Join us for a weekend to delve into your instinctual magic, to attune to the earth, opening all our senses in service to a new and ancient way of leadership. Come and be nourished by delicious organic food, sisterhood, your own magic, and nature. Commune with leaders who feel a deep calling to lead and live differently.
The Beauty Way is…
Welcome to The Beauty Way, a sacred retreat where the essence of your being meets the boundless magic of the universe. Join us for a 4-day immersion into the profound realms of instinctual magic, a harmonious dance with the earth, and an awakening to a new and ancient way of leadership.
Embark on a journey within, unlocking the mysteries of your own magic. Release the ties that bind you from realizing your own power and come back into the remembering and re-awakening of your true gifts.
Delve into Your Instinctual Magic
Be enveloped by the warmth of sisterhood, the delicious embrace of organic food, and the gentle whispers of nature. Let the retreat be a feast for your senses, a sanctuary where your soul finds solace.
Nourishment for Body and Soul
Connect with leaders (and spoiler alert: we all are leaders 😉) who share a profound calling to lead and live differently. Together, we'll create a space for collective wisdom, where each voice contributes to a healthy ecosystem of change.
Commune with Visionary Leaders
Explore the liminal spaces that bridge the seen and unseen, learning to work with dreams as access to another way of knowing. Build trust in your intuition and delve into realms beyond the ordinary. Let the dream world be a portal to self-discovery and transformation, tapping into the collective wisdom of community in a new way.
Liminal Practices
Immerse yourself in energy practices that bring you back to the wisdom of your body. Learn somatic exercises to self-regulate your nervous system, build capacity, and feel more resourced.
Energy Tools & Practices
Attune your rhythms with the rhythms of Mother Earth. Through rituals and practices, forge a deep connection with the natural world, grounding yourself in the ancient wisdom that surrounds us. Reclaim your sacred responsibility to the earth for your leadership and impact.
Co-Regulation with Mother Earth
Engage in sacred ceremonies and rituals that transcend time. Let the power of intention and reverence guide you in creating meaningful moments that linger in your soul.
Ceremony & Ritual
Rediscover the awe-inspiring beauty that exists in every moment. Find the magic in the mundane and embrace the extraordinary as we journey to reclaim the divinity woven into the fabric of life.
Reclaiming Awe
Immerse yourself in a profound sense of belonging. Feel connection and communion with your people, the earth, and the divine, as we co-create a space where every soul is seen, heard, and celebrated.

Chelsea is a living embodiment of the radical power of following your soul’s longing. Having been initiated into the Shamanic way of life at 13, she yearned for the remembering and living of ancient ways. This early initiation opened her eyes to the unseen, to a radical way of learning, and to living a life that is in deep relationship to the natural world. Her calling has led her near and far seeking radical immersion in service. She has assisted with births in a Tanzanian hospital, worked with Women in Action on economic empowerment, supported the Masai with women’s advocacy work, facilitated women’s healing circles in Greece, promoted women’s rights in India, worked in North Indian orphanages and at Mother Theresa’s Home for the Destitute, and double majored in Women’s Studies and Ethnic Studies at Mills College. She was the Leadership Development Director for the non-profit Shakti Rising and the founder of their leadership program Wolves and Waterways, she is a Feral Visionary and Executive Leadership Coach. She loves to get lost in the woods, and find her way back Home.

In addition to her private practice, she specializes in mindfulness, intuitive teaching, executive assessment, and creating inclusive and psychologically safe cultures through feedback, emotional awareness, and relationships. She has had the privilege of coaching and training professionals within Fortune 10 companies across technology, retail, medical, and finance industries to help them use organizational psychology to develop strategy and strengthen their workforce. She has spent years training leaders to use coaching in their leadership, and training up-and-coming coaches attaining certification and empowering their unique gifts.
Testimonials
"It became immediately apparent - I was deeply understood. Parts of me that I didn’t even know how to speak to yet. Working with Chelsea is the experience of traversing your inner landscape with a wise, loving, keen-sensed guide. I always picture her with a lantern, there beside you shining a light on your unique essence as well as the hidden aspects of self. There is some personal work we cannot do alone because of our refusal to look at it. Chelsea has strong instincts and looks it right in the eye. Get ready to be asked the questions you’ve been needing to breakthrough. With Chelsea, you have a deeply compassionate, intuitive and strong guide."
-Danielle Mingo
“I found Lauren at the exact right time in my life. I needed help digging out from years of overwork and perfectionism. Our work together changed my life, helped me heal, unlocked my potential and accelerated my future. I will forever be grateful for our work together. Mindset is too small a word for what our work accomplished. Our work rewired my mind. What once seemed too big and overwhelming is now all possible and exciting. Our work has given me my life back. I’m connecting more with what matters-- my family, my friendships and myself, while also excelling in my career. A million thank you’s, Lauren. You are a gift to this world.”
-Rachel B.
“Coaching with Lauren put me on a deeper path toward self-actualization and wholehearted leadership. It challenged me to let go of limiting beliefs and habits. It showed me that navigating life (and work) from a place of courage, compassion, and authenticity is one of the greatest contributions a person can make to the world. Engaging in this coaching process was transformative. The work has enriched my life so much. I trust myself more than ever now, and it's empowered me to realize my highest potential. It put me on a path to healing and equipped me with tools and practices to be an empathic, brave, wholehearted leader. ”
-Jessica C.
“Working alongside Chelsea has helped me powerfully shift my entire relationship with myself- body, mind, and soul. During our time together, I discovered new ways to relate to perfectionism, self-doubt, my body's power, money blocks, my energy, and the idea that there's no right way to go about my life- only what feels right to me. Chelsea has a way of allowing shadows to breathe and flow while gracefully guiding the soul to take the lead. As somebody who conditionally leads with my mind most of the time, it felt like a breath of fresh air to give my mind some rest and develop trust that I have all the answers within my soul. Chelsea's deep connection to the universe will open you up and hold you lovingly in your process while you shed conditioned patterns that no longer serve you.”
- Krysta Kinslow, Coach
