Featured Recent Past Event
June 6-9, 2025, France
The Alchemy of Sophia: A Women’s Retreat Exploring Sacred Feminine Landscapes.
A group mindfulness women’s retreat offered a ‘pilgrimage’ and adventure in the Dordogne region of France, venturing deep into one’s own heart and the heart of Perigord Noir, the ‘dark Forest’ of Evergreen Oaks. This event took place in the bucolic countryside near the medieval village of Sarlat and the Lascaux caves. Immersing in French culture, we connected with history, culture and ancestral energies there. While also practicing mindfulness and presence, we deepened our connections within and without with the elements of earth, water, fire and air—becoming attuned to the magnificent internal and external landscapes that unfurled before us on The Renaissance Road. Participants were executive and professional women seeking a meaningful mindfulness, stress-reduction and cultural adventure to “recharge their batteries” and refresh their beings.
“Wonderful! I recently joined a mindfulness coaching retreat with Elizabeth, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. Her thoughtful pre-retreat activities, detailed planning and the depth of the retreat itself went far beyond what I had hoped for. Elizabeth brought insight, care and presence to every part of the journey. I wholeheartedly recommend her and am already looking forward to the next opportunity to learn with her.”
“Perceptive, insightful and caring. I had the opportunity to participate in a mindfulness coaching retreat with Elizabeth recently. She exceeded my already sky-high expectations for the experience with her pre-retreat activities, meticulous preparation, and meaningful retreat experiences. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elizabeth, and I eagerly await the next mindfulness retreat!”

Consulting
Discover the Renaissance Road to your own enlightening solutions. It starts with a single thought, followed by a single step in a new direction.
- Strategic Planning
- Proposal Development
- Grant Writing
- Program Planning and Development
- White Papers and Publications
- Cultivation Initiatives
- Business Writing/Content Development
- Organizational Training and Speaking Engagements
Whether strategic planning, developing proposals or engaging in various sorts of cultivation initiatives, training or program planning in the healthcare and non-profit landscape—Awareness of how to navigate complex systems is required, and the key to begin to understand, unlock, and unfetter the system is the underlying story.
The Renaissance Road approach makes use of evidence-based practices in consulting such as appreciative inquiry and Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats Analyses (SWOT) coupled with Renaissance Road innovations to help you identify how to prepare now for the road ahead.
What’s Your Story?
All of Awareness Communications® consulting initiatives start with building a new and evolving awareness of your story and that of your organization. The consulting relationship itself is a customized, unique journey together, not a cookie cutter experience, in which
- We examine the nature of your professional story of your journey so far and the journey ahead.
- Let’s also consider your organization’s story to date and strategically for the future.
- We can ultimately integrate these elements to co-create new ways to think about the way these weave together—building new possible narratives emerging from these stories, as well as perspective and awareness.
- Then together we generate and deliver new messaging and strategies with innovation and clarity—using a seven step proprietary process.
Our activities as we journey together along the Renaissance Road are all designed to help you along your way to achieve the enlightened solutions in the awareness communications you are seeking to develop or enhance. Our proprietary processes help you to find your way as you move toward your True North.
“When our awareness awakens, a single thought, tiny though it seems, may contain a universe. Now, that’s enlightening.” ~C. Elizabeth Leach

Empowering the ‘Professional Ruminators’ in Your Caseload
Solution-Focused Approaches to Disrupt the Master Loop and Find Flow: Advanced Strategies to Break the Cycles of High-Functioning Overthinking

Key Learning Objectives:

- Apply RF-CBT strategies to help clients interrupt automatic cognitive loops and shift into experiential processing.

Building the Patient Active Perspective
Promoting Empowerment of Patients and Families Amidst Serious Diagnosis
Course Overview: Receiving a new serious health diagnosis can be an overwhelming, life-altering event. Modern healthcare systems, while technologically advanced, are increasingly complex, fragmented, and bureaucratic—often triggering a helpless ‘passive recipient’ mindset in patients and their families. This workshop equips healthcare and mental health professionals with essential skills to help clients manage worry, cultivate resilience, and actively engage in their healthcare journey. Participants will learn how to serve as systemic change agents, guiding patients and families to rediscover an internal locus of control and optimize well-being through a health crisis.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Identify systemic and psychological factors that induce a ‘passive recipient’ mindset in patients facing a serious medical diagnosis.
- Apply evidence-based strategies to assist patients and families in managing acute worry, building resilience, and restoring an internal locus of control.
- Implement patient-centered advocacy techniques that empower clients to navigate fragmented, complex healthcare systems as active participants.
Who Should Attend: Healthcare professionals, Health Administrators, Nurses, Social Workers, Mental Health Practitioners, Allied Health Professionals, Patient Advocates, and Support Group Leaders.
Format & CE Information: Course can be offered either as a live, synchronous online educational event or home study contingent on arrangements with the sponsoring organization.

Navigating the Group Soul: Advanced Facilitation Skills
Master the Unseen Forces that Shape Group Safety and Transformation
Course Overview: Facilitating a group is far more than hosting a friendly conversation—it is the art of monitoring and actively managing complex psychological undercurrents and dynamic forces. Left unaddressed or untended, these unseen forces can stall progress, create unnecessary discomfort, or devolve into toxic interactions. This experiential intensive dives deep into the ‘here-and-now’ of group life, equipping facilitators to navigate even the most challenging group moments with clinical confidence, psychological safety, and genuine skill.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Establish rock-solid foundational norms and agreements to cultivate psychological safety and assist members in navigating group anxieties through differentiation.
