Are you CRAVING time and space to experience deep well-being and meaningful connection?
Most of us are, especially in the midst of the noise and volume of daily life
But, if we’re honest… we’ve forgotten how to do that. It all feels like just one more thing on an endless task list sometimes…
That’s why the Minding Your Minutes Flourish.Deeply Retreat was created to
Take exquisite care of your body, mind & spirit in beautiful surroundings
Define YOUR roadmap for high impact flourishing & deeper joy
Reconnect with playful exploration and a sense of well-being & fun
Experience intentional connection and community
No apology, guilt or overwhelm required.
Creating space for deeper flourishing, meaning & joy
Do you spend your days powering through your to do list, checking all the boxes except the ones meant for you?
What if you took a weekend to remember what joy & exquisite care felt like?
What if you had a PLAN to put your wellbeing front and center- without dropping out of work or life?
What if you had a FLOURISHING framework build just for you?
How would it feel to find intimacy & connection in the midst it all instead of only exhaustion and resignation?
What if you could do this without apology or guilt?
It’s time for a new approach.
Take a restorative weekend for YOU
Join the Minding Your Minutes Flourish.Deeply Retreat to restore your sense of Balance and Meaning
Align body, mind, spirit and surroundings in
Let’s Face it… We’re NOT very skillful about caring for ourselves
We put EVERYONE and EVERYTHING else first and then are secretly resentful and frustrated…
We think that our OVERWORK is a sign of dedication & productivity
We think about taking a walk WAY more than we get up from our desks
We answer “how are you?” with “BUSY” or some version of “working hard”
We spin in overwhelm and storytelling rather than creating outcomes that move the needle
We are short and irritable with the ones we love- even though we need their support now more than ever
We’ve forgotten what we’re working toward and what it all means
We can’t even remember how to have fun sometimes…
Perhaps it’s time for a reset. A weekend just for YOU.
Has your stress taken on a life of its own?
High-achievers are SO GOOD at juggling All.The.Things…. especially at work. Especially when we love what we do.
Sometimes we forget - in all of this achievement- that we meant to have a life that felt like ours.
We meant to find some time of take care of ourselves.
We meant to actually move our bodies and eat well instead of running on coffee, fragmented sleep and worry about the proverbial other shoe.
We meant to savor our lives and have a little fun!
But somehow we never got around to it.
That’s why I created this Minding Your Minutes Flourish.Deeply Retreat.
Sometimes we….
NEED to RETREAT from the busyness
CRAVE more DEPTH and LESS VOLUME
LOSE TOUCH with JOY & MEANING
LONG for deeper connection with ourselves & each other
WANT time & space to FEEL and CREATE
Just want to BE whole & human in beautiful places & spaces

Why Am I leading this Program?
I’m Brigette Serfaty, Executive Well-being & Mindset Coach
I’m passionate about helping high-achievers to STOP trading their well-being for their work and rediscover REALLY matters. I use practices and strategies drawn from mindfulness, integrative health, lifestyle medicine, yoga therapy, and a LONG corporate career.
My signature Minding Your Minutes framework & A.L.I.G.N. Method were developed to shift stress & mindset in the moment to bring attention back to what matters most.
I know first-hand the healing power of retreats and the power of an intimate group to transform lives. I’ve led several of them and participated in many more.
My first retreat experience changed my life when my marriage was falling apart. This deeply spiritual experience helped me to find the courage to change my life. Those that followed forced me to reinvent my own well-being after reckoning with a stress-fueled tendency to overwork and its impact on every. part. of. my life. A corporate downsizing was a left-handed blessing that changed everything about the way I work and live now.
That’s why I LOVE working with other high performing professionals to help them find space in their lives for what truly matters.
I know the challenges.
I know the seduction of overwork.
I know the traps we fall into.
I know the stories we tell ourselves.
And I also know what works.
I love this life created from the reinvention of my own health and well-being after loss, grief and finding my footing again.
The Minding Your Minutes Retreat is borne of the same desire for you.
Embrace this moment as if your life depends on it,
as if it’s your life’s only real work…
Just for the love of it all.
