breathing in fresh air and exhaling a sigh of relief as you step into the quiet open space and slowness of your own private estate surrounded by farmland, country trails,
and the forest.
You feel your body immediately relax as you reset from the daily hustle of your home-life.
Upon Rising
to the sounds of doves and roosters in the French Countryside, you're sitting down to a warm, flaky chocolate croissant while sipping a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee or the most fragrant Earl Grey French Tea infused with royal blue flowers and velvety bergamot ---
---taking in the magical serenity of the garden with like-minded guests from different backgrounds, you feel ready for the day.
While you wander
the landmark palaces, museums, boutique shops, & see the beautiful art and architecture of surrounding villages and cities, you feel awe, inspiration, and experience innovative ideas flow into your mind.
You are hearing the wisdom from your Inner Authentic Voice.
Does this sound like you?
Wouldn't it be empowering to effortlessly find solutions to business challenges without succumbing to overthinking and frustration, gaining clarity and confidence in your decision-making process?
How liberating would it be to escape the constant stress and overwhelm of managing multiple business deadlines, freeing yourself from the burden of endless demands of your work and personal life?
Can you envision the immense relief of releasing past setbacks and traumas, allowing yourself to fully embrace the entrepreneurial journey and thrive in the incredible life you've envisioned for yourself?
How amazing would it feel to stop worrying about financial insecurity and know with reassurance how to gain the financial goals you desire?
.
How Freeing would it feel to Quiet the Negative Self-Talk, replacing self-doubt with compassion and self-assurance, recognizing when rest is needed over staying busy to validate your self-worth?

OUR 6-DAY JOURNEY TOGETHER

“For years, I struggled with decision paralysis in business. Endless spreadsheets and overthinking led to missed opportunities and a nagging sense of insecurity.
Then, I learned about intuitive decision-making from Regina. It was a game-changer.
The retreat wasn't about abandoning logic. It was about harnessing the power of my intuition alongside data and analysis.
Through guided exercises and insightful discussions, I learned to trust my gut feelings, recognize subtle cues, and make clear, confident choices – even in uncertain situations.
The impact was immediate. I started taking calculated risks, launching new initiatives I previously deemed too "out there," and negotiating deals with newfound confidence.
The results? Increased sales, a more engaged team, and a renewed sense of excitement about the future of my business.”
“I highly recommend this retreat. It's an investment in yourself, your business, and your overall well-being.”
Hazel Bourget, MBA, CEO, Shima's Jerky Chips
Note: While maintaining the integrity of the retreat promise, the retreat’s host reserves the right to modify the schedule based on the weather, needs of the group, and/or availability of excursions.
"My business has grown so much since attending & I am extremely grateful for the experience & Regina's wisdom.”
“This retreat was everything I needed, expected, and even more than what I imagined it could be.
I was looking to expand, let go of limiting thoughts and inner criticism, which were getting in my way of being in service and my purpose.
Regina is extremely gifted in seeing where you may be holding onto thoughts and behaviors, which don't serve your highest and best self, and gives tools on how to tap into your full potential.
After the retreat, I was able to move confidently forward in my business, knowing my worth, charging for my services appropriately in a way that feels aligned.
I mostly gained the confidence and an abundance mindset, which I so needed to feel in knowing I can confidently step into my soul's calling and work.”
Orly Altaras, Spiritual Teacher & Psychic Medium

"The retreat met my expectations and more, allowing me to hit the ‘reset’ button. I walked away feeling grounded, focused, limitless, and lighter.”
“The retreat released me from being 'stuck' and reminded me of limitless possibilities in my life.
I would recommend this experience to someone who is:
- looking to free themselves of ego driven thoughts
- wants to make productive decisions from their intuition
- ready for personal and professional success w/o boundaries
The retreat is perfect for anyone open, ready to learn & grow.”
Nancy Nazari, Regulatory/Compliance Consultant and Voiceover Actor/Actor
Oui, I’m in!
Your Host
Bonjour!
I’m Regina Sih-Meynier, Your Facilitator & Intuitive Business & Life Coach
I believe that everyone has the power to tap into your own intuition to make the best decisions for yourself and the greater good. Your Inner Authentic Voice, the telephone to your authentic self, is always available to help you solve your challenges. In service, my mantra is it only takes one authentically empowered person, you, to make a positive ripple effect in the world.
In 2013, I kept feeling a nudge and eventually heard a voice that said, I’m meant to do something else–“you need to figure out how to make professional and personal decisions based on your gut instincts.” At the time, I was working in the corporate pharmaceutical industry building a successful career.
My struggle was that I didn’t know how to do what was calling me on my own, which is what I tried to do for 6-years.
With the help of an executive corporate coach then intensive spiritual coaching, I figured out the blueprint through applying concepts from books and podcasts to my personal experiences. Additional intensive coaching & training with a psychic-medium, intuitive counselor & spiritual teacher & mentor, I have co-created this retreat experience.
I am here to share the blueprint with you to support you on your journey, to get unstuck, to manage through fear, raise your energy and move forward with peace of mind, reassurance, and clarity you’re making the best decisions through the power of your Inner Authentic Voice.
Joining this immersive experience will save you time on having to figure everything out on your own.

