Evolve.
An intimate six-day retreat for ten women.
September 20-25, 2026 Lake Cowichan, Vancouver Island, Canada
There comes a point when the life you've built no longer feels like the whole story.
From the outside, very little may have changed.
You're still capable.
People still rely on you.
Life still works.
But something no longer fits in quite the same way.
You don't necessarily know what comes next.
You simply know you can't keep moving through life as you have been.
Evolve was created for that point.
A chance to step away from the pace of everyday life.
To rest.
To reflect.
To spend time with the questions that never seem to find enough space.
Not to become someone new.
But to return to your life with a different relationship to yourself.
This Retreat Is For…
Evolve is for the woman who knows something in her life is changing, even if she can't yet name it.
From the outside, very little may have changed.
She's still showing up.
Still carrying responsibility.
Still doing what needs to be done.
But the pace she's been living no longer feels sustainable.
The answers that once came so easily don't arrive in quite the same way.
She's not looking for another strategy.
She's looking for enough space to understand what this point in her life is asking of her.
When You Don't Know What's Next
One of the most common things I hear from women is:
"I know something needs to change, but I don't know what."
Not because they're incapable of making decisions.
Often because they've reached a point where the life they've built no longer fits in quite the same way, but what comes next hasn't fully revealed itself.
Our first instinct is usually to figure it out.
To make a plan.
To solve the problem.
Some moments in life don't respond to that.
They ask something different.
Time.
Space.
Honesty.
That's why we created Evolve.
What You'll Leave With.
Every woman arrives with her own questions, experiences, and reasons for being here.
Because of that, no two retreats unfold in exactly the same way.
Over the weeks and months afterwards, we often hear things like:
"I finally had the conversation I'd been avoiding."
"The decision I'd been going back and forth on suddenly felt obvious."
"I stopped waiting for someone else to change."
"I didn't realize how much energy I'd been spending second-guessing myself."
Sometimes a relationship becomes easier.
Sometimes it ends.
What changes is the certainty with which women begin meeting their lives.
They stop looking over their shoulder for someone else's answer.
They stop forcing what no longer fits.
And they begin trusting themselves enough to live differently.
Over the years, we found ourselves meeting more and more women at the same point in their lives.
From the outside, very little had changed.
Yet they all described a similar feeling.
The way they had been living no longer fit in quite the same way it once had.
We also noticed something else.
A meaningful experience didn't always lead to meaningful change.
People could leave a retreat feeling completely different.
Then return home and slowly fall back into the same ways of living.
We created Evolve because we wanted something more than a powerful week away.
We wanted to create an experience that people could continue living long after they returned home.
Why
Evolve
Exists
The Details
Evolve is a six-day retreat held on the pristine shores of Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, Canada.
To preserve the intimacy of the experience, participation is limited to ten women. The small group allows for meaningful connection, individual support, and the flexibility to respond to what is actually present rather than following a rigid formula.
While there are themes we explore throughout the week, this is not a retreat built around a fixed curriculum. Each gathering is shaped by the women who are there and what feels most important to explore together.
There will be time for conversation, reflection, somatic exploration, nature, rest, and integration. We've found that some of the most meaningful moments often happen outside the scheduled sessions - on the dock, over a meal, during a walk, or in the quiet that comes when life finally slows down.
The intention is simple: to create the conditions for greater clarity, self-trust, and connection to yourself.

