Powerful Resources from 10 Years of Retreat-Leading Experience
About Darla
There are two things that have made a difference for me more than anything else on my journey to right here.
- Alignment. Aligning with my spiritual Truth has created a priceless internal freedom.
- Retreats. Connection heals and healing frees. To risk being truly seen, in a retreat community, creates permanent transformation.
Kurt Wright said, “We can only trust that part of ourselves that we have revealed to another person and had validated instead of violated.” This simple statement demonstrates why small, safe-space, truth-based retreats are such powerful tools for empowerment. Once we experience ourselves in a new way, we can’t un-know who we now are. And live retreats create experiences in a way no self-help book (or virtual program, or information-packed big event) ever could.
If you are someone who creates a safe space of non-judgement in which people can share their Truth (or people just tend to tell you stuff), or if you love to dig into the root cause of an issue to shift it at its core, you might a transformational entrepreneur and a powerful retreat leader.

I’m all fired up at the moment. I’ve got insights firing left and right, I am watching my clients grow leaps and bounds as well. I’m I just crossed 1000 ‘likes’ on Facebook. (I mean, that must be some sort of ‘fired up’ marker these days, right?) And I love this...
Its all about the platform, baby!

Not My People
Your unique brand of value empowers you to say no! Picture yourself in a room filled with clients. You don't have to try to use fancy marketing language in order to impress them, you can just be yourself and they get you. They know they are "your people" and they are...
Saving it for Later
I've noticed a tendency among entrepreneurs to save the good stuff for later. I've been teaching a lot about the difference between a brand message and a marketing campaign message recently, and as I work with people on their ideas that they want to teach or share in...

Is the “Not Enough” Hype Killing Your Profit?
I am the first to say that moving past where you typically stop requires a ‘come to Jesus’ sort of moment. To decide to change your life will always come with a brief (or sometimes more than brief) moment of panic as you break through your fear. If it doesn’t, you’re...
