About Our Take the Step Retreats
& Self Discovery Workshop

Using a combination of personal stories, exploratory self-awareness exercises, poetry, music and lecture, Grace weaves magic in three days. Through a series of heart-to-heart group exercises, visualizations, meditations, creative writing assignments, emotional release, inner child work, art therapy, integrative body movements, and time alone in nature, you will take this extraordinary journey with a small group of women just like you.

"My life and my heart has changed forever after your Women's Retreat. Through my dreams I can tell I am processing all which was introduced to me. Each night I dream of old hurts, yearnings, fears. Upon waking I am able to sit with all of these 'files' and acknowledge the pain that put them there and use my new abilities to release them. I am so grateful. It's like a computer virus scan going through my heart and head while I sleep gathering up all that does not compliment my joy. I have found I am more gentle with my words - I support and listen...naturally. That is the amazing part. It is not like I am trying to internalize steps from a self help book and play them out in my life. I AM gentler, I AM more joyful. Thank God and thank you."  Beverley Miranda, Brantford, ON

Why a Workshop Just for Women?

A lot of women at first glance seem to cope well. They’re competent in some area of their life. They’ve learned to juggle their many roles: daughter, sister, mother, lover, friend, wife, business woman, confidante...the list is endless. What people don’t see is the fault line on the inside that puts pressure on everything else.

It may be an abusive past (or present), clogged emotion, divorce, illness, burnout, loneliness or spiritual emptiness. Today’s modern woman is constantly under pressure to “do it all” “be it all”, and “make everyone happy”. Every woman has her story, and it is this story that, left unexpressed and unhealed over time, sabotages any hope of serenity and happiness. In this weekend retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to share your unique story. You’ll learn to slow down, be still and get re-acquainted with your Spirit. Your heart will be enveloped by love, compassion and encouragement as you continue your journey towards healing and wholeness.

Get your Employer to Sponsor You:

According to research, many organizations in the private and public sectors today spend millions of dollars so their employees can stay home on 'stress leave'. What if you could offer your female staff a program that would unlock their stress and give them tools to feel more productive at work and happier at home? That's why organizations such as Health Canada, Swiss Medica, Guelph General Hospital, and Goverment of Canada, to name just a few, have sponsored their female staff to attend the Take the Step Intensive Weekend with Grace Cirocco. Women who have attended this program report feeling in control of their stress, less anxious, more content, and inspired to make healthy choices regarding their health.  Women learn mental resilience strategies, emotional intelligence, self confidence, and self awareness so they can bring their creativity, their enthusiasm and their passion to their jobs and to the workplace. Approach your manager and ask if they would be willing to support you as you do this very important work. Make sure to tell them that you will be doing this training on your own time, as this Intensive is a weekend program.

"Dearest Grace, How can I say thank you and express the gratitude that I feel to God for bringing you into my life! You truly are a Godsend and have the most appropriate name "Grace". I smile when I think of you because of the happiness my heart feels because of the work we have done together. Even as I write this, my heart overflows with emotion and brings tears to my eyes because I can now feel what I could not before and see what I could not see before. There has been a shift in my perception as I choose compassion over ego more and more. I look so forward to the day that I can forever bury the demons of my past and feel the love I would like to have especially towards my parents. I do so very much appreciate your kindness and heart full of love. How awesome that you are able to give to so many and by doing so enable them to love more and live happier lives.  I love you Grace."  Christina C.  Philadelphia

"Grace's woman's retreat  went beyond my expectations! I thought I was going on a retreat to gain clarity about my life's purpose. I got so much more than that. Grace truly is an amazing woman. She is inspirational. I have quite high standards but I have nothing to criticize about Grace's weekend. She truly cares and she delivers quality in terms of the materials used and the workshops she prepares.  I feel blessed and filled with gratitude that I could attend this retreat. I got so much more than I came for. If you are "ripe" for change and willing to do the work, Grace will guide you to a much better, healthier and authentic place. Tashi Deley to Grace and future participants."Carol  B. Toronto, ON

"Grace, I must tell you....  weeks after the retreat I have had so many aha moments, where I feel engaged in life like when I was a kid, so aware of my surroundings and excited and filled with adventure and possibilities.  I have been speaking up in situations that  used to put me into a state of confusion and I've been conversing with my Dad in ways like never before, with clarity and conviction. I know that you have been instrumental in helping me to remove the deep emotional injustice that was in my cells and this has allowed me to regain my passion for life. I feel joy and happiness like I am ALIVE and like I'm getting a second chance to be the authentic ME more and more every day.  Words are not enough to express how much I love you and how much you truly mean to me.  At the end of my life as I go through the tunnel I will remember how I felt with you at the Kingview Farm in Aurora, fearless and undamaged, like I belong to this divine mystery called life!"  Pennie Forma, Oakville, ON

"Dear Grace, You’ve done it again! I thought the Couple’s Retreat worked wonders for my relationship and now the Woman’s Retreat has been a miracle for me! With your guidance, love and support I was able to free my heart from the cold, black cage that had imprisoned it for so long. I am now free to give my love completely, and better still, receive the love that I have been denying myself, all these years. I find myself seeking friendships, no longer afraid to get close to people, wanting to fill my heart with love. I now have the confidence in myself to go after what I want, without the fear of failure. You are an amazing person, Grace. I am so incredibly thankful that I found you." Heidi Vanderkolff, Burlington, ON

Grace is a living angel, dedicated to helping women with emotional trauma. She has the ability to nuture and guide many women. Her book was an exceptional tool in my life. Her retreats are the life line for any woman struggling with self esteem issues. Her compassion for humanity does in fact raise the vibration of the planet...she has saved my life!! She is my great inspiration, motivator and humanitarian.   Filomena Costa, Mississauga, ON

 "It has been a little over a week since the TTS Intensive Retreat and it is amazing how much better I feel about myself, how much more secure I feel about my decisions...I know without any doubt that God knew what he was doing when he put you on this earth. Not only did you open my mind, you healed my heart, you liberated my soul and you set my spirit free. There is some more healing to do but with the tools that I took home with me and the knowledge that you are there and so are the Goddesses, I am convinced that I can do it. You are undeniably an Angel of God. I love you Grace." Tashi Deley, Monique Danis, Cantley, QC

"How can I describe your retreat in words? What are some of the grandest words that exist?I have never felt so connected to my Self! I feel incredible, unstoppable, invincible. I feel like, finally, I am home…how do I thank you for that? Grace, you are a beacon, shining forth your great guiding Light, illuminating the way for all those who are lost in the dark. Before you, we trudged along, weary, wondering what kept dragging at us, what was so heavy there behind us, trailing in the dust…After you, we realized they were our wings, and we finally remembered what it was like to spread them, and to fly free. Thank you for all you have given me, and for all that you are..."   ~Leila Hossein-Khani
