Phoenix Rising Mauritius

Mornings are for going deep. We dive into the hard stuff—the identity work, the uncomfortable truths, the patterns you didn't know were running your life. This is where the Phoenix Blueprint comes alive—not as theory, but as a mirror you can't look away from.

Afternoons are for integration. You don't just learn it—you live it. Peer coaching. Real conversations. Practice. Sometimes movement. Sometimes silence. Whatever you need to let it land in your body, not just your brain.

Evenings are yours. To process. To journal. To sit with what came up. To connect with the other women who are doing this work alongside you.

No. You don't need experience with any of this.

You don't need to have done "inner work" before. You don't need to know what identity mapping is. You don't need to have read the book or taken a course or meditated or journaled or any of it.

What you need is to be ready.

Ready to stop pretending you have it all figured out.
Ready to look at the parts of yourself you've been avoiding.
Ready to admit that the masks are exhausting and you can't keep this up.

That's it.

Comfortable clothes. We're doing movement work, embodiment practices, and some sessions where you might be on the floor. Leave the power suits at home. Bring what makes you feel like yourself—not what you think you "should" wear.

A journal. Not for note-taking. For truth-telling. For the thoughts that come up at 2am. For the breakthroughs you need to capture before they slip away.

Swimwear. Because sometimes the best processing happens in water.

Whatever helps you feel grounded. Your favorite hoodie. That book you keep meaning to read. Headphones for when you need to be alone. This isn't about performing retreat vibes—it's about being yourself while you do the work.

And leave space in your suitcase. You're not coming home the same woman. You might need room for who you're becoming.

Yes. And you'll need it.

This work is intense—not because we're packing your schedule, but because facing yourself is exhausting.

You'll have time to disappear. To sit by the ocean. To process what came up. To cry if you need to. To laugh with the other women. To be alone with your thoughts. To do absolutely nothing.

The breakthroughs don't happen on command. They happen when you give yourself space to feel what you've been avoiding. So we built that space in.

Some women use it to journal. Some walk the beach. Some nap. Some sit in silence and let it all land.

Do whatever you need. This is your retreat. Not a boot camp.

Women who are done.

Done performing. Done pretending. Done living by someone else's definition of success.

Some are running companies. Some are running households. Some are climbing the corporate ladder while questioning if they even want to be on it. Some are entrepreneurs who built something impressive but feel like they're losing themselves in the process.

Different lives. Same exhaustion.

What they all have in common? They're beautifully over it. And they're brave enough to admit it.

You'll be with women who get it. Who won't judge you when you cry. Who won't be impressed by your resume. Who will call you out when you're bullshitting yourself—and celebrate you when you finally tell the truth.

These are your people. The ones who understand that success without authenticity is just a prettier version of breaking.

Yes. And you probably will get overwhelmed at some point.

This isn't light work. When you start pulling back the layers and seeing the patterns you've been living in—it can feel like a lot.

You might cry. You might get angry. You might want to run. You might think, "What the hell did I sign up for?"

That's normal. That's part of it.

And when it happens, I'm here. Not to fix you or talk you out of it—but to sit with you in it. To remind you that what you're feeling is the breakthrough trying to happen. To help you move through it, not over it.

You can take a break. You can step outside. You can ask for one-on-one time. You can tell me you need to slow down.

This work is intense—but it's not meant to break you. It's meant to bring you home to yourself. And I won't let you do that alone.

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.

I get it. And I'm not going to force you.

Group sharing is powerful—but only when it's authentic. If you're performing vulnerability because you think you're supposed to, that defeats the whole point.

We work in pairs. In small groups. In one-on-ones. There are plenty of ways to do this work without standing up in front of everyone and spilling your guts.

But here's the truth: If you've already decided categorically that you won't share anything publicly—if that's a hard line—this might not be the right fit.

Because part of this work is being seen. Not performing. Not pretending. Just... being honest in front of other humans who are doing the same thing.

If that feels impossible right now, let's talk. I offer 1:1 coaching for women who need a different container.

But if you're willing to be uncomfortable (not unsafe—uncomfortable), then we'll meet you where you are. And you might surprise yourself.

