What's Included In The Retreat...
PRE-RETREAT CALLS AND WORKBOOK

Creating a safe container for the programme is important, and we meet via Zoom for two short sessions to get some warm up inspiration and mini practices to allow you to meet others on the retreat to get to know them a little before you arrive:
- Welcome and introductions
- Where are you on your life's path? A system to help you know how to respond
- Getting clear on the heart and the mind - the socially programmed self vs your true self

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Joanna Shipley
Through a unique mix of holistic, heart-centered mentoring and Martha Beck Wayfinder Master Life coaching, I guide people to make powerful transformations in their lives and practices – removing the mindsets and patterns that hold them back, creating heart-singing work or businesses they didn’t dare believe they could create, curating relationships that fully fill their souls and connecting to spirit for divine answers, insight and guidance.
I help make what seems impossible to you right now not only possible… but DONE. Incredible changes that bring you to a life of authenticity, integrity, truth and purpose - where you begin to realize just how amazing you really are. Where you get to fall in love with life.
And in a group setting I get to share my 20+ years' experience of running spiritual training and Way of Council sharing to help you to access your own heart, spirit and soul for your intuitive guidance and wisdom that I know is within every single one of us.
“Life finally feels authentic to my soul.”
“Joanna helped me put my life onto a trajectory that finally feels authentic to my soul. She is wise, giving, full of heart, direct yet kind, and a great listener. Joanna gave me tons of encouragement and practical, manageable aligned steps.
In fact, most important to me is that I now have reuseable tools that I continue to use beyond our work togehter to help navigate the challenges and messiness of life.”
- Diane Shaughnessy
“She’s intuitive, compassionate and truthful.”
“One of my favorite things about working with Joanna is her gift to calmly provide a safe space to uncover the deeper reason I sought her help. Each time I come away with insight to move forward. She’s intuitive, compassionate and truthful.
What sets her apart is her gift to call upon her wealth of knowledge and training from coaching to shamanism to one to one natural medicine. She has the ability to pivot based on her client’s needs in the moment.”
- Tish Dragonette USA
“No longer lost, I've found what I was looking for.”
"When you are missing something, wherever you are stuck, Joanna just helps you to fill in that gap with whatever is already within you. I was unsure which direction to go in in my work. Unable to decide where to invest my focus. I had tried a few avenues but they had not worked out.
Joanna just holds your hand to go inwards, to find what you are looking for and helping you along the way with any falls, hills and blips. You no longer feel alone in a lost place."
- Viviana Patterson
