About this Event

I N T R O D U C I N G T H E...
Ignite Your Boldest Self Retreat


Over 3 days together in Nashville, you’ll uncover the perfectly logical reasons you’ve been holding yourself back and you’ll meet the bold version of yourself that’s been waiting for you to remember.


Imagine yourself with me in Nashville…
  • Rediscovering your truth and your voice, not just what’s expected of you
  • Living with courage and boldness in your work, relationships, and life
  • Feeling lighter, more confident, and more at peace
  • Connecting deeply with like-minded people who see you for who you truly are
  • Allowing yourself the time and space to breathe, reflect, and realign

By the end of our time together, you will…

✔ Discover how to align your time and energy with what matters most, instead of what matters to everyone else
✔ Release the fears and old patterns that have kept you from fully showing up as yourself
✔ Cultivate deeper self-compassion so you can move forward with courage, grace, and ease
✔ Feel a renewed sense of belonging, first within yourself, then in how you connect with others
✔ Ignite a boldness that shines as the light of your deepest self, fully aligned and fully alive

Is this for you?
This retreat is for you if you:
  • Feel like you’ve been on autopilot, doing what’s expected instead of what feels true
  • Find yourself stuck in the cycle of proving, performing, pleasing, and perfecting
  • Crave the freedom of truly belonging to yourself
  • Long to reclaim your voice and live in alignment with your deepest self
  • Are both scared and ready to ignite your boldest self, the light within you that’s ready to shine bright

This retreat is not for you if you:
  • Want to keep seeking others’ approval instead of trusting yourself
  • Prefer surface change instead of deeper transformation
  • Would rather stay guarded than practice vulnerability in a safe, supportive environment
  • Like the safety of settling over the courage of becoming your boldest self

Hello & Welcome
I’m Cindy Gardner, your retreat host.

I know what it’s like to hide my deepest self, to people-please, and to bend under the weight of others’ expectations for fear of judgment, rejection, and not belonging. Over time, I began to doubt my own abilities and second-guess what I knew to be true. I piled on so many layers that I became almost unrecognizable, until I could no longer ignore the quiet voice calling me back home to myself.

Through my personal and professional journey, I’ve discovered that leadership takes many forms, whether it’s leading a business, a team, a family, a community, or even oneself. Yet along the way, we may feel a relentless pressure to hide parts of ourselves in order to fit in.

What we need isn’t fixing or changing who we are, but the chance to set down the weight of fitting in so we can be who we are. That’s what Ignite Your Boldest Self is all about: creating the space to peel back the layers, to uncover the self that’s always been there, and to let it breathe free. And here’s the beautiful part: the spark that fuels boldness doesn’t come from striving or proving, but from self-compassion, grace, and the grounded confidence that grows when you finally belong to yourself.


Are You Ready to Ignite?

This is your invitation to stop hiding, release the weight of expectations, and step into your boldest self.


Don’t wait another season to live the life that’s been whispering to you.



Day 1 - Nov. 13

🕑: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Day 1: Coming Home Together

Info: We’ll experientially explore what it means to “come home” — noticing where we still chase external validation and learning to love that part of us. Through sacred sound and guided practices, we’ll open space in our bodies for our deepest desires to emerge.


Day 2 - Nov. 14

🕑: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Day 2: Awakening Courage

Info: We’ll shift from disconnection into courage. In real time, you’ll speak what is true for you and expand your vision. Sharing in sacred community becomes the first bold step toward bringing that vision to life.


Day 3 - Nov. 15

🕑: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Day 3: Embodying Boldness

Info: This isn’t about dreaming — it’s about embodying. On Day 3, you’ll declare what’s new and identify 1–3 soul-aligned steps that plant you firmly on your new path. You’ll leave with an inspired action roadmap that feels alive and real.
