TENWOMENSTRONG - Portugal July 2023
Welcome to an AMAZING opportunity!
In April 2022, after shuttering our beloved and highly successful in-person leadership programs, Lyssa purchased a property in Portugal, and Carolyn began an around-the-world adventure.
Serendipitously in November 2022, we came joyously together in the same country to explore how we may serve our global community of women.
We talked. We walked.
We listened to each other, And to the sounds around us.
We became more alive. We made a commitment:
To start anew from a place of strength and possibilities.
A place to be YOU in community!
The TENWOMENSTRONG Leadership & Travel Adventure in July will be a one-of-a-kind transformational event.
Lyssa and Carolyn are dedicated to bringing you a truly unique and personalized experience at Quinta Kaleidoscope.
Here you will connect with YOU and your place in this special community. Our program is designed following the A.C.E. Process:
- Start Authentically
- Explore Creatively
- Live Expressively
In addition to our core curriculum, your experience will include a range of activities.
We meet you where you are and provide you with the tools and encouragement to take you where you want to go. All the while you are enjoying the best of Portugal!
A space for expansion, integration and ingenuity!
You are a woman looking for more -- a deepening, a joining. A more intentional way of being -- of leading your life on purpose.
This unique program combines the structure of our signature life leadership program.
Start Authentically. Explore Creatively. Live Expressively.
It will be exciting, yet not exhausting. Deep AND up lifting.
It will privilege the feminine principal and be regenerative and holistic.

Opening Session - Start Authentically
Buffet breakfast of assorted delicacies -- including coffee, teas and juices.
Morning Session #1 -- Start Authentically
We begin with authenticity. What is really there. Who we are. What is going on in the situation. We probe, pull back and examine to understand what is – in life and in work. We intentionally dive into an awareness and understanding that goes beyond the superficial review or analysis.
Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. ~ Brene Brown
For the afternoon, we will have lunch out and travel to Montemor-o-Novo Castle.
Back to Quinta Kaleidoscope to enjoy leisure time before dinner in the evening.

Saturday
Program Session - Explore Creatively
Buffet breakfast of assorted delicacies -- including coffee, teas and juices.
Morning Session #2 -- Explore Creatively
Creative endeavor is nourishment and only from a place of authenticity are we able to truly create. By using a series of exercises and experiences to re-spark and re-ignite. We each need to feel creative and alive in order to be engaged in our life and our work.
A creative life is an amplified life. It's a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner--continually and stubbornly bringing forth the jewels that are hidden within you--is a fine art, in and of itself. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
For the afternoon, we will have lunch out and travel to Gandum Village - a village with a purpose.
Back to Quinta Kaleidoscope to enjoy leisure time before dinner in the evening.

Sunday
Program Session - Live Expressively
Buffet breakfast of assorted delicacies -- including coffee, teas and juices.
Morning Session #3 -- Live Expressively
Live expressively means to put it out there. Make it happen. It is the focusing and prioritization and equipping of the plan to make it happen. And then it’s the doing it, saying it, being it. Show the players, the market, the world.
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. ~ Martha Graham
For the afternoon, we will have lunch out and travel to Evora - a historic world heritage site.
Back to Quinta Kaleidoscope to enjoy leisure time before dinner in the evening.

Praise for TENWOMENSTRONG!
“I am more aligned with my purpose. Kick started desires and dreams. The power of having support and encouragement when you are self-employed. Being around people that talk the same language -- you get things DONE. And the perspectives of other women from around the world”

Katerina
TENWOMENSTRONG Corporate Leadership Program
“There is nothing like a sisterhood of women journeying together. If you don't have a community of women that you can brainstorm with, be REAL with, and take action, TenWomenStrong is essential.
Make time.
Find the money.
Commit!”
