Creating Your Life
With Nancy
MASTER CLASSES IN LIVING FULLY | RETREATS FOR WOMEN
Creating Your Life Retreats
LAUNCHING FALL 2026I cannot wait to invite you to my new series of three-day retreats—immersive Masterclass experiences for women who are ready to live with greater depth, clarity, and intention.
Each retreat is designed for women who want to go further-- to uncover the stops that keep you small, to gently meet your fears with compassion and reconnect with your innate strength, wisdom, and vitality. Over three carefully curated days, you will restore trust in yourself, renew your energy and realign your life with a clear and meaningful sense of purpose.
Each retreat includes four immersive, thoughtfully guided sessions, balanced with generous time for rest, reflection, and integration. This experience unfolds at the exquisite Spa Eastman in Quebec’s Eastern Townships—an internationally recognized sanctuary where nature, wellness, and elegance come together to support deep renewal.
My new website, created exclusively for these retreats, is almost ready—and if would like more details, the site will be live in February.
M0re on Working with Nancy
In years of facilitating Nancy’s Roundtables, one thing has remained constant-- women deeply cherish the rich, honest conversations that emerge every time. The work consistently sparks meaningful dialogue—conversations that are dynamic, truthful, and deeply connecting. When you realize you are not alone in how you feel or think, something shifts. It gives you permission to live more boldly. Women become powerful sources of support for one another, each honoring her own journey while strengthening each other.
In each of these hundreds and hundreds of Roundtable sessions I’ve held over the past fifteen years—and now in my new Creating Your Life retreats— there is a unique opportunity to reflect on your life in a community of thoughtful, heart-centred women.
Here, you are profoundly seen and heard in ways that may surprise you. As others share their vulnerability and wisdom, you are supported and encouraged—and in turn, your own experiences and insight brings new perspectives to the group. As one woman said to me last week, “All the women who are my dearest friends and most vital to my life, have come because I met them through your work.”
Women’s Reflections on the Roundtables
Women from around the world have participated in my Roundtables—both in person and online. During the pandemic, I hosted weekly gatherings: an earlier session for Europe and the wider global community (with women joining from Australia and Singapore), as well as an evening session for North American women.
What follows are reflections from some of the women who have taken part:
“I find it very insightful to go deep into each topic, with questions that make us think differently, challenge the status quo and enable us to share our collective wisdom—exploring issues women are facing on the road to success"
“For me, the roundtable represented an opportunity to let go of some baggage that is no longer serving me. In the end, it highlighted many aspects of my relationship with my voice, the fact that I’m holding on to a lot that I no longer benefit from, and that, more than anything— it’s time to use my voice authentically, genuinely, and joyfully."
“I could have gone on all night! You blasted through every concept of a woman I had every known in one ‘Nancy swoop’!!”
"These sessions help me to stop, think and re-evaluate what is most important to me. It helps me understand what I truly stand for, what means a lot to me and what I can do to be my best."
"Thank you so very much, for another beautiful evening. You leave us with feelings of inner peace, wisdom and awareness that lingers in my thoughts and warms my heart."
More on Nancy’s Roundtables & Retreats
I empower women to speak up, stand strong, and reconnect with their innate greatness. Think8 Women was created to support women in discovering their purpose and using their gifts to create meaningful change—in their own lives and in the world.
We take courses. Lots of them. We hire coaches, listen to podcasts, read books. Yet rarely are women’s unique skill sets, or the daily, often invisible hurdles we navigate fully acknowledged in a way that allows us to examine the big picture-- with us at the center.
How women live, create, lead and move through the world is fundamentally different, yet we are still measured against a narrow ‘norm’ and too often found wanting. It’s easy to slip into insecurity or fear, fueling patterns of over-commitment and over-delivery—until burnout quietly takes hold.
I designed this Creating Your Life series to address real issues we women face and to explore how these challenges are interconnected across every area of life. Each topic is thoughtfully examined through the lens of current culture, shared thinking patterns, and in historical context. But as the layers are gently peeled back, deeper questions emerge, inviting each woman to answer to herself, and for herself.
“Nancy Trites Botkin is an amazing facilitator, truly inspirational and brilliant, with the ability to touch people’s lives and change the way they think.” A.M.
As women share their lived experience, insight, and wisdom, something powerful happens. They not only gain clarity for themselves, they also expand the perspective of every woman in the room. This is where collective wisdom forms—and where lasting transformation begins.
Real power is knowing who you are at your core—why you are here, what you are meant to do, and how you are meant to contribute.
Real power is congruence—a rock-solid alignment between who you are and how you live. It allows you to hold your place in the world with confidence. To define and communicate your needs. To draw boundaries—and keep them. To recognize your strengths as tangible tools for navigating challenge, uncertainty and fear.
Real power is living fully— unafraid, grounded and unapologetically yourself.
“There are speakers who tell a story and then there are speakers that reach the soul. You bring great life-giving power to so many who’ve never had it before and give voice to those, whose own voice has been buried for so long. You speak with such honest language and model such vulnerable exposure that it encourages a person to look deep in their soul to ask how they see themselves. Your gift, packaged in such expressive language, in a warm and approachable style, will always draw out those who have a deeper knowing of themselves, as they recognize that you are a safe space for them to explore their purpose and passion and communicate from their heart.” G.E.
