The Changemaker Summit is a life-changing retreat experience of soul restoring work and empowerment for women of all ages, backgrounds, and professions. Together we will laugh and cry, surrounded by a community who will empower you to live a big, brave, beautiful life in whatever way best fits your dreams. Plan to dig deep, mine the gold within you, and reach towards growth and inspiration.

It takes a lot to be a changemaker, and even more to lead from your heart. No matter where you are in your life, what you've been through on your path — no matter what you’re trying to create right now, how big your dream is, how big your team is… You’ll sometimes lose steam. You’ll sometimes lose perspective. You’ll sometimes even lose your sense of self.

Even when you look all put together on the outside, sometimes you’re so exhausted on the inside. When you’re exhausted, it’s hard to maintain the kind of healthy boundaries and perspective that keep you mentally healthy and emotionally strong. The loneliness can take such a toll.

Changemakers need time and space to dream new dreams. We need time as a community, with others who understand the challenges.

Your mission and purpose does not have to be the death of your vitality. You really CAN give of your greatest gifts as your most ALIVE self. And this is the best thing you can do for the people you serve, to show them by example how to take care of what is most sacred in your life, tending to your own life in such a powerful way that you have enough left over to serve in a powerful way.

Come and be nurtured back to the center of who you are. Come and be reminded about your deepest strengths and your unique core purpose. Come and join a collaborative group of other changemakers, each working toward a better way to live their lives without giving up their passion to serve in the world.

If you’re in a rut or need inspiration, please come and be with us at this retreat, where you will emerge on the other side as the powerful force that you are.

What should I wear?
Comfy is key for Changemaker Summit! We will be in Texas in the summer, so the outdoors will be warm and the indoors nice and air conditioned. If you'd like to go horseback riding boots are acceptable but not required, swimming suits for swimming in the creek, casual for session.

I'm not from Austin, where do I fly into?
Austin Bergstrom Airport is about a 30 min drive from our event location. Once application is accepted, we will share the address for your travel planning.

What time should I arrive and depart?
Our welcome reception begins at 5 pm on Thursday July 23, and our program ends at approximately 10 am on Sunday July 26.

If you still have questions about whether the Changemaker Summit is right for you, we would love to chat!

Proceeds from this event will benefit Austin Angels. The mission of Austin Angels is to walk alongside children and families in the foster care system through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. This critical work is done through the Love Box program and Dare to Dream mentorship program.
