Conscious Filmmaking Retreats
~Where AWARENESS meets FILMMAKING~
Join a group of inspiring women in person for a profound personal transformation.
For 6 years we have started each year with an exclusive invite only course for women called Conscious Filmmaking that has transformed filmmakers and now we are offering it as an in-person retreat!!
A retreat like no other. Get ready for the magical intersection where PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, MINDSET, and FILMMAKING all meet to create magnetism towards accomplishing your filmmaking goals.
"Sara Elizabeth has created a format that provides a means for breaking through belief systems and patterns that hold us back from reaching our highest potential in our careers and beyond. It’s been about 9 months since I completed Conscious Filmmaking, and not only has this been my most prolific year yet, it’s also been personally liberating and I know that this workshop is what kicked it off. I would recommend to anyone who is feeling stagnant or listless in their creative life and perhaps struggling to find their place in this industry."~Haley M.
"I think the ground shook for me with this course. I’m awake and feeling grounded for the first time in a long time. Thank you so much for this not only inspiring but ground shifting experience."
~Renata G.
We are in an industry that promotes "the hustle" i.e. playing the game, fitting in, getting seen, and yet the creative's superpower lies in being unapologetically YOU, and bringing that unique version of yourself to the pitch room, the page, or set. This means you have to eliminate any limiting beliefs, blocks, sense of unworthiness or shame holding you back.
"I created this retreat to help you reconnect with the most magnetic, authentic version of yourself. Together, we'll release the fear, self-doubt, and expectations holding you back so you can be fully seen, deeply respected, and create the life and work that truly align with who you are.
It's time to get out of your own way and unleash the magic that is YOU!" ~With Love, Sara Elizabeth

"Sara Elizabeth really has a way of getting to the core of things and helping you figure out how to let go of the blocks and limiting beliefs you have. I loved the content, the support and the group of women uplifting each other!"

"I loved the content and meeting with like minded women in the film business was invaluable. It confirmed that I am in the right field and it's up to me to create my reality. Sara Elizabeth created a safe and inspiring space for everyone to show up as their authentic self. She was a beacon for each one of us. I highly recommend this class."
