Ignite & Empower

A Transformative Experience for Entrepreneurs Who've Faced Setbacks

Join Cinnamon Brûlée for an intimate healing journey where you'll harness the ancient Japanese Yakisugi technique of burning wood as a powerful metaphor for transformation. Designed specifically for entrepreneurs who have weathered significant business challenges, this workshop invites you to physically apply flame to wood, creating a beautiful art piece while symbolically transforming past setbacks into fuel for innovation. Through this hands-on process, experience both the tangible transformation of materials and the profound inner renewal of your entrepreneurial spirit.

It’s not healthy to keep hurt and shame bottled up. When we allow our failure to define our identity, we stagnate. We play small. We withdraw. The fear of another failure inhibits our creativity. 

At the heart of this event is a powerful truth: failure does not define us. The core of every entrepreneur remains whole and undamaged. Ignite & Empower is a transformative session designed for entrepreneurs who have faced business closure, unrealized ventures, major client losses, or team layoffs. This gathering will provide a safe space to process failure, release shame, and reclaim confidence through the metaphor of fire. By harnessing the power of fire, we transform setbacks into fuel for our next bold venture. 

Attendees will leave with renewed agency, a structured plan for moving forward, and a deepened connection to their inherent wholeness.

Are you ready to release, reclaim, and thrive?
