    My Internal Compass

    An Immersive Workshop in a Relaxing Environment by Lion's Tooth Leadership


    📅 October 2026 | Ghost Ranch, New Mexico


    We live in a world where technology keeps us constantly “connected” — yet often leaves us more distracted and disconnected from ourselves, each other, and nature. True leadership today isn’t about pushing harder or moving faster. It’s about pausing, unplugging, and deliberately choosing how you want to lead.

    That’s exactly what Georgia O’Keeffe did here at Ghost Ranch. She built a life of intention and clarity, surrounded by the red rock mesas that inspired her art and her way of being. Her spirit lingers in the land — an invitation to live boldly and deliberately.

    This workshop offers you the chance to step away from the noise, reset, and reconnect with what matters most. It’s not a conference or a corporate workshop. It’s a growth opportunity for those who give so much of themselves — at work and at home — and are ready to pause, breathe, and return to center. 


    Think of us as setting the frame: just enough guidance to feel supported, with plenty of room for Ghost Ranch to work its quiet magic.

    What to Expect

    🔥 Fireside Conversations Inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe – We’ll gather around the fire to reflect on a short pre-readabout O’Keeffe. Her deliberate way of living becomes a spark for open conversation about what truly matters in our own lives.

    🧭 Guided Reflection & Coaching – In pairs and small groups, you’ll explore what feels most important right now. With simple prompts and relaxed dialogue, you’ll notice what gives you energy — and how to invite more of it into daily life.

    🧘‍♀️ Mindful Movement & Stillness – Quiet pauses to help you feel grounded and present. 

    💧 Mineral Spa Soak – We’ll rest and rejuvenate in Ojo Caliente’s natural hot springs — a true delight for body and spirit.

    🤝 An Intimate Circle – A small, welcoming community where you can share experiences and insights with ease. Many participants discover lasting friendships and peer mentors this way.

    🌿 Time to Just Be – Spacious moments to wander, journal, or simply rest. No agenda — just time for yourself and the beauty of the high desert.


    Why are we doing this?

    People are  losing touch with themselves while chasing success. We push, we strive, and sometimes we forget to pause and ask: What really matters?


    That’s one of the reasons I chose Ghost Ranch. Georgia O’Keeffe didn’t just paint here; she designed a life rooted in clarity and intention. She reminds us that leadership isn’t only about the work we produce — it’s about the lives we choose to build.

    This is your invitation to step away from the noise and reconnect with yourself.

    Meet your Facilitators

    Leah N’Diaye, MA, CPCC, ACC, ICF Certified Executive Coach

    Leah spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder while raising twins, juggling deadlines, and chasing the myth of “work-life balance.” Eventually, she realized balance wasn’t the answer. The constant push to “do it all” wasn’t sustainable — and something had to shift.So she redefined success on her own terms. Instead of chasing an impossible ideal, she embraced work-life integration — a way to lead, live, and thrive without burning out. Now, she helps others do the same.


    As founder of Lion’s Tooth Leadership, Leah coaches high-achieving professionals to reclaim their life, refocus their energy, and design a life aligned with what truly matters. She also partners with Fortune 500 companies, guiding leaders through transformational growth — all while navigating the real-life roles of mom, wife, daughter, consultant, and coach (some days with more grace than others).

    When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her behind the camera as a photographer or exploring the world with her family — always learning (and unlearning) what it means to live a fulfilling life.

    Emily Hibbs, Co-Facilitator, Certified Yoga Instructor E 200 RYT

    Emily joins us as a co-facilitator, bringing practices that help participants stay grounded while life is in motion.


    In addition to her work in the program, Emily runs her own wellness business as a yoga teacher, mindfulness practitioner, massage therapist, and guide for people seeking greater balance in their lives. As a dedicated single mom and business owner, she understands firsthand the real balancing act between work, family, and caring for yourself. Her work comes from lived experience, not theory.


    Emily weaves mindfulness into everyday life. Through nature, play, movement, breath work, and practical tools, she helps others discover simple ways to create moments of steadiness and presence—even in the middle of busy lives.


    Her approach is warm, practical, and deeply human. She reminds people that caring for themselves is not selfish; it’s what makes it possible to care for everything else that matters.Because calm isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

    What is the Internal Compass?

    Each participant will receive a beautifully designed Workbook and Journal created exclusively for this experience. Inside, you’ll find gentle prompts and reflection pages that help you explore your Internal Compass™.


    Your Internal Compass™ points you toward choices that feel aligned and true — especially when life feels uncertain. This journal helps you pause, notice, and capture those quiet inner signals that too often get drowned out by the noise of everyday life. It’s not about completing worksheets — it’s about creating space to listen inward. It’s where you’ll collect insights, aha moments, and truths you want to carry home. Think of it as both a keepsake and a compass — something to return to anytime you need clarity, calm, or a reminder of what truly matters.

    Your North

    Depending on how deeply you lean into reflection, you may leave with greater clarity about what truly matters, a simple framework for making aligned decisions, and renewed confidence to move forward with purpose — no matter which way the wind blows.

    Investing in You

    The workshop fee is $625. Your total investment will depend on the accommodations and optional experiences you choose throughout the weekend.

    This is not a large, impersonal retreat. The experience is intentionally intimate, high-quality, and deeply personalized — designed for meaningful reflection, connection, creativity, and renewal.


    Think collaborative, camp-like energy combined with the freedom to shape your own journey — something increasingly rare at this price point.

    This workshop is especially suited for people who are drawn to desert landscapes, art, thoughtful conversation, and moments of true rest.