Yes. Accommodation, meals, and all the retreat activities are covered.

The only things you're paying for separately:

• Alcohol (if you want it)

• Personal shopping (obviously)

Flights and airport transfers are on you. But if you need recommendations or contacts for drivers, message me. I'll sort you out.

Everything else? Handled. So you can focus on the work—not logistics.

There's WiFi. But I'm going to challenge you to use it as little as possible.

If you absolutely need to check in—fine. It's available in common areas. But ask yourself: Is this actually urgent, or am I just avoiding what I'm feeling?

Here's the truth: If you can't disconnect from work for four days, you're not ready for this retreat. You can't do deep work if half your brain is still at the office.

If that's where you are right now, I get it. But this might not be the right time.

You don't just leave and figure it out alone.

You'll have the option to join a post-retreat circle with your cohort—the women who were in the fire with you. Because going back to real life after this work can be disorienting, and you need people who get it.

And if you want to go deeper, there's Reclaim the Flame—my signature online program that takes this work further.

Or if you need more support than that, we can talk about 1:1 coaching. But you'll know what you need after the retreat.

The point is: You're not on your own after this. The work doesn't end when you leave Mauritius. It's just beginning.

Yes. I'm a certified life coach, founder of Phoenix Confidence, and author of Phoenix Rising.

I've spent over a decade working with executives, entrepreneurs, and women who look successful on the outside but are falling apart on the inside. I have training in leadership development and business psychology—but honestly? My real credential is that I've lived this.

I planned my suicide. I had my Phoenix moment. I rebuilt my identity from the ground up. And now I help other women do the same.

I'm supported by Celina Peerman (PhD in business psychology, international speaker) and Jessica Tierney (women's self-defense specialist).

If you want to see my professional work, it's all at phoenixconfidence.com.

But here's what matters more than certifications: I won't bullshit you. I won't sugarcoat it. And I won't let you hide from yourself.

Both. All of it. Doesn't matter.

Single women. Married women. Divorced women. Partnered women. Women figuring it out.

Your relationship status isn't the point. The point is whether you're ready to stop performing and start being yourself.

Most women who come are between 30-55, but that's just because that's when the masks start to feel unbearable. When you've been performing long enough to realize you can't keep it up.

What matters is this: Are you done? Are you ready to face yourself? Are you willing to do the work?

If yes—you're the right woman for this retreat.

No. This isn't a certification program—it's a transformation experience.

You won't leave with a credential to put on LinkedIn. You'll leave knowing who the hell you are.

50% deposit locks in your spot. The rest is due 30 days before the retreat.

If you need a payment plan, message me. We'll figure it out.

No refunds. I know that sounds harsh, but here's why: This retreat has limited spots, and when you book, I'm turning other women away. So I need you to be committed.

But if something comes up, you have options:

• Transfer your spot to another woman (I'll need to vet her first—this isn't for everyone)

• Convert your investment to Reclaim the Flame (my online program) or 1:1 coaching sessions

And honestly? Get travel insurance. Life happens. Protect yourself.

December in Mauritius is summer—warm, humid, and gorgeous. Expect 25-30°C (77-86°F) and maybe some tropical showers. Nothing that'll ruin your day.

Pack light: Breathable clothes, swimwear, comfy shoes, and a light rain jacket just in case.

Flights: Most international airlines go through Dubai, Paris, or Johannesburg. If you need help figuring out routes, message me.

Dietary stuff: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, cultural preferences—whatever you need, just tell me when you book. We'll sort it.

I'll send you a full packing list and arrival guide 6 weeks out. But honestly? You don't need much. Just yourself—and the willingness to show up fully.

What's the program structure?

Four days. One focus: Identity integrity.

We use the Phoenix Identity Map to take you through:

• Day 1: Conscious Identity (who you show the world)

• Day 2: Unconscious Identity (what's running the show beneath the surface)

• Day 3: Emotions (the bridge between the two)

• Day 4: Leadership (integrating it all and stepping into who you actually are)

No prior experience required. Just full presence. If you need to miss a session for health or wellness reasons, tell me. But the work is cumulative—miss too much and you'll lose the thread. And so will the group.
