This is for you if

You’re a senior leader in business, a nonprofit or your own venture. Impact is already your work, or you’re planning the shift. You’ve done well by most measures, and now you’re asking what the next chapter is for. You want time to think it through away from the daily pace, with people asking the same question, and to come home clear on what’s next.

What you get

  • A retreat inspired by nature’s elements: earth, water, fire and air
  • Group and 1:1 sessions with Karimah
  • Guided time in nature: a barefoot walk by the sea, a perfume-making session in Grasse
  • A private room and time to yourself
  • Simple, nourishing meals
  • Your ChangeNOW VIP experience in Paris, 26–28 April

Your guide

Karimah Hudda has spent her career moving people to move systems: transforming organizations, building coalitions, and tackling deforestation and modern slavery at scale, across nearly 50 countries. Resonance takes the coaching she does with senior leaders one level deeper.

“The illumine.earth retreat in Todos Santos was the exact reset I needed, both personally and professionally. The balance of personal wellness and ritual let me do the deeper thinking from a place of reflection rather than stress. Some of the rituals from that retreat are still daily habits for me a year out. Karimah’s ability to facilitate deep thinking and reflection is unparalleled.”
