  • Are you a leader navigating unending change and feeling
    disconnected from your true purpose?
  • Do you know what you’re headed toward—or what you’re
    ready to leave behind?
  • As a purpose-driven professional, do you still feel that
    deeper pull toward creativity and lasting impact?
  • Are you craving space to tap into your imagination and
    transform the next chapter of your life?

This retreat is for individuals on the cusp of change—ready to release what no longer fits and step into what’s possible:

  • For the Edge Walkers, living between convention and innovation.
  •  
  • For the Catalysts of Change, prepared to lead with renewed purpose and presence.
  •  
  • For the Quiet Revolutionaries, guided not by noise or ego, but by clarity, courage, and soul.

You’ve led. You’ve healed. You’ve built. Now, something stirs beneath the surface, a quiet (or not-so-quiet) pull toward what’s next. Join us in the vineyards of Bordeaux, where transformation is harvested with intention, and growth begins at the threshold. Across three thoughtful phases, you’ll unlock your Enneagram, savor immersive experiences, receive personalized coaching, and connect with a vibrant community of like-minded individuals. You’ll leave with:

Unshakeable Confidence (ROOTED):

  • Harvest deep self-knowledge through your Enneagram type—unearthing core values, beliefs, and narratives that anchor your sense of self.

 Bold Clarity (ALIGNED):

  • Forge a compelling vision and audacious goals that align your ambitions with growth.

Liberated Presence (PRESENT):

  • Release limiting patterns of thought and behavior enabling you to lead with clarity and authenticity.

Lasting Impact (TRANSFORMED):

  • Translate insights and strengths into a tailored action plan and establish an accountability network— to ensure sustained change.
If you’re feeling stuck or simply stirred—craving clarity, confidence, and a sense of renewed purpose—this experience was designed for you.

 This is not a retreat for fixing what’s broken. It’s a harvesting for those ready to grow.

Phase I: Planting

 Pre-Retreat:

  • Enneagram Assessment and Debrief

You’ll complete a personalized Enneagram assessment to explore your core type, strengths, and limitations—a tool for realizing, owning, and accepting the whole of who you are.

Your journey will begin by clarifying intentions and uncovering your core personality motivations through the Enneagram Assessment. You will receive a personalized debrief and begin to plant the seeds for intentional growth.

  • Two 90-Minute Group Coaching Sessions (via Zoom)

We'll gather virtually to establish community, clarify intentions, and begin exploring the deeper questions that brought you here.

Phase II: Harvesting the Growth

In-Person Retreat in Auros, France

Daily Transformational Coaching

Thoughtfully guided sessions designed to move you from stuck to aligned, from uncertain to empowered.

Curated Immersive Excursions

Climb the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune, to look beyond your current horizon—symbolizing the courageous climb toward clarity and new vision.

What must you release in order to rise, and what truth becomes visible only from this higher perspective?

Travel to the famous Bay of Arcachon to sample fresh raw oysters on the half shell and learn about oyster farming and the rhythm of the tides and the slow, patient stewardship required for oyster cultivation.

What part of your life are you tending now that may not bloom for months or years?

Join an exclusive vineyard tour and partake in the grape harvesting. You will learn about biodynamic winegrowing, be a part of the first harvest blessing, and enjoy a meal with the vineyard owners.

As the vine yields its fruit, what within you is ready to be seen, shared, or savored?

Partner with our resident French chef to co-create a meal from market to table. You’ll learn the subtle discernment behind ingredient selection, preparation, wine pairing, and the art of co-creation.

If this next season were a meal you’re preparing, what would you include to nourish the version of you emerging now?

Explore your creative spirit through an abstract painting class led by a local French artist—an invitation to express on canvas what words cannot.

If this canvas became your compass, what would it point you toward in the months to come?

Reflection and Stillness

Down time is built into each day for personal reflection and integration of insights and growth.

Connection with a Like-Minded Circle

You’ll be surrounded by fellow learners—each bringing wisdom, curiosity, and a shared commitment to growth.

 

Phase III: Clearing & Cultivating

Post-Retreat: Integration

 Participate in two follow-up group Zoom Sessions

Reflect, refine, and integrate your transformation. Clear space for what’s next and cultivate practices to sustain your growth.

Testimonials: Reflections beneath the surface

Just beneath the surface lies powerful insight and transformation. These reflections speak to the depth of the coaching experience where clarity emerges, and personal truth comes to light.

I left the experience feeling empowered and motivated, with a belief that real change is possible. In the next chapter of my life, I realize that my life experience is less about what happens, and more about how I show up in every situation. I have the power to use different tools to create more positive outcomes that align with my values. I am not just one thing, static and unchangeable, I can be whomever I want to be and stretch into new areas. Happiness can be a choice, not a thing to reach for.

I had some reserved feelings about how much to let strangers into my personal space. The enneagram assessment helped pull us together and create conversation throughout the retreat. I understand people in a way I had never been able to before. I enjoyed how the enneagram allowed room for exploration and improvement in oneself.

What an impactful immersion into French life at Rouge Bordeaux with coaches Hayden and Natasha! Our group came together quickly as if we’d known each other for a long time. We did some serious introspective work mixed with fun excursions and meaningful encounters with locals. We wined, dined, laughed and had time to tell our stories and dreams, as well as explore the area on our own. My mind and conversations easily drifts back to my precious week in France.

My retreat experience was truly life changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely loved and cared for by the coaches and by Rouge Bordeaux. The setting, combined with thoughtful coaching sessions and experiential activities, allowed me to reflect deeply, gain clarity, and connect with others in a meaningful way. I came away not only refreshed but with a renewed sense of purpose and tools that I’ll carry forward in my personal and professional life.
