LIVE ALIVE LEADERSHIP

We are thrilled to invite you to join us on a seven day, six night adventure to one of our community’s favorite places on the planet, Sansara Resort in Cambutal, Panama. 

Founded by Amara DePaul, Nancy Perry, and Laura Rust, we have merged our passions of yoga, travel, adventure, transformation, and community to provide an opportunity for people to comfortably get uncomfortable and experience the beauty of being alive. We believe that experiences are the most valuable currency, and transformation is at the heart of what we do. We curate adventures that allow you to let go and explore what it means to truly live. We cultivate community because experiences are more transformational when they are shared. We are a movement, a message, and a worldwide community. Instead of escaping your life, discover what it means to live alive.

This is not just a getaway—it’s a chance to step away from the distractions of daily life, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and clarify your vision for the future, and get a new set of tools to help you get to your next level. At the end of the week, you’ll leave with a profound sense of clarity about who you are meant to be as a leader and what you’re here to create in the world.

Each day of this retreat is thoughtfully designed to balance learning, adventure, and connection. Mornings begin with movement and contemplation to ground and energize you, followed by immersive Leadership Development workshops that dive deep into the skills and principles of impactful leadership. Afternoons offer the chance to surf Panama’s pristine waves or connect with like-minded peers in a supportive, inspiring community. Evenings are filled with chef-prepared meals and reflective conversations under the stars, creating space for clarity and growth. Nancy, Laura, and Amara bring over a decade of experience building businesses and teams that deliver transformational experiences—not only for customers but for employees and communities as well.
