A Retreat That Connects You to Purpose, People, and PlaceStep into the storybook charm of Pictou, Nova Scotia—an undiscovered gem on Canada’s East Coast—for a few unforgettable days of renewal, connection, and impact.Co-hosted by two of Canada’s most respected former federal ministers—leaders in trade, tourism, and women’s advancement—this immersive retreat offers high-level mentorship, meaningful community engagement, and the soul-deep enrichment that comes from stepping into something bigger than yourself. Alongside a curated circle of accomplished women leaders and changemakers, you’ll find space to reflect, reset, and reimagine what’s next.Over the course of the retreat, you’ll wake to the sound of bagpipes and ease into your day with guided movement and meditation. You’ll spend an afternoon on the Atlantic with a pioneering female lobster fisher—pulling traps and later savouring your catch at a sunset feast. And throughout it all, you’ll be treated to warm Maritime hospitality, complete with ceilidhs, storytelling, and the kind of down-home charm that lingers long after you’ve left.You'll also enjoy intimate fireside conversations and one-on-one advisory sessions with your hosts—two trailblazing women who have shaped policy at the highest levels and now turn their wisdom toward helping you navigate your own path. Their doors (and minds) will be open.One of the most meaningful moments of the retreat will bring you to 'the kitchen table' of a local woman entrepreneur. Together, you and your fellow guests will form a supportive circle, offering her insight, encouragement, and the benefit of your lived experience. It’s not consulting—it’s community. And the bursary she receives—funded in part by your participation—makes your impact tangible and lasting.This is more than a getaway. It’s a gathering of minds, a circle of support, and a chance to do good while doing something good for yourself.Retreat Details✔ All meals and curated excursions included ✔ Accommodation booked separately at our recommended lodge ✔ Travel arranged independently ✔ Casual, layered clothing recommended (including rain gear and bathing suit) ✔ Bring an open mind—and leave with an open heartWe’re looking for women who want more than rest. We’re looking for women ready to belong, to contribute, to be changed by the experience—and to change others in turn.If that sounds like you, we’ll be here with open arms.

This microgrant—administered in partnership with the Pictou County Chamber of Commerce—will be awarded to a local woman entrepreneur or emerging leader working to grow her business or community impact in an underemployed region. Your mentorship and presence will help spark new opportunities where they’re needed most. You may come from away—but the connection you’ll make, and the difference you’ll leave behind, will have you wanting to come back soon.

Pictou County Microgrant

We realize some retreat participants may be travelling with friends, family or colleagues who may not be involved which the retreat so we are offering additional Lobster Due tickets for $100 pp.  This will be a fun filled event with amazing food, succulent lobster and incredible local wine that comes from the land that meets the sea where the lobster was fished.

About this trip

This is more than just a change of scenery—it’s a chance to be part of something enduring. You’ll spend meaningful time not only with the retreat’s remarkable founders, but also with a select group of like-minded women—each one bringing her own brilliance, ambition, and generosity to the table. We believe that kind of network can change lives—yours included. Your presence directly supports rural economic development and women-led businesses in a region carving out its future with courage and creativity. And long after you’ve left the shore, your insights, energy, and generosity will continue to ripple through the lives of the women you’ve touched.
