INTRODUCING
Gran CanariaÂ
Empowered Life Retreat
What You’ll Experience
Bigger thinking and fresh perspectives
You’ll have time and space to reflect on where you are — personally and professionally. Through thoughtful conversations and guided reflection, you’ll gain fresh perspective, renewed confidence and a stronger sense of momentum
Work, direction & decision-making
This is an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day and look clearly at your work, career, or business. Whether you’re refining what you’re already doing, considering a pivot, or feeling the pull towards something new, you’ll leave with stronger priorities, fresh insight and practical next steps.
Money, values & confidence
We’ll look at your relationship with money in a grounded, honest way — connecting your financial decisions to your values and real-life circumstances. The focus is on understanding patterns, strengthening confidence and alignment, and making choices that feel steady and sustainable.
Rest, movement & enjoyment
Alongside the sessions, there’s space to slow down and enjoy being there. Expect some gentle yoga, nourishing food, unhurried meals, and carefully chosen local experiences that support rest and wellbeing.
Small-group conversations
You’ll be part of a small, grounded, growth-minded people who bring experience, insight and fresh thinking. These conversations are honest, respectful, and practical — a place to think things through out loud, listen, and be listened to.
This is a space where you can contribute fully and leave with greater confidence and fresh perspective around your next personal and professional decisions.
Â
Why Now?
This retreat creates the space to step back, think clearly and reconnect with the bigger vision for your life, work and future.
So much of everyday life keeps us focused on immediate demands, practical decisions and constant movement. Giving yourself intentional time away to reflect, think differently and immerse yourself in a growth-focused environment can shift far more than most people realise.
A Small, Powerful Group
I’m keeping this retreat intentionally small. The kind of conversations we’ll be having need space, trust, and time — they don’t work in crowded rooms.
You’ll be alongside other thoughtful, experienced people who are already doing the work in their lives. There’s no need to have it all figured out.
You can arrive exactly as you are, and leave with more clarity, direction and perspective.
What's Included In The Retreat...
Accommodation at
Finca Nido del Cuervo
Â
The Empowered Life Retreat takes place at Finca Nido del Cuervo, a peaceful hillside finca in the mountains of Mogán, Gran Canaria — a setting chosen for its sense of calm, beauty and space to truly step away from everyday life.
The finca itself becomes part of the experience. Mornings by the infinity pool overlooking the mountains. Long conversations over shared meals. Quiet moments with a coffee on the terrace. Time to slow down, reflect deeply and simply enjoy where you are.
Accommodation is spread across four fully furnished villas on the finca, creating an intimate and relaxed environment throughout the week. Participants will stay in comfortable private or twin-share bedrooms, with shared living spaces, terraces and outdoor areas designed for connection, conversation and quiet reflection alike.
A limited number of twin rooms are available for friends attending together or those happy to share accommodation.
The finca offers a beautiful balance of privacy and togetherness, with plenty of space to gather as a group while also allowing time for rest, journalling, reading or simply taking in the surroundings between sessions and excursions.
You’ll have access to stunning outdoor spaces, peaceful seating areas and the infinity pool throughout your stay, alongside the warmth and atmosphere that naturally develops when a small group of like-minded people spend meaningful time together in a beautiful setting.
Once your place is reserved, full accommodation details will be shared personally to ensure your stay feels comfortable, relaxed and well suited to your experience at the retreat.
Why This Retreat is Different
The Empowered Life Retreat has been designed very intentionally. With just 12 participants, the experience is personal, thoughtful and immersive in a way that larger retreats rarely are.
The combination of personal growth, professional development, meaningful conversation and genuine enjoyment creates an experience that feels both expansive and grounding at the same time.
Throughout the week, there is space for powerful workshops, masterminding and deeper reflection, alongside relaxed meals together, time by the pool, excursions, laughter, conversation and moments to simply enjoy being present in a beautiful environment.
The smaller group size allows conversations to go deeper and connections to form naturally. You won’t be sitting anonymously in a crowded room or rushing from one activity to the next. There is space to think clearly, contribute fully and engage in conversations that often lead to fresh insight, renewed confidence and important decisions.
The retreat attracts thoughtful, growth-minded people who are already doing meaningful things in their lives and work, but who value the opportunity to step away from everyday routines and spend time in an environment focused on possibility, expansion and bigger thinking.
The setting itself also becomes part of the experience. Surrounded by the mountains of Gran Canaria, with space to slow down and breathe more deeply, people often find that new ideas emerge more naturally, new ambitions and bigger visions begin to develop and important decisions become clearer.
This is a retreat designed not only to inspire you while you are there, but to create lasting momentum, perspective and meaningful movement forward long after you return home.

FEATURED IN:
I’m Sarah McCalden. My work sits at the intersection of money, mindset, wellbeing, and personal growth. I support thoughtful, capable people to think more expansively about their lives, their work, and the decisions that shape their financial future.
My own path to this work wasn’t straightforward. Earlier in life I experienced addiction and the deep sense of unworthiness that can come with it. Rebuilding my life required changing how I saw myself, how I made decisions, and what I believed was possible. That process eventually led me into the world of personal development, where I studied and trained in success and mindset work that continues to influence how I guide others today.
Over the years I’ve worked with individuals and small groups who are often already doing well on the outside but know something deeper needs attention. The most valuable work rarely happens through more information or strategy. It happens when people are given the space to slow down, reflect honestly, and reconnect with what they truly want.
That’s the kind of space I hold on this retreat.
I’ll guide the sessions and create a structure that supports thoughtful conversations and fresh insight and renewed perspective, while leaving plenty of room for reflection, quiet thinking, and decisions to settle naturally.
The people who come to my work are often experienced, intelligent, and carrying a lot of responsibility. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you hear yourself more clearly and move forward with greater confidence, self-trust and momentum. If that kind of space feels valuable to you, you’ll feel at home here.
