Becoming You is a virtual retreat for modern women who want to gain clarity in their life, re-focus on what's most important, and develop a plan of action to move forward.
If you've ever thought "I wish I could just get a chunk of time away to get my mind clear and figure my life out" - this is it.

Holy S#%@, 2020! Am I right?
So much has been turned upside down
this year, and we're all feeling it.
You may have entered this pandemic with the intention to slow down and get re-focused on what's important.
Yet, as time passes you're slipping back into old patterns of busy-ness, not taking time for your Self, and reacting to life instead of creating it.
On top of that, there's BIG stuff you want to show up for and need to manage energy around: elections, climate change, a movement that calls us all to finally step up to dismantle white supremacy culture...so much stuff.
This retreat promises a gentle, impactful experience to help you get clear, prioritize, see the support available to you, identify obstacles that get in the way, and create your own path forward.

-
You wanted to use this stay at home "pause" to move closer to the life you really want, but feel busier than ever and frustrated that you haven't been able to figure out the right balance
-
You're having a hard time managing priorities and can't seem to figure out how to relax, let go, decompress
-
You feel like a zombie, waking up and doing the same thing day after day
-
Everyone seems to need your energy - partners, kids, loved ones, friends, work
-
You're struggling with a sense of purpose and long-term meaning to put your job, home, relationships, etc into perspective
-
You've got constant mental chatter, overthinking about daily, weekly, & future tasks, schedules, planning, etc.
-
You feel unmoored or without a real sense of path or clarity for what you've been doing or what's next
-
You experience waves of stress, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, depletion; your heart aches and you have a deep longing in your soul
-
You feel like you can never do enough, you're never good enough
-
You are extra critical and judgmental toward yourself and others
-
You feel like something is wrong with you or that you are going crazy, because the pace and demands of the world seem to be operating like things are back to normal when things are not normal
-
All of your trips and rejuvenating activities have been cancelled, and you are desperate for time away from daily home life
-
You're missing community and time with women
You were connected with your inner voice and what was important to you instead of adapting to fit everyone around you
You trusted yourself, your instincts, your inner strength
You felt a sense of meaning and contentment: clarity, joy, peace
You focused on your priorities and made time for what's important
You chilled the heck out, took time for your Self, had some freakin' fun
You were in the moment with your loved ones waaaay more often
You weren't so hard on yourself and took a compassionate approach to your challenges
You had a clear picture of your future goals and the path to get there
You confidently set boundaries, decide what you will say yes or no to, and have challenging conversations
You knew you are not alone in your struggles, and felt sincere connection with other women.
You felt free! and were creating a life that's an expression of your authentic self.
I've had times when I've felt lost, defeated, and couldn't see the path forward.
You know...times where I just wanted to hide from my family and the world in the bathroom with a glass of wine.
During those times I couldn't organize my thoughts enough to access my own knowing. I desperately wished someone would just give me steps to get clear and move forward -- someone to sit with me and guide me out of my confusion and stuckness.
The Becoming You Map is my offering to help women feeling similarly to move forward.
There are no magic solutions to this big work of designing the life you want and shifting deeply engrained beliefs and behaviors. Yet, every time you put in the time to reflect, get clear, and focus on how you are approaching various areas of your life you move closer.
You have every resource within you to contact your inner knowing, get clear about your priorities, and see your path forward.
Now is a great time to start on that journey.
I'm here to guide you.
You'll get access to virtual live group coaching sessions, Rachel via Marco Polo and email, all required materials shipped directly to you, plus connection with other inspiring women...
...so you can get reconnect to your intuition, get clear about your priorities, plan for obstacles with more grace for yourself, shape a path forward, and live your life more wild & free.
YOU'LL CREATE YOUR MAP TO LIVE WILD & FREE
Access these qualities within your Self. You'll develop awareness, clarity, and energy to move forward with a life that is authentic to your wild nature.

In organizations we regularly dedicate time to planning and strategy: where we are going and how we will get there. So, why is it that we don’t give this same care and attention to the direction we want for our lives and what it will take to get there?
This retreat is all about taking the time to create this level of clarity, focus for your Self.
Over the course of the retreat you will be guided through each of the elements pictured above, ultimately building out your own Becoming You Map and gaining:
-
A clear picture of what's most important to you and what you really want
-
Your path to creating the life you want
-
Inner clarity to make it easier to set boundaries, decide what you will say yes or no to
-
The ability to identify and prepare for the obstacles, beliefs, and behaviors that get in the way for you
-
A reminder that there are people in your life ready and willing to support you
-
Time and space to gather your thoughts and take a much-needed pause
The Becoming You retreat combines principles from leadership and organizational strategy with powerful personal development practices.
Think of it as supportive life planning, with a group of amazing women to cheer you on. You'll create your very own Becoming You map to take you forward after the retreat.
THE BECOMING YOU MAP
Values (How)
To experience true integrity, alignment, connection to your nature you have to know and honor your core values consistently. What are yours?
Purpose (Why)
Get connected to your deeper meaning. What is all of this for? In what way is this an expression of why I’m here?
Mission (What)
What do you want (really want) in your life? What are you working towards? What is it you’re trying to do, here? Narrow this for the many areas of your life.
Ways of Knowing
How will you know you're on track or making progress? Explore a variety of ways of knowing and choose what works for you.
Obstacles
Identify what might get in the way and what you can do to get ahead of that.
Pillars, Practices, Actions
Clearly outline the pillars you need to focus on in order to create the life you want. Then break down the habits, practices, activities that will support those pillars.
Your People
We all need community. Identify the people available to support you, those you may need to add to your circle, and how to ask for help.
Most times, we struggle to create the space needed to think clearly about what matters, what we want out of our lives. This retreat was masterful at giving space, direction and time to think, to allow the ideas and desires we want to have to come to light. It was an open and friendly atmosphere where laughter was easy and creativity flowed freely. Well done. The experience was incredible.

