Betting on Yourself

Saturday 2 May 2026, Toronto

A one-day retreat exploring what it means to bet on yourself and how it can take shape in your life.

You might already feel it, that quiet pull to do something more, or differently. And at the same time, the hesitation. The questions, the doubt, the instinct to stay where things feel safe or familiar.

This retreat is for that space in between.

“Betting on Yourself” isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about giving yourself the time and space to step back, see yourself more clearly, and explore what might be possible.

Over the course of the day, you’ll be guided through experiences that gently challenge familiar ways of thinking, surface what may be holding you back, and help you begin to define what betting on yourself could actually look like in your life.

You’ll leave not with pressure or prescriptions, but with perspective, a renewed sense of agency, and a few simple, practical ways to move forward.

If part of you feels curious, come deepen that curiosity with us.

Your Hosts,

Kim and Nabil
