A virtual retreat by image consultant Ginger Burr & intuitive mentor & healer Iris van Ooyen
It’s not always easy to be fully yourself and shine from the inside out. Let alone be happy with our appearance. It’s easy to find something wrong with how we look. And the less confident or radiant we feel, the less powerful and present we are.
When we don’t feel pretty or confident, we often tone ourselves and our unique beauty and talents down.
In this virtual retreat we will look at both the inner and the outer aspects of looking (and feeling) great and becoming fully visible.
Because being attractive and confident has nothing to do with having the ‘right’ cheekbones or wearing the ‘right’ clothes and everything to do with how we feel about who we are and how we show up in the world.
The best of both worlds!
Ginger and Iris believe in a healthy balance between the inner and the outer. They know you need to start on the inside first, and that any changes you make through inner work will ripple through and become visible in the outside world. And that thanks to that inner shift, all the ‘practical’ work you do on the outside lands in fertile ground.
During this retreat you’ll have the luxury of being supported by two experts in their respective fields.
The idea to host this workshop was born from a combination of fun and enthusiasm, paired with their desire to let women shine and fully do what they came here to do. Hence SHINE was created!
The Inner Program
Iris will help you get clear on one of the main obstacles or barriers that prevent you from shining fully from the inside out. This could be a fear, an underlying belief, a past experience, or something else entirely.
When something undermines your confidence or makes you hold back, you automatically shrink and express less than your full self. You’ll be less effective, persuasive—and even more important: less happy!
Iris knows the impact of toning yourself down first-hand. Holding yourself back costs a lot of energy that can be used elsewhere and it’s a disservice to yourself and the world!
And both Ginger and Iris want you to be fully radiant!
Iris will guide you through:
Understanding the top five reasons you dim your light and become less visible.
Learning how to identify what it looks like when you tone yourself down so you can pivot and change it.
Getting clarity on the main thing that prevents you from shining fully, so you can remove that obstacle.
How to identify what's keeping you prisoner and release what no longer serves you (and free up a lot of energy in the process!)
Learning powerful tools you can use to become more visible and present.
You have something valuable and unique to offer to this world and the more you shine, the more successful you’ll be in achieving your dreams.
Iris will tune in for several participants—something she has been doing for over 16 years for her private clients. We’ve all adopted certain behaviors and beliefs and when you’re not clear on what these are, they’ll impact you and how you feel.
By getting clear on what stops you from showing up fully or as radiant as you could possibly be, you take the first step in transformation. Iris will show you what you can do to shift and let go of what no longer serves you.
The beauty is that each participant benefits from all interactions, even when Iris is speaking to someone else—as there is usually an underlying theme that applies to everyone.
Testimonials from Iris's clients
Tracy M.
Massachusetts, USA - Clinical Psychologist
I was so moved and freed and empowered by the virtual retreat. I feel a renewed positive connection with myself and with my existence. It had the effect of making me feel I was alive and could allow myself going forward to be fully alive.
It was stunning, as if I had been given permission to be full of my own light and did not need to feel alone with myself. It made me feel powerful. I felt I could access and manifest who I am, and that there did not need to be a holding back; that it was within my power to do so, and that there was a big, beautiful life force in me.
From the start, there was an easy feeling of safety and resonance among us, despite large differences in our ages, personalities, life course and even continents.
You said there is always a meant-to-be about the particular participants who find themselves together. I can see that, but I also feel you have crafted a wonderful vehicle for a transforming experience, and your in the moment guidance is clearly gifted.
I’m a clinical psychologist, I’m older … From these vantage points, as I listened to your input to the other participants, I could hear the deep psychological rightness in your insights and input. You have a rare intuitive ability, but it’s equally clear you have developed and honed that ability to make it most useful and effectively communicated. Thank you, Iris!
I was moving ahead in life as if the breaks were on, carrying around old events, not knowing they were still holding me back. Iris helped me see those parts that I was keeping in the shadow.
I thought I had come a long way already. Little did I know there were still tripping stones on my path.
The virtual retreat was a pleasure, the participants were lovely and supporting, Iris was the beacon in our midst shining her light on the parts that most needed care.
