The Fall Calm & Clarity RETREAT by Amy Ries
October 11-13, 2024, Canyon Ranch, Berkshires
Your time to unplug from all that you’ve been doing and discover what you truly want.
Awaken Your Passion, Unleash Your Next Chapter
A Clarity & Action RETREAT with Amy Ries
Picture yourself this October, enveloped by the stunning autumn beauty of the Berkshire Mountains, feeling the exhilaration of your breakthroughs. The mountains resonate with a unique energy, and as you join our Opening Group, you’ll meet women who feel like old friends.
Something special happens as you turn your focus inward, surrounded by nature and kindred spirits. There’s a profound clarity that emerges when you reconnect with your true self and your deepest desires.
My goal is to awaken your heart’s truest desires so that when you return home, you are empowered to live intentionally, giving your best self to your family, your work, and your life.
Nestled among the vibrant fall foliage, Canyon Ranch Lenox offers a historic New England estate as your sanctuary. This casually elegant setting is purpose-built for serenity and transformation, providing the perfect backdrop for your journey.
”It truly was the retreat I didn’t know I desperately needed. From the amazing venue, to meeting incredible women, to the meaningful exercises we did. Amy was great in helping us get the breakthroughs we had. I left the retreat and returned home feeling happy, hopeful, and very motivated.”
— Karen C, Oncology Director (NJ)
“Immersed in a beautiful setting, with attention to detail every step of the way, Amy’s exercises and thoughtful group sessions allowed you to really look at your life .... where you are and where you want to be.... and begin to take steps to honor yourself and your life.”
—Angela G, Senior Clinical Educator, RN (MO)

Hi, I’m Amy - Executive Coach & Founder of RETREAT
Like you, I juggle many roles: Mom, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Coach, and CEO. And like you, I lead a very busy life. For me, FREEDOM is everything – the freedom to live the life you desire, doing what you love, with the people who matter most, and feeling truly fulfilled.
My journey began as a Corporate Executive, with a 20-year career that led me to the C-Suite. Although I loved my career, I eventually hit a wall and realized I needed a significant change. I took a bold leap and redirected my passion for personal development and impactful leadership in a heart-led direction.
For over five years, I have been leading RETREATs and offering transformational career, leadership, and life coaching to women and organizations. I absolutely love what I do!
Through numerous women’s RETREATs, I’ve discovered that the most powerful element is the sense of community and connection we build. When we, as women, prioritize ourselves and collectively reveal our true selves, we uncover that our desires and dreams are more alike than we imagined.
During our RETREAT, you’ll learn to fall deeper in love with yourself, gain clarity on your purpose, and leave with a comprehensive roadmap to launch your next chapter.
“Amy did a wonderful job promoting an environment where we all felt safe sharing, being vulnerable, and supporting one another. I learned so much not just from the introspective work, but also from the other women there too.”
—— Lauren F, PhD, Medical Consult & Review Physician (PA)
“Amy is an exceptional career and life coach because she blends credibility with true compassion and empathy for her clients. I came away from our retreat feeling empowered and inspired. Highly, highly recommend Amy and RETREAT."”
—— Shelley Y, Supply Chain Strategist(PA)
Who is this RETREAT for?
Women Ready for Change: If you're seeking to transform your career or life, even if you’re unsure of the specifics, this retreat is for you.
Aspirational Leaders: For women looking to get promoted, take on more responsibility, make a significant impact, or leave a lasting legacy.
Future Planners: For women who want to be more intentional about their future and approach life holistically.
Entrepreneurs and Coaches: For women entrepreneurs and coaches who need a pause from working in their business to focus on working on their business and themselves.
Balance Seekers: For women who crave more balance, freedom, and time to pursue their passions and live life on their terms.
Self-Care Advocates: For women in need of a well-deserved break and some long overdue self-care.
Best Friends: For women besties who want to deepen their friendship, experience something transformational, and cherish sacred time together.
Self-Improvement Enthusiasts: For women who value self-improvement, freedom, and connection, and are devoted to becoming the person they need to be to live the life they truly desire.
“I believe that learning is experiential and that the strength that is essential for taking control of your life and your future comes from carving out time to be present, really looking at your life, and honoring and prioritizing you.
Nowhere can that happen more clearly, then on RETREAT.”

