Through her immersive "I Am Creation" retreats, Uzhnyeva empowers individuals to transcend the boundaries of traditional leadership models and embark on a transformative journey that ripples into societal impact.
The Genesis of "I Am Creation"
While Uzhnyeva’s retreat experience spans four years in Bali, the genesis of "I Am Creation" was a serendipitous moment of profound clarity. During a retreat in Costa Rica, a "soul download" bestowed upon her the vision for her future endeavors. Within three months, she launched "I Am Creation" in Bali, a spiritual haven renowned for its vibrant creativity. This retreat became the culmination of 18 years of entrepreneurial wisdom, fused with Uzhnyeva’s spiritual essence, creating a transformative space transcending conventional retreats.
The Pillars of Authenticity and Empowerment
At the core of "I Am Creation" lies a profound recognition that authentic leadership stems from a deep connection with one’s true self. This philosophy is embodied through the retreat’s four foundational pillars:

Authenticity: Leaders who operate from a place of authenticity inspire trust, forge meaningful relationships, and create enduring impact.
-
Connection: Beyond mere networking, the retreat fosters genuine bonds among participants, dismantling the isolating structures often associated with leadership.

Empowerment: Transformation emerges not from external validation but from within. The retreat empowers individuals to realize their inherent potential.
-
Awareness: Mindfulness guides participants to become conscious of their actions, decisions, and the energy they bring into the world.
