Ignite Your Soul Weekend
Girl, Dream Big & Business Brand Workshop is a two-day in-person immersive training that will grow your brand and network.
New York , NY
November 8-10, 2024
Hey girl!
We have something LIFE CHANGING to share with you – and we’ve got a feeling (bold statement alert) that it’s the missing piece you’ve needed to make the biggest breakthrough of your personal and professional life!
We are intimately familiar with how you’re feeling right now. You have an intuition inside telling you that there’s a badass leader and goal-getter buried beneath the surface. Perhaps you have an incredible business idea… maybe you know your strengths are the key to helping others, or your gut instinct is telling you it’s time to EXPAND your brand and your business! But lately * sigh* you’re left frustrated – knowing you’re not reaching your fullest potential, disappointed by leaving money on the table, and feeling a bit lost without the right network of girlfriends to turn to.  It’s time to stop playing small and take your next BIG leap! – Change isn’t easy. It’s scary starting something new, scaling your ideas, charging what you’re worth, pivoting then pivoting again, and asking for help.
The courage to “do the thing” starts once you’ve committed to sharing it in the right rooms with the right networks, relentlessly ideating on it, and making very bold moves that take you from interested to committed.
The aim of this retreat is to help get you out of your head and back into your body alongside a supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs.
Come Fill Your Soul . . .
New York City is where dreams come true. New Yorker's know the tenacity and consistency that BIG DREAMS require, so there's no better place to expand your vision for your life than in this magical city! The host hotel, Park Lane Hotel, is situated perfectly at the entrance of Central Park with amazing views!
Â
The Dream Big weekend getaway purpose will give you the tools needed to expand your brand, vision and network. So you can make choices that better reflect your priorities and move closer to your dreams.
This is an intimate, impactful, and insightful workshop architected to help you discover your next steps in monetization, gain confidence & clarity, leverage insider secrets to audience growth, and discover opportunities for your brand to improve… all while introducing you to the essential network of women you will need and learn from along the way.
We recognized an unmet need for a workshop that should be positioned between a large format event (where you can hide and blend in) and a long-term, higher priced mastermind. This led us to create a streamlined format that is hugely impactful all while being affordable, intimate and conscious of your time.
You’ll be learning from experienced entrepreneurs, visionaries and leaders in their lanes of genius to teach what’s working (and not working) for them, so you can build the brand of your dreams.
Women Attendees Should:
- Want to start or expand their brand and their network
- Be serious about learning from experts and applying/implementing it
- Be ready to take massive action despite their fears
- Leave with a plan for 2024 and beyond that will scare you to wake up and LIVE LIFE!

She was an engineering major at UCLA and a Theatre and Photography major at New York University. Since then, she's worn many hats to make a life possible from leaving her LA home of 20+ years and creating an empty nester life in the big apple - New York City. To now, running her IN YOUR FACE SKINCARE line out of Florida.
Her and her husband have one daughter, Paris Helena Duff, who had a successful career as a model with one of the world’s top model agencies: NEXT LA. She did a one year apprenticeship in NYC with world-famous photographer Mark Seliger and is now a consummate pro photographer focusing on fashion and beauty in LA.
But at the bottom of everything she does, she's addicted to helping people. Denice always believed it was a “selfish” quality of mine that since grade school nothing made her happier than when someone said “Thank you for your help”. Denice says, "The “noises in my head” were always dead silent when I was helping someone else. I’ve carried on this policy all through my life even when on an acting set. I was always interested that the crew was in good spirits and that they felt validated and appreciated. It’s my SuperHero Power and I LOVE to unleash it on people wherever I go. My high school softball coach said you always want to leave a person happier then when you first met them."
