“I practice what I teach. I’ve had a daily meditation practice for 30 years. Intuitively, I knew that the key to leadership success was greater self-awareness and personal growth & development. Meditation started as a personal healing tool and then it enhanced my leadership in ways I couldn’t prove or imagine. The science hadn’t caught up yet with what I knew was happening in me. Now, the research is there - and the Me-Search™ is too. I teach mediation from an intuitive, embodied expertise that few in our sector have.”

Tovi's Unique Approach to Meditation
What is A.W.A.R.-ing
Meditation?
™
A.W.A.R.ing™ Framework for
Equity, Healing, & Transformation
Meditation is a practice of deepening into oneself. It is a portal to deeper self-knowing and emotional intelligence. This process is one of inner-unfolding and is completely personal and unique. As your meditation practice develops, you learn from your own inner-wisdom how to more intentionally and consistently align your actions (what you DO) with your mindset, lens, values (how you BE). This is truly the hallmark of a great leader.
Tovi’s meditations guide leaders into a deep inner-exploration through her signature framework of AWAR-ing™.

"This retreat was a beautiful blend of deep connection with other soul-led leaders and coming home to myself through deep presence and reflection in lots of silence. Tovi embodies presence and an honoring of humanity and that presence calls forth others who desire the same, creating such a sacred and safe space for the healing that occurred for me and others at the retreat. I'm beyond grateful for these beautiful, healing days and moments."

"I highly recommend this retreat! It is a refuge from the chaos of life; it is an invitation to slow down. Are you needing time to just breathe? Are you contemplating something personal or professional that you cannot seem to get your head around? You are reading this now because this is your calling to come. You will not be disappointed."

Early Head Start
A wonderful and life changing opportunity. The things and info and strategies shared all contributed. I have made small and large changes due to the support, suggestions, and opportunity to think and plan and incorporate ideas. I loved the guests, I loved the participants, and I love learning with Tovi. I loved being able to be in the presence of leaderful women, and get to engage and also have group silence and meditation. The whole retreat was beautiful, powerful, healing... exceeded my expectations"
-Participant
My first meditation retreat was a week of silence in 2004.
I was exhausted, burnt-out, and overwhelmed with the loudness of life that I thought was normal. I just wanted a moment to “pause” - make the loudness and busyness of my own life stop. My initial draw to the retreat was to stop, to hide, to find an escape. I had no idea that my life - and leadership - would change forever. I had no idea that the foundation of that retreat would anchor me more deeply to myself and a commitment to live a lifestyle with greater presence and authenticity - a life that I would not need to hide or escape from.
I could go on, yet since then, my work and life speak to the power of this practice more fully than I could ever describe here. All because I got quiet, got still, slowed down, and went inward. To BE different, I had to DO different. The retreat gave me space to practice do-ing different so I could start be-ing different.
I want to share this experience with you, I want to share Professional Spirituality® with you. While we will not do a week of silence (yet!), I invite you to join me for a sacred weekend of sacred work: YOU & YOUR LEADERSHIP. We will truly do the work of embodying self-transformation for systemic-transformation®
Free of interruption, we will engage in our own container on the beautiful grounds, enjoying three healthy meals each day, the peace of nature, a sacred learning space, outdoor amphitheater for talks, and creativity. There will be periods for us to honor the power of Deep Silence. We will learn together, rest together, and meditate together. Of course, there will be space for you to simply BE at your own pace as well.
