Phoenix Rising Mauritius

Our daily structure balances focused learning with strategic integration time. Morning sessions dive deep into Phoenix Blueprint methodology, afternoons focus on application and peer coaching, with built-in reflection periods to ensure lasting transformation. You'll have time to process insights and build meaningful connections with other high-potential women - often the most valuable part of the experience.

All meals are included - breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring fresh local ingredients and Mauritian specialties. Meal times provide natural networking opportunities and are scheduled to support your energy and focus throughout the intensive.

Absolutely not. This intensive is designed for high-potential women regardless of their experience with self-leadership development programs. The methodology adapts to your current leadership level while pushing you toward authentic authority. What matters is your readiness to do the strategic inner work that transforms how you lead.

You'll receive a comprehensive packing guide 6 weeks before the retreat, but essentials include comfortable clothing for both sessions and activities, a journal for strategic reflection, swimwear for water activities, and any personal items that help you focus and perform at your best.

Yes. Recovery time is intentionally built into the intensive. We recognize that deep learning requires both focused engagement and reflection periods. While the program is comprehensive, you'll have scheduled breaks to recharge, process insights, or simply enjoy Mauritius.

This retreat attracts women from all walks of life who are ready for authentic leadership transformation. Expect a diverse group - from corporate executives to entrepreneurs, from mothers stepping back into leadership to women transitioning careers. What unites everyone is the commitment to leading more authentically in whatever capacity they serve.

Yes. Deep leadership development can sometimes feel uncomfortable as you examine long-held patterns. Our team is skilled at supporting participants through these growth edges, helping you process insights constructively and maintain your focus on transformation.

You'll be supported by: Lead facilitator Chantelle Botha of Phoenix, international coach and speaker on identity integrity; co-host Celina Peerman, international speaker and business psychology PhD; and Jessica Tierney, self-defense specialist for women.

No. While group sharing is powerful, nothing is ever forced. You'll always be invited, never pressured. We use a blend of group sharing and deep work in pairs or smaller breakaway groups, so there are multiple ways to engage and connect. However, if you have decided categorically that you will not share publicly, this may not be the event for you. Talk to me about a 1:1 solution.

Yes. Your retreat package includes all accommodation, meals, and guided activities. The only exceptions are alcoholic beverages, lunch on day 4 (during free time for personal exploration), and personal shopping. You'll need to arrange your own flights and airport transfers - if you need contacts, message me.

We encourage unplugging for maximum transformation, but WiFi is available in common areas when necessary. This is about choosing focus over distraction—but we respect that some situations require connectivity. If you cannot disconnect from work for several days, this intensive may not align with your current needs.

Yes. You'll join an exclusive post-retreat integration circle for ongoing connection and accountability with your cohort. Additionally, you'll have access to quarterly group coaching calls, implementation resources, and priority booking for future programs. You'll also have the opportunity to join Reclaim the Flame - our signature online program for continued leadership development. For deeper support, individual mentorship and ongoing coaching packages are available.

This retreat is for women regardless of relationship status—single, married, divorced, or partnered—who are ready for authentic leadership development. Most participants are between 30-55 and share a commitment to professional growth and personal authenticity. What matters most is your readiness to invest in strategic self-leadership transformation.

No, this retreat is not MQA (Mauritius Qualifications Authority) approved, as it is designed as a leadership development intensive rather than a professional certification program.

A 50% deposit secures your spot, with the balance due 30 days before arrival. We offer payment plans for those who need them - just message me to discuss options. Due to the intensive nature of this retreat and limited capacity, we operate a no-refund policy. However, you have two alternatives: you may transfer your ticket to another participant (subject to my approval after vetting), or convert your investment to other services such as Reclaim the Flame program or individual coaching sessions. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance to protect against unforeseen circumstances.

December is summer in Mauritius with warm, humid weather (25-30°C/77-86°F) and occasional tropical showers - perfect for our outdoor activities. Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, comfortable walking shoes, and a light rain jacket. Most international airlines service Mauritius via Dubai, Paris, or Johannesburg - if you need flight recommendations, message me. We accommodate all dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and cultural preferences - just let us know when you book. A detailed packing list and arrival guide will be sent 6 weeks before the retreat.

The Half Retreat (3 nights) focuses intensively on the core Phoenix Blueprint methodology, while the Full Retreat (5 nights) adds cultural immersion, individual coaching sessions, and deeper integration time - see our detailed agenda for specifics. This program is designed for both first-time retreat participants and experienced development seekers, with no prior experience required. We expect full participation in scheduled sessions for maximum transformation, but understand that wellness needs may occasionally require flexibility - just communicate with me directly. The intensive nature means missing multiple sessions significantly impacts your experience and the group dynamic.

You'll receive access to our exclusive Phoenix Alumni Network immediately after the retreat, including quarterly group coaching calls, implementation resources, and ongoing connection with your cohort. Individual coaching packages start at [your rate] per session, and Reclaim the Flame program enrollment is available at alumni pricing. Extended mentorship programs are also offered - all pricing and packages can be discussed during your final day integration session or by messaging me directly. The goal is to support your continued leadership transformation long after you leave Mauritius.
