Come return to the root of the root of your Self.
~Rumi

Experience the power of your Wholeness

Many of us are moving through pivotal life passages right now, as we experience a powerful calling to live and work in greater alignment with all of who we are.

Even so, we can still find ourselves wrestling with the hypnotic pull of our old safety mechanisms - to be the responsible one, the heroine who saves the day, the smartest guy in the room, the most successful one, the helpful one that everyone likes.


So we dance in the tension between the safety of old familiar habits of identity, and this Call to step beyond their limited boundaries; back into what feels more true, more alive, more... Whole.

Come join an intimate group of your peers

What Past Participants Say    

This retreat is a true invitation to transformation! Very restorative for seasoned practitioners, Peggy's loving, masterfully skilled facilitation invited us all to explore our inner landscapes without fear. I found myself doing some deep inner-work and, at the same time, learning new ways to make the depth and breadth of the Leadership Circle more available to clients. A brilliant workshop / retreat!    Dave Schrader, Partner, Leadership Circle N.A.


I attended the Return to Wholeness Retreat in 2017. Half expecting to learn the latest and greatest Harvard Business Review techniques on managing myself and reducing employee burnout, what I learned instead was to return to breath, to welcome the wisdom of silence, and to remember who I am. For any leader feeling a sense of emptiness or asking “is this really what I thought I’d be doing when I grew up?” I highly recommend attending a Return to Wholeness Retreat (or more!) with Peggy McAllister.       Ross Brooks, CEO Mountain Family Health Centers

A sacred and magical shift happened for me during the retreat. I left with an undeniable commitment to something bigger than myself - a pivot point. I've had to buckle up my seatbelt because doors have been opening even before my knock. And I now have tools and practices that help me nurture and hold the parts of myself that aren't fully ready for the ride!    Sandy Reeser, Principal, Reeser Consulting and Coaching


"As an executive (not an executive coach), I honestly didn't know what to expect from attending The Return to Wholeness Retreat. As it turns out, for me, it was the pause that refreshes. This restorative, unplugged time for discernment and fellowship has proved to be a precious gift to myself and others with whom I engage every day back in the real world. It is really hard to describe the impact this retreat has had on me, personally and professionally. But if I had to sum it up in just one word: Enriching (on so many levels). So treat yourself to this amazing experience; you're worth it!"    Angelo Vitale, EVP and General Counsel, Quicken Loans

During the retreat, we experienced a progressive journey through the land of our own psyche, which gently revealed what has been limiting my gifts, and also what is supporting their expression in the world. Very powerful. It was really hard for me to carve 3 days out of my work schedule to attend the retreat, but it was worth it. I left with new practices and tools I can use every day to access more of my Creative Mind (and heart), an enhanced experience of my own inner strength and my gifts, an appreciation for the role of partnership with peers in my own development, and a renewed sense of curiosity that I intend to bring to all of my interactions. All of this I learned through an actual experience of these things, not just theories and words, which makes the takeaways for me more real and sustainable. Carolina Martinez Echeverria - HR Head, Roche Pharma AG


As practitioners, we can't ask others to do the work that we haven't done ourselves. The RTW retreat offers the opportunity to do important inner work that can profoundly impact your life and that of your clients. How do I know? It was so powerful for me, I returned a second time and had an even deeper experience of my essential self. Following the retreat, I applied the tools Peggy teaches with a client who had been stuck for a long time, and in one session, it literally rocked her world!    Jeff Stone, Owner, Potentia Consulting
