A Unique Invite-Only Retreat to the Sacred Land of the Thunder Dragon.

EXPERIENCE
ZHIWALING

Indulging in the Zhiwaling experience goes beyond a simple stay; it unfolds as an enchanting cultural and spiritual journey, weaving you into the very fabric of Bhutan's rich heritage.

Move this above the Zhiwaling description. Maybe a separate box for this intro section followed by the hotel info. “You’re invited to join a small group of close friends and family for the 10-year anniversary of Lead with Love and Gina’s 50th birthday! We launched Lead with Love ten years ago with an inspiring and heart-centered celebration at Doerr- Hosier Center at The Aspen Institute in October 2016. That joyful and inspiring 4-day experience set the stage for the multitude of events and retreats that followed over the last 10 years as we shifted from Aspen City of Wellbeing to Lead with Love. Our mission to Cultivate and Nourish Heart-Centered Leaders is strong as ever as we continue to support and build our Care for Caregivers Program in partnership with CASA of the Ninth. Click HERE to see a timeline of Lead with Love and enjoy some of the special memories and impact we’ve made over the years with all of our amazing supporters and participants. We are a community of Heart-Centered Leaders sharing wisdom, insight, inspiration, nurturance and love with others to create a ripple effect of positive change in the world. You can SUPPORT OUR WORK and help us fund the next ten years of impact HERE!

Next Section - Journey to Bhutan

Having visited Bhutan for the first time in 2010 and again in 2024, Gina felt the call to spend the transition into her “Wisdom Years” in this magical Kingdom meditating for world peace as a community and connecting deeply to the Wise Woman within for guidance. You will be gifted a very intimate and unique experience in a place that has deeply touched Gina’s heart. We will all set our intent to continue to be agents for change sharing love in a world that desperately needs it! While this is a private trip, we will create a retreat-like experience practicing yoga, meditation and inquiry together as well as immersing ourselves in Bhutanese culture. See below for an itinerary that will be updated as the trip gets closer.