“My retreat experience was wonderful. It felt great to slow down and focus on topics that everyday life does not allow for. It was exactly what I needed. It’s great to slow down and focus on yourself. I felt stronger and more focused at the end.”
—— Sarah C, Business Owner & Entrepreneur (PA)

RETREAT Frequently Asked Questions
Why a RETREAT?
A RETREAT is the quickest and most effective way to jump-start your life. Your time is precious, and a RETREAT maximizes that time, offering full support, guidance, and a nurturing environment to dream, ask “what if,” and explore “what’s next.”
Efficient and Impactful: Unlike the prolonged stress of weeks or months, a RETREAT provides a concentrated experience over just a few days. This uninterrupted time allows you to deeply focus on creating the life you want.
Forward-Looking Approach: While therapy and counseling often dwell on the past, a RETREAT is forward-focused, using your past only for context and insight. The primary goal is to think, plan, and determine what you truly want next.
Escape the Overwhelm: The first step to clarity is to physically remove yourself from your hectic life. In the midst of overwhelm, with a racing mind and survival mode in full swing, it’s hard to think straight. A RETREAT allows your body and mind to escape the chaos, relax, and refocus, enabling you to ask the right questions.
Reconnect with Your True Self: In the serene space of a RETREAT, you can reconnect with your true wishes and desires. You’ll be amazed at how much can be accomplished in a few dedicated days of a powerful experience, where the focus is entirely on you and your priorities.
Transformative Results: By the end of the RETREAT, you’ll leave with a clear plan, renewed energy, and a profound sense of purpose. The transformation you’ll experience in just a few days can set the stage for a lifetime of fulfillment and success.
What is the RETREAT vibe?
It’s simply inspirational! Hosted within the luxurious environment of Canyon Ranch Berkshires, the Fall Calm & Clarity RETREAT is positive, fun, forward-looking and with a dash of magic. It’s a time of self-discovery, uncovering or reconnecting to your passions, dreams, and the life you truly want to live. The workshops are warm and uplifting, in a supportive, comfortable and intimate environment, with other like-minded women, travelling on the same path. All the women on RETREAT just ‘get it’…no explanation necessary.
What is a typical RETREAT day?
A typical RETREAT day is a balance of learning, exploring, delicious spa cuisine, and free time. We will meet as a group once or twice a day, to share our experiences through group coaching, enabling us together to go on a self-discovery journey of our lives and ourselves, where we are now and where we want to go in the future. You will feel supported, connected and comfortable sitting amongst like-minded women. You will have early morning, all afternoon and late evening as free time and space just for you. Fill yourself up any way you choose – reflect, get active, relax – it’s up to you! Canyon Ranch offers a variety of 35+ different classes and activities each day, plus an amazing spa and outdoor grounds. You will have numerous opportunities to relax your body, recharge your mind and renew your spirit!
How many people will be there?
All my RETREATs are exclusive and small to ensure a luxury and transformational experience for everyone who attends. The Fall Calm & Clarity RETREAT will be limited to approximately 8 guests (depending on room configurations). This is a very intimate retreat where everyone can feel comfortable sharing, laughing, and bringing their authentic self to the experience.
What do I wear/pack?
Anything that is comfortable to you. Resort casual or spa/fitness attire are great daytime options for attending classes as well as our group workshops. For dinner, resort casual/casual (jeans/pants and a sweater/top) are a perfect choice. You will definitely want to bring a bathing suit to take full advantage of the amazing spa complex. Finally, don’t forget your sneakers!!

Is there ongoing support offered to keep me accountable after the RETREAT?
Yes! My mission is to help you uncover your best self and exactly what you want next. All retreat guests receive a follow-up, 60-minute 1:1 Power Coaching Sessions with me after the RETREAT. This deep and personalized coaching session is included within the RETREAT investment and are designed to support and complement the main RETREAT. I will make sure you feel great about your experience, and I will help you continue to move forward, toward your ideal next step and life, once you are back home. Additional private 1:1 coaching is also available.