In 2021, I launched Oh Universe as an Intuitive Business & Life Coach after pivoting from my 20-year career as a clinical pharmacist healthcare provider and pharmaceutical corporate leader.
Throughout my journey the common red thread was listening to my gut instinct, inner knowing.
Now I love teaching Career and Life Decisions Made Easier for professionals and Authentically Empowered Leadership Program for pharma organizations and beyond.
I am a Chinese, Indonesian immigrant to the US, and my superpower is being a healer and beacon of light. What lights me up is seeing people learn from what is co-created through Oh Universe and to witness clients get results on their journey.
I love co-creating with my husband, Matthieu, a professional cinematographer, and taking daily walks in Golden Gate Park with our rescue dog, Fredo—a malti-poo, who rescued us.

I look forward to welcoming you at the retreat! Know, there are never any coincidences.
Love & Light,
Regina

Patrick Nicolle
Yoga Teacher
During the 6-day retreat, you’ll have the luxury to join Patrick, a graduate of the French School of Yoga & Academy of Energy Yoga in Paris, in 3-group classes dedicated to our retreat.
He will share his 15-year practice of Tibetan Energy Yoga (a form of hatha yoga), that focuses on the body, breath, and concentration. This practice allows your mind to let go to experience deep relaxation at both the emotional and physical levels. You will also practice meditation to calm your mind with a sound bath of Tibetan & crystal bowls, gongs, and other percussions.
Participating in these practices will support your transformative journey over the 6-days by releasing negative energy, calming the mind, and supporting your emotions to see the results you desire.
.
The Venue
The private country estate is immersed in the serenity of French country-charm-living and is in a quaint rural village of Vandelicourt, surrounded by nature.
You'll discover this is the perfect place to slow down, reset, and focus on you and your business goals. This estate has the magical energy needed to nurture you on your journey to hear your next right step.
As you step into the idyllic French estate, you'll feel like you're stepping into a fairytale. With the sounds of roosters and birds, you'll feel the busy city wash away into the far distance.
You'll sense the nostalgic history of the property with its original furnishings and works of art from former famous French talk show radio host, Max Meynier.
The main house is the perfect place for guests to escape to their rooms decorated with traditional French charm and luxurious plush French linens for the best nights' sleep.
You'll enjoy a French buffet breakfast in the rustic kitchen or lush garden and feel comforted by our property manager, who takes care of every detail.
The cute bistro is where you'll learn the concepts and tools needed for your journey.
The expansive barn-like guest house just across from the main house is where you'll enjoy classes with our Yoga master and other fun games.
The large, lush garden is for you to relax, dine, or play a fun game.
ABOUT THE CUISINE: BON APPETIT!
You may be familiar with formal French cuisine from eating at fancy French restaurants whether in Paris, Lyon, or in your home city, but have you ever experienced French cuisine in the countryside of France? It's truly something special and not to be missed.
French cuisine in the countryside is made from seasonal, farm-to-table naturally organic ingredients that focuses on accentuating the beautiful flavors of the simple countryside.
For breakfast, your tastebuds will be delighted by freshly baked pastries still warm from the local bakery including croissants, pain au chocolat, pain aux raisins, chausson aux pommes, along with fresh soft-boiled eggs, yogurt, and fruit from the local farm.
.
Meals are slow, multi-course, relaxing affairs all about connecting with each other and the local food.
You'll be spoiled with lunch and dinner meals in the comforts of the estate catered by a professionally trained female, local, chef who will treat you to 3-4-course traditional French meals.
We will also mix up the venue by dining at specially recommended restaurants in nearby towns
where you'll smell the most amazing ingredients tantalize your taste buds all in the ambiance of romantic French culture.
As you'll discover, the milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit, and vegetables are amazingly fresh, clean, and bursting with flavor compared with what you've experienced in the United States-- you'll want to take it home with you.
The hot chocolate, made on the stove top with locally produced milk is creamier and intensely chocolatier with just enough sweetness, is to die for! You'll have an opportunity to purchase the main chocolate ingredient to take home with you, but unfortunately not the milk.
The egg yolks are a brighter, richer, yellow color fresh from the local farm, where you'll learn about running a vegetable and fruit farm during one of the activities.
Don't worry if you have allergies or food preferences. The chefs will carefully make special accommodations for you either at the estate or at the restaurant!
HOW DO I KNOW IF THIS RETREAT IS FOR ME?
If you find yourself intrigued and reading the retreat description sparks a nudge in you, but you come up with all sorts of reasons why you can’t go (e.g, you don’t have the time, financial resources, vacation hours, or ability to leave your family)
that’s your logical mind (ego narrative) dominating your decision.
If the thought of participating feels exciting, freeing, and expansive, then the answer is YES, it is for you and you should do everything in your power to get here!
Why? because there is no price tag on something that sets you free.
Your next step is to figure out how to make it work. Ask for help. From whom, you may wonder? You know who, ask your Inner Authentic Voice, go inward and tap into your inner wisdom.
