Events & Retreats
When Women Gather, The Future Unlocks.
your full bodied activation starts here
What happens at our live events is hard to explain…
and powerful to experience.
We gather women who are ready to rise.
Those longing to trust their inner knowing, connect in meaningful community, and step into the next chapter of their purpose.
Held in a community rooted in presence and embodied leadership, you pause, reflect, and claim what’s next— energized, nourished, and tapped into the woman you came here to be.
A Live Event That Moves You…
You’re not craving more information. You’re ready for an experience that moves you, shapes you, and stays with you after you attend.
At one of our immersive live events you will:
Step into practice, not just theory
You’ll have the chance to try on new perspectives, tools, and conversations in real time.
Accelerate your growth
What might take months or years to achieve on your own often opens up in just a few days together.
Connect with supportive peers
Rise to the best version of yourself, in the company of women who inspire you, challenge you, and “get it.”
Amplify your power and expand
In a field of resonance with others, your insights land more deeply and your breakthroughs last.
As a woman of color, I have often felt barriers to embracing my full self and owning my unique gifts, power, self-love and confidence. I found a community of like-minded women here. Thank you for creating an inclusive, safe space where everyone feels connected and a sense of belonging.CFO at Hilco Professional Services
I couldn't help but think that at my level, I should have learned this stuff before – but these are still things that we all struggle with as women, and there are not a lot of training programs available that address these issues really well. I am already MUCH more competent as a leader and much more skilled as compared to my peers, having been a part of these trainings.Regional President at M&T Bank
The experience is unlike any other coaching retreat - it is deeply held, resonant, and works at your core to repattern governing ideas and beliefs so that you can approach your life and work with a fresh lens. Magically, you get exactly what you are hoping to get out of your retreat, and have the support of not only LeeAnn, but all of the other women who are on the journey with you.Translational Scientist & Scientific Lead
I had not expected to create such strong bonds with the other women participating in the event. I'm thrilled and grateful at the connections that we created so fast. I knew attending would allow for reflection and build my confidence, but it definitely exceeded those expectations. I have come away with more joy, confidence, and direction. I also have concrete new practices to strengthen my mind/body connection and leadership.Senior Leader, International Development
I was pleasantly surprised to meet diverse women with whom I had an abundance in common, even though we come from different places and have different life experiences. It felt good to be with a group of women who so closely resembled myself. I appreciated LeeAnn’s kind, gentle, yet firm approach to facilitation at the event.Founder and Adjunct Professor
The power of pausing and reflecting is real. The power of female energy is real. The power of listening to your body is real. The power of joy is real. The power of community is real. I felt seen and heard both by my fellow participants and LeeAnn. We all go through similar challenges – hearing stories that I could also relate to was both reassuring and empowering. After this experience, I am ready for the next iteration of my company and ready to step into my full potential as a leader.Founder & CEO at BB Events

When you join a Guts & Grace Event You Will:
- Experience breakthroughs you didn’t see coming — small or big shifts that open you up to what’s next.
- Anchor into your intuition and clarity, guided by embodied practices and real conversation that cuts through self-doubt.

- Leave with new energy, insights, and relationships that keep unfolding long after the event ends.
