We’re seeking college-aged women for our Women’s Leadership Expedition—a transformative week-long sailing journey in the Virgin Islands this summer.

This isn’t just a sailing trip—it’s a leadership immersion. A chance to step into your power, sharpen your decision-making skills, and define your leadership style while navigating the sea.

Led by Mistral () and Erin (), this journey blends powerful leadership practices with ocean-based adventure. We integrate: 🔆 Human Design for authentic leadership 🔆 Breathwork & heart coherence for clarity under pressure 🔆 Energy work & meditation for self-mastery 🔆 Sailing, snorkeling & hiking for real-world resilience

This is for women who are ready to activate their leadership potential, grow alongside a network of powerful peers, and step forward with confidence into their future.
