About Our Take the Step Retreats
& Self Discovery Workshop

Life is a journey. Every day is a new voyage with our Dreams, Heart and Spirit as our sails. What happens when we go through life on auto-pilot? We forget our inner voice. Self-doubt creeps in. We leave our hopes and dreams behind us, beached on  a rocky shore.
                                         No more.
Grace Cirocco invites you to rediscover your authentic voice, to recognize the power that lies inside you and to envision your life the way it could be. Our women's weekend retreats have been called "spring cleaning for the heart”, “life changing” and women just like you have said it was "the most powerful weekend of my life". Others have called it a “boot camp equivalent to five years of therapy". One-hour therapy sessions go only so far. At our weekend, incredible healing shifts occur because the experience is intensive and the change happens in the emotional brain. You will get the chance to look at all areas of your life (health, relationships, career, family, Spirit) and address issues holistically. You will also receive the tools to maintain resilience from the inside out including mind, body, heart and soul.

Using a combination of personal stories, exploratory self-awareness exercises, poetry, music and lecture, Grace weaves magic in three days. Through a series of heart-to-heart group exercises, visualizations, meditations, creative writing assignments, emotional release, inner child work, art therapy, integrative body movements, and time alone in nature, you will take this extraordinary journey with a small group of women just like you.

Why a Workshop Just for Women?

A lot of women at first glance seem to cope well. They’re competent in some area of their life. They’ve learned to juggle their many roles: daughter, sister, mother, lover, friend, wife, business woman, confidante...the list is endless. What people don’t see is the fault line on the inside that puts pressure on everything else.

It may be an abusive past (or present), clogged emotion, divorce, illness, burnout, loneliness or spiritual emptiness. Today’s modern woman is constantly under pressure to “do it all” “be it all”, and “make everyone happy”. Every woman has her story, and it is this story that, left unexpressed and unhealed over time, sabotages any hope of serenity and happiness. In this weekend retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to share your unique story. You’ll learn to slow down, be still and get re-acquainted with your Spirit. Your heart will be enveloped by love, compassion and encouragement as you continue your journey towards healing and wholeness.

On Day 1 of our women's retreat, you will name your fears and identify the blocks that may be preventing you from taking the step across your bridge. On Day 2, you will work on sustaining the vision of your life that will carry you across the bridge to extraordinary possibilities.

Get your Employer to Sponsor You:

According to research, many organizations in the private and public sectors today spend millions of dollars so their employees can stay home on 'stress leave'. What if you could offer your female staff a program that would unlock their stress and give them tools to feel more productive at work and happier at home? That's why organizations such as Health Canada, Swiss Medica, Guelph General Hospital, and Bank of Canada, to name just a few, have sponsored their female staff to attend the Take the Step Intensive Weekend with Grace Cirocco. Women who have attended this program report feeling in control of their stress, less anxious, more content, and inspired to make healthy choices regarding their health.  Women learn mental resilience strategies, emotional intelligence, self confidence, and self awareness so they can bring their creativity, their enthusiasm and their passion to their jobs and to the workplace. Approach your manager and ask them if they would be willing to support you as you do this very important work. Make sure to tell them that you will be doing this training on your own time, as this Intensive is a weekend program.

Women's Weekend Retreat TESTIMONIALS

"Grace, I must tell you....  weeks after the retreat I have had so many aha moments, where I feel engaged in life like when I was a kid, so aware of my surroundings and excited and filled with adventure and possibilities.  I have been speaking up in situations that  used to put me into a state of confusion and I've been conversing with my Dad in ways like never before, with clarity and conviction. I know that you have been instrumental in helping me to remove the deep emotional injustice that was in my cells and this has allowed me to regain my passion for life. I feel joy and happiness like I am ALIVE and like I'm getting a second chance to be the authentic ME more and more every day.  Words are not enough to express how much I love you and how much you truly mean to me.  At the end of my life as I go through the tunnel I will remember how I felt with you at the Kingview Farm in Aurora, fearless and undamaged, like I belong to this divine mystery called life!"  Pennie Forma, Oakville, ON

"My dearest Grace..out of all the seminars, books, etc that I have read and/or attended, not one of them moved me to the level of spiritual connection as you have. You are love and your TTS weekend awakened my Spirit. I can't thank you enough. I thank God for your soul and your inspiration. May God and all the angels continue to watch over you and your family and give you the wisdom you need to continue doing this work for women." Juanita Shay, Porter's Lake, NS

Grace is a living angel, dedicated to helping women with emotional trauma. She has the ability to nuture and guide many women. Her book was an exceptional tool in my life. Her retreats are the life line for any woman struggling with self esteem issues. Her compassion for humanity does in fact raise the vibration of the planet...she has saved my life!! She is my great inspiration, motivator and humanitarian.   Filomena Costa, Mississauga, ON

 "It has been a little over a week since the TTS Intensive Retreat and it is amazing how much better I feel about myself, how much more secure I feel about my decisions...I know without any doubt that God knew what he was doing when he put you on this earth. Not only did you open my mind, you healed my heart, you liberated my soul and you set my spirit free. There is some more healing to do but with the tools that I took home with me and the knowledge that you are there and so are the Goddesses, I am convinced that I can do it. You are undeniably an Angel of God. I love you Grace." Tashi Deley, Monique Danis, Cantley, QC

"How can I describe your retreat in words? What are some of the grandest words that exist?I have never felt so connected to my Self! I feel incredible, unstoppable, invincible. I feel like, finally, I am home…how do I thank you for that? Grace, you are a beacon, shining forth your great guiding Light, illuminating the way for all those who are lost in the dark. Before you, we trudged along, weary, wondering what kept dragging at us, what was so heavy there behind us, trailing in the dust…After you, we realized they were our wings, and we finally remembered what it was like to spread them, and to fly free. Thank you for all you have given me, and for all that you are..."   ~Leila Hossein-Khani
