Embodying Conscious Leadership
immersive Day Retreat for purpose-driven leaders
Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre (near Ottawa) | Choose between October 2nd and 3rd 2025
Awareness is an essential (arguably the most essential) leadership competency. The growing field of Conscious Leadership centres the awareness-building practices needed to thrive in today’s leadership landscape.
Amidst growing demands and complexity, it can be challenging for modern leaders to find the space needed to deepen presence and self-awareness. The urgent tends to override the important. Attention is often pulled in various directions. And as these patterns persist, they chip away at one’s ability to continuously show up as a steady, inspiring, effective leader.

This thoughtfully curated retreat experience offers an invitation to powerfully step into the next phase of your leadership journey.
Escape the day-to-day, quiet the noise and re-connect with the deeper parts of yourself. Inspired by stillness and natural surroundings, you’ll draw upon renewed clarity as you explore your unique leadership strengths, tendencies, beliefs and motivations - in an intimate, supportive and confidential setting.
A transformative journey
Upon registration, you’ll be invited to join a private online community with fellow retreat participants. Through this community, you’ll gain access to pre-retreat information, guidance and reflective prompts.
On retreat day, you’ll take in the fall colours on your scenic drive to the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre to spend a day immersed in nature and community. Following a grounding exercise, you’ll savour some refreshments and a light breakfast as you get to know your fellow participants. You’ll then be guided through an expertly curated series of activities including a reflective forest walk, journalling, fireside chat, guided meditation and peer-to-peer sharing. You’ll leave feeling nourished and connected - to self, purpose, nature and your fellow leaders.
To support your continued integration of the insights gained on retreat, you’ll receive weekly reflective prompts and access to an online community for four (4) weeks post-retreat, along with special discounted rates on 1-on-1 coaching support and The Conscious Leaders Collective.
Kind words from last year’s participants
“Rebecca - The day was incredible (I’m still looking at spiderwebs differently!). It was evident that you put so much intention behind each aspect of the retreat; you created a space for us to be vulnerable, allowed time to digest our learnings and respectfully challenged some of our ways of thinking. I would highly recommend this day in nature to any leader who wants to better connect to their inner leadership capacities and to learn from other likeminded leaders. Hope to see you there next year!” - Melissa
“I loved it and am really hoping it’s an annual retreat. As leaders, we need to learn to slow down before we can speed up. You are a masterful facilitator.” - Stephen
“Thank you Rebecca for a wonderful day - very enriching and a lot of take aways. You and Arija did a great job facilitating and creating a safe environment for leaders to explore conscious leadership” - David
“Thank you, Rebecca, for an incredible day! I highly recommend this retreat experience to anyone who wishes to deepen their practice of conscious leadership” - Rachel

Meet Rebecca
Rebecca Wilson is an ICF certified coach, Leadership Circle Profile practitioner, mindfulness teacher, and experienced senior leader.
Rebecca spent much of her life identifying as a high achiever (who desperately wanted to save the world). At some point along the path of striving for more outward impact, she realized she’d lost connection with herself. Her path of self-discovery led her to experience the profound effects of mindfulness.
Along this journey, Rebecca continued to thrive professionally, moving into senior leadership positions in the management consulting and not-for-profit sectors. All the while, she was diving deep into wisdom traditions and personal development, eventually training as a certified coach, meditation and yoga teacher. As she observed changes within herself and her clients, she began witnessing the transformative impact of inner work on leadership effectiveness.
Rebecca founded Arborvida to help high achieving, purpose-driven leaders deepen their presence and elevate their impact. She’s married 10 years of experience hosting leadership off-sites with her expertise as a Mindfulness Teacher and Executive Coach to create this truly transformative offering.
