LUXURY WOMEN'S EXPERIENCE
.png)
It is time to give back to yourself.
Manifest what you desire.
Welcome to EncounterYou™, a transformative yearlong growth experience designed for women. The highlight of this is the EncounterYou™ Weekend which is more than just a three-day getaway. It's a tranquil oasis where women disconnect in order to reconnect, detoxify to replenish, deep-dive, and develop tools through gratitude and meaningful moments to own unique expressions, set intentions, and give back to themselves with introspective discovery and healing.
Created for women, by women. EncounterYou™ is a transformative journey to success where women step away from giving to others and daily life, and instead feed their own well-being by cultivating practices to encourage personal growth and self-discovery that in turn also promotes professional growth.
Why EncounterYou ?
™
Take a peek into the weekend.

Day 1: Boldly own who you are, bond with others through music and a purpose-driven card
game, empower meaningful lifelong connections, and set your intention. Know that where
your intention goes, energy flows.
Day 2: Share what you discover about yourself, benefit from a reflective response activity,
anchor with gratitude, release that which no longer serves you, and reclaim yourself with a renewed sense of belonging.
Day 3: Embrace who and all that you are, deepen your life’s desires, embody confidence, and emerge with practical tools for being fully committed to your vision.
This weekend is the pinnacle of the yearlong
EncounterYou™ Luxury Women's Experience
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Is this experience for you?
We believe that this luxury women's experience is for EVERYONE, and here are four key takeaways that you will journey though during EncounterYou™, throughout the weekend and the whole year.
01
Own who you are and claim your power.
02
Set your intention
and achieve goals.
03
Release and renew your inner-most
being.
04
Commit to your vision and manifest your desires.
When I refer to EncounterYou™ as
an “experience,” I mean experience!
We will embrace introspective growth, acting with intention, and building deep lifelong connections. Picture breathing in fresh air and unwinding in this eclectically elegant boutique hotel – envision a fusion of small-town charm and stylish decor, set in a calm, tranquil oasis surrounded by lush greenery and outdoor activities. Go for a nature walk, unwind by the pool, enjoy a drink around the fire with your empress sisters all while unwinding and forming conscious connections. Unplug from your everyday routine, plug into each other and prepare for an extraordinary experience and results. All of this is encompassed in your EncounterYou™ experience, including both the weekend and the yearlong growth container.
Accommodations
The Frenchie Boutique Hotel in Round Top, TX
“The Frenchie is designed to deliver the warm, personal hospitality you expect at a traditional inn with all the luxurious hipness of an urban boutique hotel. We tried to push the boundaries of what is expected in a small rural town because we believe it’s possible to be trendsetting in the middle of tranquility. Sometimes those hip urban destinations feel unattainable, but everybody can get to Round Top—and once they get here they want to stay.”
Optional Activities
During your stay, you will have the opportunity to partake in optional activities such as nature walks, yoga, massages, swimming, pickle ball, and a chance to fully give back to your self-care.

The vibration and energy in the group was an experience like no other - I can honestly say that I have never attended a program that can only be described as a life changing experience."
