MEET YOUR ZONE OF GENIUS
HARVEST AND PREPARE
A HEALING RETREAT FOR THE CONSCIOUS ENTREPRENEUR IN CHALLENGING TIMES
YOU’RE INVITED TO MEET YOUR ZONE OF GENIUS
AND CREATE AN EASY AND ALIGNED PLAN TO MOVE INTO IT.
On a mission to teach exhausted and frustrated entrepreneurs to live and lead with ease.
We are living in challenging times. We believe that creating a beautiful life is one of the most important things you can possibly do: a beautiful life is expansive with abundance, success, joy, and creativity.
This retreat is a gift to the most important person in the world, yourself. A gift of a beautiful container, a safe and brave space for you, the conscious entrepreneur who wants to be your best self, to explore, experiment, rest, release and let go so that you can do the work you are meant to do in this world, so you can be effective, impactful and content.
You will leave this weekend retreat feeling refreshed and with a new sense of purpose, clarity about your unique gifts, and a list of practical, actionable steps to take when you go home to keep your growth unfolding.
IN THIS RETREAT YOU WILL:
Discover the power of deep rest and restoration
Develop a clear vision of who you want to be, your “favorite self”
Deepen and learn to cultivate a personal relationship with yourself
Getting aligned with what you really want (not what others say!)
Learn to listen to your embodied wisdom so you can make choices with confidence and clarity
An open heart, and a willing mind
You will be held in this space by Hillary Johnson and Dr. Mary Meduna-Gross, who will guide you over the course of the weekend while you immerse yourself in the beauty and peace of Lake Michigan and the DeKoven Center in Racine, Wisconsin. All materials, room and board are included. All you need to bring is yourself, an open heart and a willing mind.
Stop walking the edge...
As conscious entrepreneurs who want to make the world a better place, while also doing well, we may often find ourselves walking along that edge between holding space for others and taking care of ourselves.

Hi,
Hillary Johnson
Hillary Johnson is an international, interdisciplinary artist, meditation teacher and healer living by Lake Michigan in Chicago, USA. She has been facilitating workshops, teaching and offering individual coaching for over 15 years. Growing up by the ocean imbued Hillary with a deep love of our ever changing seas where she enjoys sailing, swimming and wool-gathering.
"I love to hold space for others' healing, helping them become better witnesses to their own evolution so they might discover and fulfill their potential. I believe our greatest work is creating the most beautiful lives we can, so we can heal and share our gifts with others. To me the greatest tragedy would be getting to the end of one’s life and not having fully done what one was put here to do." Hillary Johnson
She is an MFA Candidate in Photography at Columbia College Chicago and a Curatorial Assistant at the Museum of Contemporary Photography also in Chicago.
Hillary’s work often involves creating experiences and rituals to witness, name and celebrate the deep inner process of healing and connecting with self and others through installation, meditation and embodied practice. Her work is reiterative in process, gaining clarity through time and repetition. Her current practice is a global movement called, The Waters We Swim In, a ritual of transformation which combines meditation, powerful questions and immersion in water for deep healing. The resulting photos which each participant receives serve as daily reminders of their inner beauty, expansive capacity and sovereignty. In 2021, one of these photographs was selected for

Here are a few highlights for you:
The DeKoven Center began as Racine College, established in 1852 founded Dr. James DeKoven The layout was modeled on English colleges, with a large quadrangle and faculty and students living on the campus and eating together.
Mary Todd Lincoln visited the campus, as did Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great essayist and poet. Founder, James DeKoven died in 1879, and the college continued in one form or another until the Great Depression forced its closing in 1933.
The DeKoven Center went through many evolutions and today proudly continues a 150-year legacy of continuing education, spiritual reflection, and recreation, sponsoring monthly retreats and quiet days, hosting conferences led by nationally known speakers, and promoting a variety of events and programs in the arts.
