Brave New Path
Retreat ✨
Find your purpose and reignite your ambition
The retreat for quirky creatives and self-growth nerds who have lost their spark. 😞
One weekend for Rachel and Marie to help you sort through your overwhelm and bring your passion back to the surface.
Raise your hand if you're feeling burnt out, uninspired and stuck. 😞
You know you’re capable of so much more, but you’re paralyzed by confusion and procrastination.
You’ve probably tried every hack out there already…
Setting your alarm for 5am – and snoozing it.
Pushing through the burnout with a “positive mindset” (and feeling even worse!)
Setting goals and then beating yourself up for giving up halfway through.
Hacks are not going to help you take control of your life.
⬇
Getting in touch with your inner-knowing and owning your calling are.
Let’s reconnect to what lights you up and set your priorities straight.
Imagine this…
You know exactly what to do.
Gone are the days when you put everyone else first and second-guess your dreams constantly. You know what you want deep down and make bold heart-led decisions.
You wake up feeling motivated.
You have a flexible action plan that allows for an harmonious balance between your work, personal life and creative project.
Your new friends get it.
You no longer feel lonely on your journey because you have a community of fellow ambitious creatives also going against the grain.
Introducing…
The Big Vision Reset Retreat
It’s not just a retreat. It’s a transformative experience dedicated to finding purpose and reigniting your ambition – with holistic workshops, personalized coaching and a supportive community of like-minded creative nerds.
Think: bougie adult summer camp with a hint of artists’ getaway.
Join us for a long weekend in the colorful autumn forest of Quebec and walk away with:
a clear direction
a boost of enthusasim
lots of new friends!

Meet your hosts 🤓
Rachel Meltzer
Rachel is a business and creative coach for freelancers, podcaster and writers. She’s spent the past 6 years building 2 businesses and fostering a community of freelancers.
She found a life she loves while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail and living in a van traveling full time. She knew she couldn’t keep adventuring with a “regular” job, so she learned digital marketing and started freelancing.
Since 2020 she’s been building a supportive, inclusive community and helping people create a life they love.
Marie-Pier Tremblay
Marie is a former designer and illustrator who decided to get certified as a coach after completing the Pacific Crest Trail - a 6-month hike from Mexico to Canada. She discovered how overcoming self-doubt to pursuing your wildest dreams completely transforms your life.
With the tools she learned, she wrote a book, started a podcast, changed careers, doubled her income, left a long-term relationship and came out as queer.
Since 2021, she has been teaching other colorful souls around the world how to go after what they really want and lead a more meaningful life without freaking out.
Together we'll help you own your dreams unapologetically when you feel scared and want to hide.

Over the long weekend, we’ll work together to untangle your brain to find your purpose and reignite your motivation. We’ll create a clear but flexible roadmap for you so you can go home with the confidence to make purposeful choices without second-guessing yourself.
First, we’ll calm your overwhelm and help you prioritize by facing your fears and excuses so you can uncover your passion again.
Next, we’ll process through movement so you can get to the root of your “why” and think through your deeper thoughts.
On the last day, we’ll teach you the tools to manage your mind and make a plan that will actually work for you, your lifestyle, and your ambitious goals.
All of this is through small group workshops, life coaching techniques, and strategies learned through years of bringing ambitious projects to life.
