About The Retreat

The Calling My Spirit Back Retreat is an invitation to reconnect with your humanity, your leadership, and your story — through grounded storytelling practices, cultural teachings, and emotional safety.

Held each fall on the beautiful syilx lands of the Okanagan, BC, this intimate gathering brings together relational leaders, changemakers, and healers ready to recharge, reflect, and renew their leadership journeys from the inside out.

Retreat Overview

This retreat offers a space to:

Reclaim your story through guided reflection and storytelling practice
Reconnect with spirit and purpose through Indigenous relational teachings
Celebrate authenticity and leadership within a supportive, relational community

Led by Elaine Alec, this experience is designed for those who are ready to lead different, not from urgency or performance, but from presence, care, and connection.

 Over three days, participants will engage in:

  • Guided storytelling and reflection activities
  • Small group discussions and relationship-building exercises
  • Relational leadership workshops rooted in the Cultivating Safe Spaces Framework
  • Rest, connection, and emotional renewal

You will leave recharged, centered, and inspired — connected to a community committed to leading with humanity.

Who This Retreat Is For

  • Leaders, facilitators, educators, and advocates seeking emotional, spiritual, and relational renewal
  • CSS Certified Facilitators deepening their relational leadership practice
  • Changemakers ready to move beyond urgency, burnout, and isolation
  • Humans who want to remember themselves as part of the leadership work

You do not need to have it all figured out. You need only be willing to practice relational leadership — starting with yourself.

 

What You'll Leave With

  • A renewed sense of clarity, courage, and relational leadership
  • Tools to sustain emotional regulation, authenticity, and resilience
  • A deeper connection to yourself, your purpose, and a relational leadership community
  • A grounded, practical path forward for leading with presence and humanity
