

Uplifting and magnifying the brilliance of women is something I love, and this retreat will focus that love on you.

This retreat is for you if you’re ready to go deeper.

There is an idea I work with a lot about the 2 stages of a person’s life.

The first stage of life asks the question “what does the world want of me”, and we live to answer that question. We get partners, an education. We start businesses, we make money. We do what the world expects and wants from us.

Yet as we get older though, this isn’t enough. A restlessness comes in. What once satisfied now no longer does.

This is because we have moved into the second stage of life, and this stage asks a different question. It wants to know “What does my soul ask of me?”

Helping you answer this question is what the Soulful Leaders Rising Women retreat is for.

“I cannot recommend Soulful Leaders Retreat enough. It was truly life-changing for me. The environment Cathy creates allows us to drop the facades we carry elsewhere, fostering genuine relationships based on mutual authenticity. This isn't about competition over material success but about true connection. “

Georgina Davies

Soulful Women Leaders Retreat is for women who:

  • Are ambitious, bright and amazing – you don’t want to be in any space where you have to dim that light
  • Know something’s brewing and want space and inspiration to see what that is
  • Like it a bit practical and a bit mystical
  • Want a place to be yourself, and not have to put on that business front all the time
  • Values taking time to ground yourself and tune in to what’s important
  • Are looking for authentic, soulful connection with other women

The Soulful Women Leaders Retreat gives you space and guidance to lovingly explore what my soul is asking of me now.

  • Stop the pushing and shoving - give your willpower a break and let your soulful side take over
  • Tune into what you really want and who you really are
  • Hatch some plans and have some laughs with amazing women
  • Rest, renew, revive, come alive
  • Sit around the fire like the cauldrons of yore, and see what sparks take flame in you

“My mind was in chaos when I arrived and by the end of it, I was calm, centred and a lot more at peace. It alleviated my stress and brought it back to self.”

Your Host

CATHY BURKE

Hi there!
You may already know me, but here's a recap...

I’ve grown and led an organisation that has changed the lives of millions of people – mainly women and their families across Africa and South Asia.

I lead and live with Soul.

know what it’s like to be unsure and uncertain in myself – yet have the ambition and heart to do what’s right, what’s big, and what’s freeing.

I do the Soul work.
I’ve been meditating for 35 years and I’m committed to my own growth and evolution.
I lead - and I help others lead - from a place of courage, heart, vision and impact.

And I’m passionate about women – it’s our time to rise!

I put this retreat together for a few reasons:

1. The 2023 Soulful Leaders Retreat was transformative and divine. How could we not do it again!

2. We don’t often prioritise coming together in person, where everything is taken care of - so this is that space. Be taken care of while you listen to the calling of your soul. There will be guided sessions as well as time for you to integrate, reflect and rest.

3. Leadership done differently is more critical than ever, and I’m excited to delve into how this looks for each of us. We have one life - what is calling to you?

“Cathy creates a powerful space like no other. On the retreat she leads us into inner reflection while building awareness around the mindsets holding us back. She gently pushes us to connect with our soul. The treat was transformative for me.”