    Ghost Ranch accommodations and other activities offered separately from the workshop fee that are available to you: 

    • Accommodations at Ghost Ranch:  A wide variety of accommodations are available. From camping, to single rooms to shared rooms. See website for details.  https://bookings.ghostranch.org/search-rates

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach us at leah@lionstoothleadership  if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    Most learning and development workshops  of this type run $3,500+. We’ve intentionally designed this one to be more accessible: between $700–$1,800 plus travel depending on your lodging choice. You are getting very high quality coaching at a lower cost so that we can make this accessible to everybody. Investment increases if you are being sponsored by a corporation. 



    All facilitation, alignment assessment, workbook,  activities, snacks and refreshments. 



    Accommodations, travel to Ghost Ranch and optional extras like spa visit and treatments. . While meals are included in your accommodations, you can choose to skip dinner at the ranch if you’d like to dine out instead at your expense.


    Think of this as more than “time away.” You’ll leave with:


    • Rest and rejuvenation in a stunning high-desert setting
    • Space to reflect, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most (alignment)
       
    • Simple, supportive practices you can take back into daily life
       
    • An intimate circle of peers who “get it,” and a chance to feel more connected


    Dress code: Casual and comfortable is the vibe — think clothes you can breathe in. It’s New Mexico, so if you’ve got cowgirl/boy boots, this is the place to show them off! Pack layers for cool, windy, and hot weather. The high desert likes to keep us guessing.


    If you do Yoga: Pack easy, comfortable yoga clothes.


    If you are going to Ojo Caliente Hot Springs: Bring a bathing suit, flip flops, and a bathrobe. (If you’d rather travel light, you can rent a robe and slippers at the springs for $20)


    Ranch Accommodations: Rooms are simple and cozy — no alarm clock, one bar of soap, and no hair dryer. Linens and towels are provided.


    Recommended Items (It’s a little like camp!)

    • Small shampoo/conditioner, soap
    • Hair dryer (if you like — many of us let our hair air-dry in the desert air)
    • Bug repellent
    • Small backpack
    • Water bottle
    • Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen
    • Hiking shoes and/or running shoes
    • Your everyday basics (pajamas, toothbrush, socks, underwear, etc.)
    • Cowboy/girl boots if you want to go dancing in Santa Fe or horseback riding (totally optional, but fun!)


    ✨ Bring whatever else helps you feel relaxed and at ease.



    Weather is usually sunny and we are high in altitude so bring layers, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. It means that it can go from being warm to cold very quickly in the high desert. Check the weather before you leave.

    Also, the altitude at Ghost Ranch is 7541 ft / 2298 m.  Be sure to learn about the impacts of high altitude and be ready to accept the risks. Basically you need to drink a lot of water and pay attention to yourself if you feel tired. 


    The Ranch cafeteria always offers vegetarian options, though fully vegan meals can be more limited. When you book your room, you’ll be asked if you’d like meals included. There’s also a small kitchen available for our group, with a refrigerator where you can store any food you bring.


    When reserving your accommodations, you can let them know if you prefer not to have cafeteria meals included, so you won’t be charged. Or you can mix and match — enjoy some meals from the cafeteria and prepare others yourself. There’s plenty of flexibility.


    You can rent a car, it's approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to Abiquiu. If enough of you are flying in from another city we can look into carpooling from the airport. We won't know this until we know who is attending the workshop.  

    If you are coming from Albuquerque as a local and are willing to carpool, do let us know so that we can coordinate.  

    If you are coming from Santa Fe and you don't have a car/don't want to drive, there is information on the ghostranch.org website about White Buffalo Shuttle which picks you up at the Sage Inn in Santa Fe. Their phone number is 831.359.8077 or you can email them at nivek@cruzio.com. Otherwise another option is Groometransportation.com and their phone number is 505.474.5696. Lion's Tooth Leadership has no affiliation with these transportation services. 


    Yes, It’s spotty so plan on a digital detox somewhat.   Wi-Fi is offered in several areas of the Ranch, including the Welcome Center, Library and Dining Hall.


    Yes, the studio tour is an option if tickets are available.  Ghost Ranch is where O’Keefe originally stayed when she first arrived in the West and then later she built her home in Abiquiu. They are two separate but related locations. So there is time on Saturday afternoon to visit her home studio and we suggest that you reserve months in advance, so be sure to plan accordingly. 


    We’ll have basic first-aid supplies on hand, but please plan ahead — bring all of your personal medications and let someone you trust know where they are. If you’d like, you can also share your emergency contact information with a member of the  team.

    There will be no live medical staff on site. In the event of serious illness or urgent medical needs, the nearest facilities are:

    • Las Clínicas del Norte – Abiquiu Clinic
      Local primary and preventive care services located in Abiquiu. Open weekdays.
    • Espanola Hospital
      A full-service hospital in Española (about 1.5 hours away). Ideal for urgent or emergency needs.
    • CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, Santa Fe
      A larger hospital with 24/7 emergency services, including a Level III trauma center. About 1.5 hours from the location.

    ✨ Being prepared with your own medications and an emergency contact ensures you can fully relax and enjoy your time here.


    🐾 Pets: Sorry, no pets are allowed.

    👨‍👩‍👧 Family & Friends: You do have two options if you’d like to bring a spouse, partner, or child:

    1. Registered Participants – If they register, they’ll fully join the experience, including workshops and activities.
    2. Non-Participants – They can stay at the Ranch and enjoy their own time during the day, then reconnect with you in the evenings. Please note: only registered participants can join workshops, circles, and activities.

    This way you get to choose what works best for you and your family.


    Yes — all are welcome here. This workshop is for anyone who feels called to rest, reconnect, and explore in community. We are committed to creating a safe and supportive space, and we will not tolerate discrimination of any kind.


    Our opening ceremony starts promptly at 4:00 pm so plan to arrive by 3:00 at the latest so that you can get settled. 


    Email leah@lionstoothleadership.com and we'll get back to you within two business days.
