What If You Could Press Pause on Everything—
Just for Three Days?
Join us for a ME-Time Weekend in McCall
The Conqueror’s Journey Retreat & Cohort
April 17–19, 2026 | Shore Lodge, McCall, Idaho
Guided by Shannon McGuire
An Invitation to Slow Down and Reflect
You show up every day.
You handle what needs handling.
You decide, respond, guide, care—again and again.
And somewhere between the to-dos and the expectations, you notice something quieter shifting inside you. Your inner voice feels a few decibels softer than it used to. Things that used to feel easy don’t anymore. Questions feel more meaningful. Choices feel weightier.
This experience exists for that moment—when presence matters more than motion, and clarity feels worth claiming.
What This Experience is
IM+POWERed® — The Conqueror’s Journey Retreat is three days set apart in a way that feels rich instead of hectic. Gathered at the Shore Lodge in McCall, Idaho, a small group of women spend time together with thoughtful flow, shared meals, conversation, and room to reflect.
We stay in one place. We slow the pace. We notice what’s here now. And for those who want to go further, there’s an eight-week guided cohort that follows.

Why This Exists
Life fills up with action and responsibility. Over time, that cycle leaves little room for noticing the changes inside you—the shifts in desire, identity, and direction that are subtle yet meaningful.
This retreat was created to offer space for those moments of noticing. Quiet enough to follow your own thread of thought. Warm enough to meet others doing the same. Structured enough to feel held and open enough to feel alive.
This is time that feels worthy of your attention.
Who This Resonates With
Women who say yes to this experience are often leaders in more than one place.
They lead families, teams, organizations, or communities. They’re capable and thoughtful. They’re willing to dive deeper into the waters of their lived experiences to remove comforting lies and reclaim their truth.
This retreat resonates with women who are:
sensing shifts in desire or identity
wanting time to think without compounding urgency
willing to invest intentional attention in themselves
interested in spending time with like-hearted women traveling a similar path
You don’t need to arrive with a plan. Curiosity and honesty are enough.
The Shore Lodge
McCall Idaho
Where it Happens
The Shore Lodge sits along Payette Lake, surrounded by mountains, water, and open sky. The setting naturally slows the pace. Everyone stays onsite. Sessions, meals, and gatherings are walkable. Once you arrive, the weekend unfolds without logistical decisions.
The group is small—25 women—creating a relaxed, connected experience where conversations feel personal and unhurried.
How the Days Unfold
The retreat moves at a deliberate pace. Each day has a clear purpose and enough structure to feel held, with space to rest, reflect, and connect.
FRIDAY
Arrive and Exhale
Friday supports unwinding.
You’ll arrive, check in, and receive your ME-Time Kit. The afternoon remains open for resting, walking by the lake, or simply settling into the change of pace.
In the evening, the group gathers for a relaxed kickoff dinner followed by a private screening of POTATO in the theater. The film introduces shared themes of story, place, and choice.
A brief reflection closes the evening, offering space to notice what you’re bringing with you into the weekend.
SATURDAY
Reflect and Clarify
Saturday forms the heart of the retreat.
Guided sessions, conversation, and quiet reflection unfold throughout the day using The Conqueror’s Journey framework. Time is balanced between group work, individual writing, and spacious breaks.
Many women find that insight arrives naturally here—through conversation, silence, and being present without distraction.
The evening invites relaxed connection and ease.
SUNDAY
Integrate and Commit
Sunday brings the weekend together.
Through reflection and conversation, attention turns toward coherence—how thoughts, feelings, and choices align moving forward. The Four Ancient Questions offer a steady guide as you consider what feels clear and what feels complete.
The retreat closes with a shared lunch and final circle. We wrap up by noon.
Those continuing on with the cohort will meet over the next seven weeks beginning April 22nd.
Meet Your Guide: Shannon McGuire
Shannon McGuire is a mother, strategist, and facilitator who designs reflective, in-person experiences grounded in lived experience. In her memoir, To (M)others From the Hood, she shares her journey through motherhood with candor, offering practical wisdom shaped by real life rather than theory.
Her professional background leading leaders, combined with a compassionate coaching style and her own experience pursuing ambitious goals, led her to launch Supreme Moms and create IM+POWERed®. Through this work, Shannon brings women together to reconnect with joy, strengthen confidence, and approach their lives and aspirations with greater intention.
The Conqueror’s Journey
At the heart of this retreat is The Conqueror’s Journey—a six-step process Shannon developed through her own life review and practice.
The journey unfolds through conversation, writing, and quiet reflection. Each step builds naturally on the one before it.
The process supports you as you:
notice areas where energy feels tied up
name what matters now
look at the stories you tell about yourself
recognize where challenge is inviting growth
reconnect with who you are beneath the roles you play
sense what direction feels right next
Many women recognize these experiences immediately. The Conqueror’s Journey gives them time, space, and language—so insight can surface and settle in a way that feels real and usable.
Ways to engage
Some women attend the retreat as a complete experience. Others choose to continue through the IM+POWERed® Cohort, an eight-week guided extension that supports integration into everyday life.
Both paths begin with the retreat at Shore Lodge.
If something you’ve read on this page feels familiar, that matters.
That quiet recognition is often the sign that the timing is right.
