Meet Your Retreat Team
STEPH BANKS
CO-LEAD FACILITATOR | SHE/HER
As the Owner and Lead Planner of New Berlin Events, I have a decade of experience in the event and hospitality industry. My journey has taken me through the dynamic scenes of bustling restaurants, beautiful wedding venues, and tranquil retreat centers, where I've led diverse gatherings and guided groups toward rest and rejuvenation.
Through my own trials and tribulations with entrepreneurship in the hospitality industry, I've come to understand the very real demands of owning a business and how it can easily lead to burnout. In grappling with this reality, I've come to recognize that rest isn't a luxury—it's an essential right. Now, my mission is to empower fellow entrepreneurs in reclaiming a work-life balance that feels right for their own unique and individual needs.
While the event industry offers boundless opportunities for creativity and fulfillment, it also presents challenges that can deplete energy over time. Drawing from my experience at retreat centers, I've developed a toolkit of insights aimed at leveraging resilience and fostering sustainable self-care practices.
I am eager to share these resources with you throughout, Unwind, where we'll explore pathways to renewal and vitality.
TAYLOR MAUE
CO-LEAD FACILITATOR | SHE/HER
Hi! I’m Taylor, Creative Director/Designer/Founder of Three Eleven Studios.
In 2019, I was burnt out from a lack of work-life balance and unhealthy relationships feeding the fire around me. At the end of 2019, I started to take an inventory of my life and quickly realized I needed to make a lot of changes in order to reconnect with my truest self. I started on my self-development and self-growth journey, releasing toxic relationships and getting back in tune with my mind and body.
In 2020, I followed suit and quit my corporate job on a whim in pursuit of living life even more on my terms, I haven’t looked back since.
This journey led me down a transformative path, discovering modalities to calm my mind, feed my soul, and nourish my body.
I experienced exponential leaps as I focused inward on healing, growing, and (re)discovering parts of myself bit by bit. And while that journey is never truly over, I’ve always felt compelled to share my experiences while bringing people together to share theirs and support one another.
I can’t wait to facilitate transformative workshops and hot + cold therapy practices during the retreat .
