Meet Deborah

For more than 25 years, Deborah Connors has been bringing people together to learn, grow, and create healthier workplaces and lives.

As the founder of Canada’s Health Work & Wellness Conference, she welcomed internationally recognized experts from around the world, creating one of the country’s leading events focused on leadership, organizational health, and workplace well-being. Along the way, she became a sought-after speaker, author, workplace culture consultant, and trusted advisor to organizations across North America.

In 2024, a life-changing cancer diagnosis prompted Deborah to ask the question, “What next?”. As she began to put the pieces of her life back together, a new vision began to emerge – one that brought together her life’s work in an entirely new way.

Health Work & Wellness Journeys brings together every part of Deborah’s story: her passion for learning, her expertise in designing transformational experiences, her love of travel, and her belief that the most meaningful growth happens when people step away from their everyday lives to learn, connect, and explore together.

Today, Deborah curates immersive journeys that offer world-class learning in one-of-a-kind destinations, helping people return home with fresh perspectives, practical tools, and renewed purpose.

Find Your Flow: Pause, Renew, Rise

A week for women who lead, create and care at an ocean-front retreat in Costa Rica

March 14-20, 2027 | Limited to 20 women

With Deborah Connors, Mary-Lou MacDonald, and Barbara Piper

The Renewal Retreat was thoughtfully designed for people who spend their lives caring for others, leading teams, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities. This is your opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and return home feeling rested, inspired, and renewed.

Early Adopter pricing for the first 10 women to register, or until November 30.

You know the feeling

When was the last time you were so absorbed in your work, your art, or whatever gives your life meaning that you hardly wanted to stop? If it’s been a while, this week is for finding it again, and for building the practices that help keep you in flow long after you fly home.

This retreat is for women who

  • Have achieved a lot, but whose old ways of working are no longer serving them
  • Take care of everyone else but feel depleted on the inside
  • Have earned their place at the table, but wonder if success must feel this exhausting
  • Are emerging leaders who want to do things differently

You don’t have to wait until you’re running on empty to learn how to flourish.
