Personal Renaissance Retreat

your Personal RENAISSANCE Retreat

This retreat exists for the woman who, despite having already lived a long and full Life, senses that somewhere inside her there’s still another chapter beckoning. She’s grateful for all the good that Life has brought her way and she’s proud of her accomplishments and contributions. Still, she suspects that, underneath the roles she’s played, all the victories and losses, the years of often putting the needs of her loved ones first, second-guessing her desires, or molding her choices to please others — there’s a version of herself that is still waiting to be lived. It’s designed for a woman who suspects there’s still more to HER. She wants her next chapter to open a new territory. It’s for the woman who is curious about who she could become. She’s asking: What is calling to me now? What haven’t I gotten around to yet that feels non-negotiable? What would it feel like to follow that? Who would I have to become in order to do so?

The Central Experience:

Meeting the Woman You’re Becoming

When you join Meriah in your Personal Renaissance Retreat, you won’t just think about who you’re becoming. You’ll meet your Future Self. You’ll spend time with her. And you’ll leave knowing, in your body as well as your mind, much of what she knows. 

This is a transformative experience, and your Personal Renaissance Retreat is the container designed to convey that experience.

Your Retreat Begins Days in Advance

Your retreat doesn’t start the day we meet. It starts the moment you say “Yes.”

ONE

Once you’ve enrolled, you’ll receive the Sovereign Renaissance Woman Questionnaire  –- a deeply clarifying self-exploration designed specifically for women in this stage of life. The questions are substantive and thought-provoking. Many women find the process of completing it transformative in itself — a rare invitation to sit with yourself and tell the truth about what you want, what you’ve outgrown, and what you may be moving toward or hoping for.

TWO

Soon thereafter, we’ll have a Pre-Retreat Conversation  –- unhurried, preparatory, and part of the process. 

THREE

The Full 6-Hour Retreat. By the time we come together, I’ll know you. You’ll know me. The work will already be underway. The ground will already be prepared. (see more details on the Retreat itself below).

FOUR

The Post-Retreat Conversation

A week or so after the retreat we’ll meet by phone or Zoom. It’s a time for you to ask questions, share ah-hah’s, celebrate your victories, and discuss further steps. 

If you’ve chosen the Personal Renaissance Retreat + Story Affirmation option, by now you will have received your Story Affirmation document via email — so if you have questions or wish to report results you’re experiencing, the Post-Retreat Conversation is a wonderful time to do so.

The Retreat Itself — A Guided Arc

Your retreat will be held in person (if you live in Central KY (or wish to visit), OR online via Zoom, if you prefer.

Getting Present in Body & Mind  We begin by arriving fully — in the body, in the moment, in this particular stage of life. Through grounding practices designed specifically for the Sovereign Renaissance Woman, we set aside the noise of ordinary life and create the interior conditions that make everything that follows possible. This is not a warm-up. It’s essential.

Excavating Your Desires and Discontents  Before we can move toward anything, we need to know what’s actually true for you right now. What are you hungry for? What have you quietly outgrown? What’s the load-bearing desire — the one thing that, if it were real, would allow everything else in your life to reorganize around it? Some questions will follow up on your responses to the Questionnaire. This is where women often discover that what they thought they wanted and what they actually want are not quite the same thing.

Choosing the Version of Yourself You’re Going to “Meet”  Once we know what you’re moving toward, we identify her — one potential version of your future self. You’ll choose her deliberately, with intention. And then we’ll go.

Crossing the Invisible Bridge  The central practice of Your Personal Renaissance Retreat — and the moment everything starts to shift. In a guided, deeply relaxed state, you’ll travel to meet her. You’ll observe her. You’ll learn from her. You’ll talk with her. What passes between you in that moment is something that no-one besides her — your Future Self, could possibly offer you. 

Many women describe this experience as the most judgment-free encounter they’ve ever had — a meeting of complete understanding, spanning the distance between what is and what’s possible.

