A conversation on releasing rigidity, facing fears, and aligning purpose with Heather Smolin
March 27, 2024 | 9am ET
Up to 70% of C-suite executives have considered quitting their jobs to find one better suited to their mental health and wellbeing, according to Forbes Magazine. This comes as over four million American workers quit their jobs each month in 2022. Wanting to “feel better” is almost universal, but how do we get there?
Join our conversation on feeling better and finding purpose as Heather Smolin shares her experiences with psychedelics and her transformative approach to rediscovering her purpose through spirituality, simplicity, and therapy.
Listen to Heather’s story as she shares how psychedelics recentered her intuition, released personal rigidity, and rejuvenated her sense of self. We will explore the steps Heather took after her psychedelic experiences to integrate findings about new perspectives, personal goals, and a renewed sense of truth into her everyday life.
We hope this discussion with Val-Pierre Genton and Heather Smolin inspires you to consider where you might simplify, release rigidity, face fears, and align with purpose in your own life.
Join us for a discussion that may reshape your perspective on life and work with Jim MacPhee and Val-Pierre Genton.
Moderator | Executive Advisor, Beckley Retreats
Val-Pierre Genton founded and built the world’s first virtual events company 20 years ago. Since then, he has become known as an impact-driven executive with a proven track record of driving sustained growth through regenerative business practices. He is passionate about sharing the science-backed benefits and ancient wisdom of psychedelics, with the hopes that this work become a priority amongst change-makers globally and more accessible to the next generation of leaders and underserved communities. Reflecting on his journey, including a near-death experience from overwork and related addictions, Val re-grounded himself through yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and psychedelics-based trauma work, ultimately leading him to Beckley Retreats.
Beckley Retreats Alumnus | HR Leader
Heather Smolin is a seasoned professional with nearly two decades of experience in corporate events and HR, driven by a passion for identifying the essential tools for success. In 2023, she found herself asking, ‘What’s next for me?’ and ‘What tools do I need?’ This question led her to Beckley Retreats, where she discovered a profound sense of clarity and a much needed infusion of community and nature. Beckley Retreats became the catalyst for Heather’s transformative personal growth journey, equipping her with the necessary tools for positive change. Since attending a retreat in June 2023, Heather quit her corporate job, dedicated more time to therapy and healing, and has begun exploring her next steps with a new approach to purpose and spirituality.
