October 19-24, 2026 | The Black Hills of South Dakota
...not by doing more, but my making space for yourself.
The Black Hills offer that space.
Out here, surrounded by open sky, quiet trails, and soul-stirring landscapes, you’ll reconnect with the part of you that knows exactly who you are and what comes next.
This retreat isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about releasing what’s outdated, realigning with your truth, and letting the clarity you’ve been craving finally catch up to you.
You’ll return home grounded, clear, and connected to a vision that feels aligned, energizing, and unmistakably yours.


The Black Hills create the kind of spaciousness you can feel in your whole body. Away from responsibilities, routines, and the constant pull of daily life, you finally have room to breathe.
In this quiet, what’s outdated naturally rises to the surface, old patterns, lingering pressure, expectations that never belonged to you in the first place.
As you release what no longer fits, you make space for clarity, energy, and truth to return.
Nature has a way of bringing you back to yourself.
Through guided coaching circles, intentional reflection, conversations around the fire, and time on the trails, you’ll reconnect with your intuition, your desires, and your deeper wisdom.
You’ll feel supported by both community and the land itself as you find your way back to what feels meaningful, aligned, and true.
Clarity comes when you slow down enough to hear your own voice again.
Each day of this retreat is carefully crafted to help clarity rise naturally through presence, connection, movement, and grounded guidance.
You’ll leave with a renewed sense of direction, an aligned vision for your next chapter, and the calm confidence to move forward with purpose.



REAL LEADERS. NO GURUS. JUST TWO PEOPLE WHO WALK THE WALK
Jennifer Dawn and her team don’t just teach business freedom—they live it.
With decades of combined experience building companies, leading teams, and navigating the real challenges of growth, they bring both strategy and soul to the table.
This retreat isn’t theory. It’s real-world wisdom, delivered with honesty, humor, and heart.

Douglas made the leap from corporate life to full-time author. He’s penned seven books, from spiritual sci-fi to heart-wrenching short stories, all rooted in themes of growth, grit, and the human experience.
Douglas has attended countless retreats as part of the JDC Team—and knows that true transformation happens when creativity, challenge, and reflection intersect. That insight fuels his role on this retreat: to hold space, ask the right questions, and help you see your next move.

Jennifer Dawn helps business owners escape the hamster wheel of constant “doing”, unpredictable cash flow, and misaligned teams, empowering them to create thriving businesses they actually love. As a three-time seven-figure business builder (achieved by less than 2% of women entrepreneurs), she's helped over 50,000 business owners rediscover the joy in entrepreneurship while scaling their businesses. She’s the creator of Best Planner Ever, and author of two books, The Joy Guide: Finding Your Joy In A World of Crap, and best-selling The Apple Stand: How To Rekindle The Love for Your Business.

Begin with morning coaching, enjoy nourishing meals, and reconnect with yourself through time in nature as you land fully in the rhythm of the retreat.
With your energy grounded and your vision clearer, you’ll map your next aligned steps and reconnect to a sense of purpose that feels steady and true.
Experience a guided hike or outdoor adventure designed to spark insight and clarity, followed by evening circle time to integrate what’s emerging.
Say heartfelt goodbyes and head home Saturday morning feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply aligned with the path ahead.
