The Knowing Retreat
For those experiencing external success yet feel internally unfulfilled
By Christene Marie
Christene Marie's soon-to-be-released book, Knowing, is the journey of moving from horizontal alignment to vertical alignment: Reorienting our compass from pointing East and West guided by the voices, expectations, and opinions of those around us or the subconscious narratives and belief systems from childhood, to orienting our compass North.
Ultimately, Knowing constitutes the processes of knowing self, assuming personal responsibility for one's life, and activating the agency necessary to live awake rather than on autopilot.
The Knowing Retreat forces a pause to examine our auto-generated lives under a magnifying glass. Am I on the trajectory to actualizing the vision for my life? Is my trajectory positioning me to confidently say, “I am proud of the life I have lived!” when we reach the end?
Framework
The Knowing Framework will guide Retreat participants in asking “Why?” of the narratives and beliefs and thought patterns and behaviors we manifest today, tracing their roots to the genesis. Whether conjured in childhood or formative experiences in adolescence, until we know who we were, we will never fully know who we are today.
For it is only from this position of knowing the past and present that we can move into our potential.
We will examine our starting point — our current position — and analyze it against who we want to be. Together, we will clarify our vision for the future predicated on who we are at our core, given we are now free from the horizontal chains of subconscious narratives or mindsets adopted from experiences and those around us.

“The Knowing Retreat has forever impacted me and left me happier and more equipped to deal with the stress and craziness of every day life. After attending the Retreat, I've found myself less susceptible to the ups and downs, pulls and pushes of life and relationships...
I am focused on me, who I am in everything that happened and continues to happen in my life...This centers me, making me happier with me, and able to show up in different circumstances with a comfortability and love for myself, which has made me a better spouse, father, friend, and employer.”
- Mike V. Founder & Entrepreneur
“You are a truly remarkable person, one who brings out the best in others while guiding them to explore and heal the deepest, darkest parts of themselves. I’ve attended a few events now that seem they would be “life changing,” but they often fall short; their impact is temporary and after the excitement wears off, there is a lack of direction. However, this past weekend, I can genuinely say I am transformed. Somehow, you created a space where I could share pieces of myself that I had hidden away for years, even from myself. Saturday, digging into past trauma was extremely painful, but releasing all of that has brought me a newfound peace, a weight lifted. And after being home for a few days, I still feel it and am being intentional in continuing to journal and explore these feelings I’d repressed.“
- Kate B. Agency Owner
“It’s water to a thirsty man…You have brought the masculine and the feminine together. You deliver where others fall miserably short. Under-promising and then exceeding all possible expectations with a framework that’s as strong as it is lasting (if they’re willing to do the work). You allow Knowing where it was previously impossible. Creating an environment of trust and non-judgment that allows even our deepest parts to feel safe enough to open up.”
- K. A.
