Beyond Your Brain - SmartTribes Institute

What would you discover if you were to drop into yourself?

Energetically, many high-powered CEOs and entrepreneurs are driven, intense, and outcome oriented. Your strengths have pushed you to excel in your business…

but they don’t always serve your soul.

As a result, you don’t have the space you need to connect with your true self.

The Beyond Your Brain Retreat gives you the opportunity to move past the pressures of your position and the confines of your cognition.

During this powerful, three-day retreat, you will be guided through a spiritual process of reconnection and energetic transformation that is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Due to the highly personalized attention each participant receives, seats are extremely limited. A maximum of 13, hand-selected applicants are ultimately invited to join.

This all takes place at the phenomenal IONS EarthRise Retreat center, where you’ll be surrounded by untouched nature and fed locally-sourced, organic meals prepared by an incredible chef.

Beyond Your Brain is more than just another retreat that you’ll enjoy...

and then forget about.

In addition to three intensive, hands-on days at the retreat center, you’ll be invited into a 9 month, self-paced, online program that will create the framework for your experience. (When you register NOW, you can start implementing the online course as early as January 2020!)

There is an absolute maximum number of 13 retreat participants per year. Get your seat before it’s gone!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I signed up for the STI Retreat. I took the plunge since I trust Christine, and I’m really glad I did. Christine has a unique and fresh approach to cut right to the issue and resolve challenges in a teaching way using both non-denominational spirituality and neuroscience. She blended different practices and forms of ancient tribal wisdom into a modern, flexible interpretation. So now I understand how to apply techniques that have helped humans for centuries to connect more deeply to themselves and others, as well as perform better. You, your team, your organization will benefit from what you learn here.

President of mid-market Technology Deployment Firm

In today’s global ecosystem, the leaders that will shape and transform the world need to practice mindfulness and self-awareness to lead and thrive in an ever-changing environment. The STI Retreat provides ancient wisdom and tools for the leaders of the world in this transformational journey. The clear concepts, with the correct pacing led to fantastic intimacy and connection in the group. I’m a better version of me as a result.

Finance Lead at Fortune 100 company & YPO Member

I loved learning the tools of awareness to embrace the elements, beings, medicines of healing to be more connected to self and others. I LOVED the sound journey – it totally blew my mind. I learned how to really feel present, more connected and calm with a warm sense of spirit and being. The pendulum as an energy healing technique for chakras was really cool too. I can’t wait to bring these tools into my work and life. I have grown tremendously from this experience—and in ways I didn’t know were possible. Wow.

Executive, billion-dollar Family Office

I’ve been working on expanding my awareness, personal power, and inner stillness for many years. This retreat brought me tools and insights I’ve never seen before. I learned remarkable things about energy, how it works, how to direct it, how to harness it for better communication and human/business relationships. I now feel more connected to nature and my energy field and I'm more confident about how to manage my energy. This weekend was a transformational leadership experience!

CFO of a top Silicon Valley Venture Capital Firm

This retreat has been life-changing. I felt stuck in my life and needed to find my path. Now I feel joyful, energized, and ready to lovingly welcome what comes next with a grateful heart. I will continue to do this work with Christine as long as it’s available to me. And I hope that is the rest of my life!

Beyond Your Brain Leader

Beyond Your Brain is led by Executive Coach and Shamanic Practitioner Christine Comaford. As a CEO, an angel investor in hundreds of startups (including Google), and a best-selling author, Christine understands the pressure to perform in today’s fast-paced, high-pressure, business world.

She’s also seen first hand how the systems you use to enhance your work performance can leave very little room for your own spiritual and personal growth. Her mission is to help you transcend the ordinary realities of the physical world and engage deeply with the unseen.

I want to join Christine!

No particular spiritual experience or background qualifications are necessary to attend.

You’re asked to bring:

And open mind and an appetite for personal growth

A willingness to engage in new practices and processes

A desire to transform your life and business

Christine’s spiritual guidance doesn’t come from a place of judgment or condemnation.

In fact, after 7 years as a Buddhist monk, she left her vows because she didn’t want to do any more “upward transcending” until she had dug in and down to deal with her own bullshit. She is incredibly dynamic, perceptive, and engaged.

Many participants of the Beyond Your Brain Retreat stated that they have never before felt “seen” in the way that Christine seemed to have truly seen them. She is gifted at cutting through the noise, dropping the mask, and engaging with retreat participants in deep and meaningful ways.

The level of insight, guidance, and wisdom she provides over the course of three days is absolutely beyond the value of the retreat itself.

Here’s what we’ll work on during this 9 month digital program AND all-inclusive experiential retreat:

Energy

Replenish your energetic body, retain your energy longer, and learn to direct your energy powerfully. Use energy as a conduit for positive relationships and results.

Relationships

Learn to recognize your relationship with both the material/tangible world you’re used to, as well as the unseen world all around you.

Purpose

Understand, connect to, and prepare to begin living out your life purpose with confidence and energy.

Tools

Increase your vision, intuition, and manifestation abilities in order to create the positive changes you desire in your life.

The upcoming Beyond Your Brain Retreat will be Fall 2021. You’re encouraged to take that time away from both work and the demands of your daily life.

Prepare to drop in and discover the wonder that can be found when you open yourself to moving Beyond Your Brain.

Discover how to dramatically increase your:

Ability to be present

Focus

Level of energy

Inner peace (regardless of outer circumstances)

Ability to navigate change & conflict with clarity

Dormant abilities that you haven’t been able to access

Only 13 participants are invited to each retreat. Each applicant is carefully screened, and attendees are hand-selected.

The retreat provided a time and setting that was conducive to recharging, reflection, and reminding ourselves of our innate knowledge. I learned new techniques that will help me continue my work from a more balanced perspective, and focus my efforts more efficiently.

Attorney, Am Law 100 Firm

These three days transformed my thinking in areas where I have been stuck for years - and I view the investment in myself as the best ROI I've ever received. The environment offers the opportunity to build life-lasting loving relationships with yourself and others. I highly recommend STI's BTB Retreat to any executive that wants to experience their life in a much bigger way than they knew was ever possible.

Senior Executive, World's Largest Professional Services Firm

What an eye opener! This weekend allowed me to dig into some of the magic I witness in Christine. She shared so much, so easily. I had to have breaks to absorb the energy that was moving through me. Now I have more clarity, more energy, more tools to bring to my business and life. I also have a really fulfilling and deepened connection to myself. This was a positively transformative weekend that has enhanced my life in ways I am just beginning to understand. Wow!

CEO, Asset Management Company

My experience was full of discovery and has helped me to get in touch with my purpose in life. I learned how the elements interrelated and how to better work with my emotions and enhance my leadership skills. I now have a box of tools to help me in my journey in life. I am excited about fulfilling my soul's mission with happiness through healing.

CEO & YPO Member, Automotive Group

This spiritual retreat was nothing I expected! I had met Christine through an Entrepreneur's Organization full day seminar and her energy was amazing. After a long day she was still bouncing with a great smile. I knew I had to attend this retreat since spirituality is something I felt I was missing... Well, put your helmet on and fasten your seat belt! I left with a loving clear vision of where I want my company to go. I am re-energized, re-connected and re-committed to fuller, deeper living.