You will likely come back changed. Something will have shifted.

A note on how to approach this practice: You don’t need to believe in alternate universes or parallel realities to benefit from this process. What you need is a willingness to take your own imagination seriously — to treat it not as fiction but as a faculty of human perception. It doesn’t make things up — it finds things. Don’t worry about “failing.” This will be an entirely accepting environment The process is pleasurable and fascinating. You literally cannot fail.

Solo Reflection After Crossing the Invisible Bridge, you’ll have quiet time to yourself — to sit, or move, or draw, to let what happened settle without rushing into language. Then time to write. This unhurried space is not filler. Integration begins here. This is the space where your genius just naturally throws out ideas you didn’t know you had in you.

Share and Go Deeper  We’ll come back together and you’ll share what you found — as much or as little as you wish. I’ll listen actively and ask questions designed not to interpret your experience but to help you go further into it. To remember details you might have glossed over. To find the thread that’s worth pulling.

This is where what happened in the practice becomes something you can actually use.

Anchor Your Next Step  Before we close, you’ll have something real to carry forward — not just inspiration, but something tangible you can commit to, anchoring your forward motion.

What You’ll Leave With

By the end of Your Personal Renaissance Retreat, you will have met the version of yourself who has already crossed the threshold you’re standing at. You’ll know what she knows. You’ll have felt — in your body, not just your mind –- what her life feels like from the inside. And you’ll leave with one clear, specific next step drawn directly from her life, not from your current view of what’s possible.

My Promise to You

If by the end of our time together you don’t feel genuine movement — toward clarity, toward a next step that feels worthy of your attention — I won’t consider our work complete. I’ll extend our post-retreat conversation to address your concerns, and if needed, design an additional process specifically for you. 

Is a Personal Renaissance Retreat for You?

• Yes. If you’re a woman 55 or over who has suspected for some time that there’s a richer version of her life available — and is ready to stop waiting for it to appear on its own.
• Yes. If you’re ready to take your own inner compass seriously — perhaps for the first time in a while.
• Yes. If you feel compelled to become the woman you know you’re capable of being and would like some guidance and encouragement to power the process.
• No. It is not for you if you’re in acute crisis or want to dive deeply into your personal past traumas and limiting beliefs. A Personal Renaissance Retreat is not therapy – it’s a forward-moving, possibility-focused experience for women who are tired of waiting.

Option ONE. 

$597

For 2026, I’m offering Your Personal Renaissance Retreat as a pilot program, at a reduced price. As the day is tailored to your needs, history, and priorities, you’ll also be on the ground floor, contributing to the formation of something that will benefit many other women in the future.

Option TWO. 

$697

Your Personal Renaissance Retreat + Your Story Affirmation.

If you choose this option, I will compose a personal STORY AFFIRMATION in addition to providing your mini-retreat. You will receive a narrative written specifically from what you shared about your values and aspirations during the retreat and accompanying conversations..

Your Story Affirmation is something you can return to every morning for months to come, keeping your retreat alive long after your Personal Renaissance Retreat ends.

There is normally a fee of $497 for the Story Affirmation alone. In this case, because Meriah will already learn so much about what’s important to you through the retreat process, she’s able to offer it to you for a reduced fee, as a $100 add-on.

A Word About This Retreat, and Next Steps

Your Personal Renaissance Retreat is complete in itself.

Whatever you find, whatever shifts, is real and yours. 

There is no further obligation, there will be no pushy upsells, no pressure to do anything further.

That said — many women find that meeting this version of themselves makes them want to keep going. To spend real time moving forward toward your newly sparked aims and vision. 

If that’s you, the 12-week Sovereign Renaissance Woman Program  exists exactly for that. It’s a more developmental, more sustained journey — one that takes what the retreat reveals, continues building your roadmap, and provides a guiding partner as you traverse it. We can talk about that after your retreat, if it feels relevant to you.

For now, the only question is whether you want to get started.
