Embodied Leadership Retreat
A Boutique Retreat for Women Ready to Lead Differently
Energetics First. Always
Sunshine Coast, Australia

RESERVE MY PLACEWhat this retreat is really about
This retreat is designed to support a shift in how you lead, not just what you do.
It is about understanding how your internal state shapes your capacity, decisions, leadership, and life.
Change does not happen through effort alone.
It happens when the way you are operating internally shifts, and everything else reorganises around that.
This retreat creates the conditions for clarity, alignment, and a new way of leading to emerge.
The core of the retreat
The Energy Audit and Alignment Journey
with Kathleen Davidson
This is the central experience of the retreat.
The Energy Audit and Alignment Journey is a three-part workshop series led by Kathleen Davidson, grounded in her lived experience of restructuring her life and leadership from the inside out.
This work forms the foundation of the retreat.
Everything else supports and integrates what unfolds here.
Session Breakdown
at the heart of the retreat
Session One
Awareness
Understanding your current energetic state
This opening session invites participants to slow down and take an honest look at where they are operating from right now.
Kathleen guides participants through an energy audit process that brings clarity to how internal state is shaping work, relationships, leadership, and daily life.
This session supports participants to:
- Understand energy as a practical and personal leadership lens
- Identify current patterns of effort, pressure, and depletion
- Recognise how internal state is reflected in external reality
- Clarify intention and purpose for the retreat
This session establishes the baseline.
Nothing is changed yet. Everything is seen clearly.
Session Two
Alignment
Seeing where life is out of sync
This session deepens the work and moves into truth.
Participants are guided to explore where they are no longer aligned with themselves, where they may be operating from obligation or habit, and where energy is being compromised.
Drawing on her own experience, Kathleen offers grounded insight into how misalignment shows up and why it persists.
This session supports participants to:
- Identify areas of life and leadership that are out of sync
- Recognise the cost of over-responsibility and self-abandonment
- Notice where energy is leaking or misdirected
- Develop clarity without judgement or self-criticism
This is where honesty replaces autopilot.
Session Two
Integration
Choosing how you move forward
The final session brings everything together.
Participants integrate the awareness from session one and the clarity from session two, and consciously decide what needs to shift internally for life to change externally.
Kathleen shares how she has embodied this process in her own life, modelling what it looks like to move from insight into aligned action.
This session supports participants to:
- Clarify the internal shifts that matter most
- Identify what is no longer sustainable
- Make a clear personal commitment to a new way of operating
- Anchor intention into leadership, work, and daily life
This is not about pressure or perfection.
It is about clarity, responsibility, and choice.

What's My Investment?
The real question isn’t what this retreat costs.
It’s what it’s costing you to keep operating the way you are.
Staying switched on, carrying constant pressure, and managing everything from an unsustainable internal state doesn’t resolve itself. It compounds.
This retreat creates space to pause, see clearly, and consciously shift how you are leading your life before burnout forces the change.
Choosing not to invest is choosing to continue as you are.
Choosing to invest is taking responsibility for your internal state now.
This is not just an investment in a retreat.
It’s an investment in how you want to be living and leading a year from now.
The choice is yours.
ours.

Kathleen Davidson
Founder, Awakening Meraki
Kathleen Davidson is a mentor and facilitator for women in leadership who are ready to move beyond burnout, over-functioning, and the pressure to constantly push.
Her work is grounded in lived experience. Kathleen has consciously reshaped her life from the inside out, learning through her own journey how internal state, capacity, and alignment directly shape the way we lead, work, and live. Rather than teaching strategies to do more, she supports women to understand how they are operating, where they are out of alignment, and what needs to shift internally for life to change externally.
This retreat exists because Kathleen has lived the cost of doing everything “right” while slowly disconnecting from herself. She has experienced what it is like to hold responsibility in many areas of life, to be relied upon, and to keep going long after something inside knew it was no longer sustainable.
Through her own process of slowing down, recalibrating, and taking responsibility for her internal state, Kathleen learned that real change does not come from pushing harder. It comes from clarity, honesty, and choosing a different way of showing up.
She is hosting this retreat to offer women the space she once needed but could not find. A space to pause, look honestly at how they are operating, and reconnect with their capacity without pressure or performance.
Kathleen’s presence is calm, grounded, and direct. She creates environments where clarity emerges naturally, responsibility is reclaimed without force, and meaningful change becomes possible.
This retreat is held within Kathleen’s lived wisdom, embodied alignment, and deep commitment to a new way women lead, support one another, and move through the world.

"I was looping in unconscious patterns for years before I started this work."
Kathleen creates a safe, supportive space that has helped me recognise long-standing patterns and gently transmute lower frequencies with clarity and ease.
Her guidance has been invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend working with her to anyone seeking deeper awareness, healing, and alignment.