One word or sentence or the chills Iris gets when something feels right to her (I love when she says « This gave me chills »), are powerful ways she sends her messages out to get us moving.
For years I had this superficial knowing that you create your own life but I didn’t fully believe it. Now I know and feel that this is true and the belief in myself is so much stronger.
I loved every moment. Thanks to the retreat I am moving forward in my business with much more confidence. A new world has opened up.
It was highly transformative. Iris thank you for your guidance and being an amazing catalyst for us. I’m extremely grateful.
This retreat was a breath of fresh air. I truly experienced it as two spa days for the soul. I loved the wonderful group we had and Iris’s warm and sensitive guidance. Thanks to her support, the exercises and safe energy I was able to release an old process that had been holding me back enormously. There has been a huge shift and I notice the difference in my day-to-day life. Something has fundamentally changed in the way I respond and speak to others. We really need these retreats from time to time to fully come back to ourselves and listen to the calling of our soul. Thank you Iris!
The Outer Program
Ginger will address one of the most pressing questions she receives from women when it comes to their wardrobe and feeling good about how they look: What is their body shape?
The truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to choosing a wardrobe that works for every body shape and even when you do have a good understanding of what your body shape is, that information alone won’t answer all your questions…in fact, it can often bring up more questions!
Each woman’s body, lifestyle, personality and preferences are unique. What’s important is learning how to apply strategic body shape tools to give you the freedom to play with your shape and enjoy expressing different aspects of who you are. That’s how you make dressing your body easier and more gratifying and that’s what we’ll explore in this in-depth approach to dressing YOUR unique shape.
Of course, once you feel confident on the inside learning to reflect that on the outside ‘super powers’ your self-confidence! That’s why in the outer session Ginger will address:
How to identify your body shape (you might be surprised!)
How to get in tune with what parts of your body you want to emphasize
What are the body shape “rules” (and how to break them!)
How your wardrobe choices can change your perception of your body shape
Where many women get stuck—and how to move forward with confidence
Part of the reason that Iris and Ginger make such an empowering team is that they both understand the importance of addressing what’s going on on the inside first. Ginger is a firm believer in reflecting who you are on the inside through the wardrobe and style choices you make.
This is Ginger’s ‘Dress for YOU’ program taken to a new level because she is sharing it LIVE with you and you’ll have the freedom to practice the techniques with your clothing and your body. You’ll be able to ask questions while it’s all fresh in your mind and while Ginger is there to answer your specific questions.
“I apply what I've learned every day of my life!” — Sue
This body shape workshop is where you can begin (or continue) your personal style journey.
To gain the most value from this experience, Ginger encourages you to bring or wear something about which you have questions. This allows you to immediately take the information learned throughout the day and apply it with personal success (yay!) and get Ginger’s personalized direction during the Q&A. We’ll also take a short break in the middle so you can gather another item or two from your closet to explore and discuss with Ginger.
Testimonials from Ginger's clients
Lori
California, USA
I have seen and read many different approaches to the body shape concept and yours helped me reorient my self-image to a more positive, kinder image of myself. Truly, this was a game-changer for me, thank you!
Lisa A. Smith
USA
I left the workshop with an air of confidence, stripped my closet and started looking for the me that was always there but had been lost along the way. Choosing the right textures, colors, patterns, even hem lines and sleeve lengths make all the difference in the world to make that first impression to “knock their socks off”. The day I spent with you was an investment into my future, and it was time well spent. Everything I learned will last a lifetime.
Michele Ferguson
USA
I think I learned more about myself and my relationship to my wardrobe in that one day than in many years of trying to figure it all out! Things just seemed to gel and come together. I know a wardrobe is an ongoing journey, but I feel I am now on the right path!
Sandra Pelton
USA
Even if you did not participate, but just watched the other women try on outfits and accessories, you would learn by observing how they transform before your eyes.
Melissa Fristrom
USA
Ginger has been phenomenal at helping my internal beauty be realized on the outside. Creating that integration has allowed me to love getting dressed every day. And clothes no longer feel like armor so much as lovely friends.