If getting still and clear is "all you accomplish" in 2020, that would be enough.
I know there are so many unknowns right now.
Yet, you do have control over your dreams, goals and intentions.
Even if you're feeling maxed, you CAN claim this time to focus on your Self.
Focus on you so you can move out of 2020 grounded and ready to show up authentically for whatever the new year brings.
Yes, Becoming You is for you even if you...
...don't have enough time as it is (you need this more than ever)
...feel overwhelmed and afraid at the thought of opening up "your stuff"
...aren't even quite sure WHAT would make you feel better
...have a lot going well in your life, but still feel unsettled or off
...feel like such a mess right now that you don't even know where to start
HI, I'M RACHEL BUTLER
I'M THE FOUNDER OF WILD SOULS RISING AND WILL BE YOUR COACH AND GUIDE INSIDE THE BECOMING YOU RETREAT
.png)
I have a love for all things growth and development and get super fired up about seeing women live life on their terms and step into leadership, especially to create positive social change.
I've used my 11+ years in coaching, leadership, and group development as well as my own experiences to create
powerful programming that offers tangible skills that will move you forward (this is not instagram "spiritual influencer" fluff).
In my own life and my work, I see too many women getting bogged down in the relentless monotony of our daily lives
-
The mountains of responsibility
-
Taking care of others
-
Struggling to identify what we really want
-
Getting out of touch with our inner knowing due to the constant messages that tell us what we "should" be or do
I understand the pressures we as women face to be all things to all people -- and the ways in which these default beliefs and behaviors take us away from the contributions we're really meant to make.
THE BECOMING YOU RETREAT IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU REGAIN CLARITY AND FOCUS ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, WITH LIVE LESSONS THAT DON'T REQUIRE A BUNCH OF HOMEWORK.
MORE ABOUT RACHEL
I grew up WILD in rural Alaska and now live in Seattle, WA, where I spend most of my time creating, coaching, developing leaders, wrangling my two little boys, and trying to find my own sense of balance and contribution.
I combine simplicity - and just the right amount of "woo" from my rural Alaskan roots - with leading thinking in leadership and personal development from my 11+ years working with leaders, especially women.
I have a Masters in Organizational Systems with a specialization in Leadership in Organizational Development, am a Professional Co-Active Coach, a trained Executive Coach through Saybrook University, a ProSci Certified Change Management Practitioner, a Certified Centering Facilitator, and have a B.S. in Nutrition. I've followed personal studies in Soul Reclamation, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, Applied Behavioral Sciences, Humanistic and Positive Psychology, Neuroscience, Conflict Mediation, and more.
Thank you for a weekend of insight, challenge, reflection, and fun. You provided a safe and supportive environment to explore my values, how they are evident in my life, actions, and choices, and I feel recharged and hopeful as I head back home.

This program IS for you if...
-
You've been feeling like something in your life isn't quite right
-
You feel a call for something more or different
-
You want to answer that call but aren't sure how to get started
-
You are some version of stuck, bored, lost, foggy, unsure, unclear
-
You're fed up with your old patterns, behaviors, beliefs
-
You instinctively know this is the right time
- You're frankly just sick of your own BS and ready to take action
This program IS NOT for you if...
-
You can't make all of the sessions. The content is designed to be completed live, and the sessions build on one another. For that reason, you'll need to commit to all sessions.
-
You want to consume a program passively. You'll be creating your own map/art piece over the course of the program. This program is designed for your growth, participation, and for connection with other women. This is a safe and welcoming space and I encourage you to show up in your own way (introverts welcome!) I just ask that you bring your engagement.

I'm terrified of the woo-woo, but you pulled it off in a way that pushed my boundaries without stressing me out! I appreciated the depth vs. more typical superficial layer we more often come together around in our culture.
You are SO skilled at what you do as a facilitator. The palimpsest is there, but the effect of this time together on my perspective is profound. I am finding that lightness that other people described is hitting me now. Many thanks to you.

WHEN WILL WE MEET LIVE FOR THE PROGRAM?
The live meetings will be Friday, 10/16 6-7:30pm, Saturday 10/17 9am-1:30pm, Saturday 10/24 9am-1:30pm, Sunday 10/25 9-11 am. All times are in Pacific Standard Time (PST)
WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE A LIVE SESSION?
You'll really want to make the sessions live for this retreat, as it's heavily based on live process and interaction. The recording will be available for a limited time in case you are unable to attend live at the last minute.
WHAT'S THE TIME COMMITMENT?
The content is designed to be completed during the scheduled retreat times. You may choose to add more to your project during the week, but it most likely won't be necessary.
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT WILL I GET?
I'll be available during live sessions to answer questions, and your fellow group members will be a great place to seek support during sessions. I'll also be available via email or Marco Polo to offer additional support.
Some clients also choose to sign up for 1:1 coaching for more personalized support (two 30-minutes sessions are included as a bonus with enrollment before September 24th).
CAN I CANCEL?
You may cancel and receive a refund, less processing fees, up until October 7th.
Full refunds will not be issued beyond October 7th.
