This exclusive event is open to 12 like-minded women – the perfect number to engage in diverse interactions, yet allow for a very personal experience.
The by-invitation-only Energize Summit is designed specifically for women leaders seeking renewed purpose in this transitional moment in time. We have created a unique experience to give you space to think deeply about your priorities, to strengthen your leadership and make healthier choices for your body and mind to thrive again.
This luxurious, in-person event includes a welcome reception, an overnight stay in a chic boutique hotel, plus one phenomenal day of curated sessions created exclusively for dynamic women like you.
Our location is the beautiful Hockley Valley Resort, nestled in the rolling hills of Mono – worlds away from your day-to-day, yet only a short 45-minute drive from Toronto. We selected this location for its farm-to-table philosophy that offers unique, fresh and locally harvested fare, combined with an environment that is perfect for our theme of rejuvenation, movement and connection to nature. It’s the perfect venue for us to break away and recharge together.