What We'll
Explore Together
What no longer fits?
What have I known for a long time?
What keeps asking for my attention?
What am I making harder than it needs to be?
Where have I been putting myself last?
What have I been waiting for?
What would change if I stopped trying to figure everything out?
What feels true now that didn't a year ago?
What matters now?
Day 1: Arriving
Theme: Slowing Down
Most women don't realize how much they're carrying until they stop.
Not just external noise, but the constant mental activity that comes from making decisions, managing responsibilities, caring for others, and trying to stay ahead of everything life requires.
The first day is about settling in.
There is no pressure to share, perform, or figure anything out. Instead, we'll begin slowing the pace enough for your nervous system to catch up with you.
We'll gather, connect, enjoy the beauty of the lake, and begin creating the conditions for the week ahead.
Day 2: Heart Journey
Theme: Hearing Yourself Again
At the heart of the retreat is a full-day of inwards guidance.
Throughout the day, you'll be supported by Brea and Sukhi, with space before, during, and afterwards to help you stay connected to your own experience.
When the usual distractions fall away, we often begin to notice what has been waiting for our attention. Questions that have gone unanswered. Feelings we've been too busy to acknowledge. Truths we've sensed but haven't fully trusted.
This day is not about becoming someone different. It's about creating an opportunity to see yourself more clearly and explore what may be ready to emerge.
Note: Because this experience includes ceremonial medicine, a personal conversation is required prior to registration to ensure the retreat is a supportive fit for you.
Day 3: Letting Go
Theme: What Are You Carrying?
Over time, we all accumulate responsibilities, expectations, and ways of being that once served a purpose but may no longer belong in the life we're living today.
This day is an opportunity to look honestly at what you're carrying and whether it still feels aligned with who you are becoming.
Some things may be ready to be released. Others may simply need a different relationship. Through conversation, reflection, and guided exploration, we'll create space to examine what feels heavy, what feels true, and what may be asking to change.
Day 4: Remembering
Theme: Living From What You Know
By now, the pace of the week has usually begun to settle.
The questions that felt urgent when you arrived often don't carry quite the same weight.
This day is about paying attention to what remains.
Through conversation, reflection, and direct experience, we'll continue exploring what feels true, what no longer fits, and what you're ready to carry home with you.
Day 5: Emergence
Theme: What Comes Next
The questions that felt urgent at the beginning of the week often feel different. What once seemed confusing may not be completely resolved, but it is often easier to see.
Rather than trying to define the future, this day is about paying attention to what feels alive, honest, and ready to move forward.
Sometimes the next step becomes clear.
Sometimes what emerges is a deeper trust in your ability to navigate whatever comes next.
Both are valuable.
Day 6: Returning
Theme: Bringing It Home
The retreat may be coming to an end, but the conversations don't end here.
This final day is about returning home. Rather than leaving with another list of things to do, we'll explore how to carry what feels true into your relationships, your work, your family, and the responsibilities waiting for you at home.
Because lasting change rarely comes from one week alone, your support continues beyond the retreat. Through your post-retreat integration sessions and three weeks of individual guidance with Brea and Sukhi, we'll continue the conversation as you begin settling back into daily life.

Co-facilitatorBrea Segger is fascinated by what happens when people stop living the life they think they should want and begin paying attention to what is actually true for them.
What began as a personal search became a decades-long exploration of growth, leadership, relationships, business, spirituality, human behavior, and the many ways we lose—and find—ourselves throughout a lifetime.
Through private mentorship, retreats, and transformational experiences, Brea works with individuals navigating growth, transition, and the often uncomfortable space between who they've been and who they're becoming. Her work is less about providing answers and more about helping people reconnect with their own inner knowing, trust themselves more deeply, and create lives that feel genuinely aligned.
Known for her thoughtful questions, grounded presence, and ability to see beneath the surface of what people present to the world, Brea creates spaces where honesty, clarity, and meaningful change can emerge naturally.

Accommodations
& Investment
When Brea and Sukhi began looking for a home for Evolve, they kept coming back to Lake Cowichan.
Brea spent many summers here growing up and has always returned to the way this place changes the pace of a day. Life settles into a different pace. Conversations linger a little longer. People find themselves sitting on the dock, walking through the trees, or watching the light change across the lake without feeling the need to be anywhere else.
That's the environment they wanted for Evolve. Not simply because it's beautiful, but because it supports the kind of week they've created.
Below you'll find the accommodation options and investment details.
