Hey There! I’m Shelly Bartosek, curator of retreats.

Providing space for you to thrive, bloom, and flourish through the seasons of your life.

Circle of Self Discovery — I curate retreats and workshops for women, who like myself, are navigating the seasons of life. I know your life is full of chaos and you hardly have any time for yourself. That’s my life!

Creating Circle of Self Discovery Women’s Retreats was built out of a need to create my own personal space where I might rediscover myself, interests, passions, and experience life on my own terms. Out of this desire emerged a deep calling, a need, to create space where I could invite women to come together.

Circle of Self Discovery is all about providing space for you to THRIVE | BLOOM | FLOURISH — Embracing the seasons of your life, celebrating the very individual journey of living as experienced and valued by you.

Circle of Self Discovery Women’s Retreats are all about providing space for you to THRIVE | BLOOM | FLOURISH — Embracing the seasons of your life, celebrating your very individual journey of living as experienced and valued by you.

When life is full of chaos and you hardly have any time for yourself.

When you are just surviving. The Circle of Self Discovery provides space and opportunity to step away from your day-to-day living.

Thrive–Thriving is not a destination. It is an ongoing journey that continues to take place. Your life is meant to thrive, and not just survive. Embrace your thrive journey. Life only gets better as you thrive.

Bloom– Planting seeds within you that will grow and bloom.

Flourish–Growing within the safe space of a retreat, where you will grow well, and thrive

The Circle of Self Discovery provides space and opportunity to step away from your day-to-day living.

In our time together we’ll look at the ultimate questions that come from the experience of living life in the midst of a global pandemic:

What now?

How do I move forward?

What do I want more of in my life?

And less of?

Join me for one, two, or all three, of these unique 2-hour virtual mini-retreats where you will be guided through a personal journey of reflection, mindful meditation, and evaluation, exploring more deeply what is truly important to you. Each retreat will be dedicated to nurturing HOPE, HEALTH, and HAPPINESS while contemplating further: What did you learn? What do you want to dismiss? How to relook at the lens through which you see the world?

During our time together, you’ll have the opportunity to . . .

Understand the vital importance of stillness, gratitude, setting intentions, and daily journaling.
(Re)assess your priorities: What brings you peace? What lifts your spirits? What brings you joy?
Commit to spending more time with experiences that inspire you: more time in nature, more time with affirming friends, more time in stillness, more clarity on what makes you truly happy.

You will return to your life inspired, with new tools and ideas for becoming the woman you want to be!
