Crystal has been a photographer in Saskatoon for SK for about two decades, helping women find confidence in front of the camera.
Mix that practice with the love of adventure and she build Being Brave Club to help women find their own personal courage through movement and adventure.
She spent nearly half her life being “the quiet one” and thought of as painfully shy for many years. But she’s found she felt most confident, joyful and the most badass was when challenged: physically and mentally while on adventure.
She discovered how to help other women also break out of their shell to feel this way. In the past six years, she’s facilitated three successful photoshoot retreats in Mexico, each with an element of adventure and started planning full adventure retreats after starting Being Brave Club to get women to experience this thrill for themselves.
Allison Braun is a Leadership & Business Coach who has supported thousands of women create the impact they know they are here to make by operating in their Highest Potency of leadership, embodiment and expression … all while enjoying more spaciousness.
Known as “The Queen of Ease,” her unique mix of coaching, somatic work, strategy and guiding you to your own intuition & answers makes your challenges seem breezy and your biggest dreams inevitable.
When she’s not helping her talented clients liberate their unique, Undeniable Expression or experience more spaciousness to create their next best thing, you’ll find Allison drinking espresso & writing, swimming with her dog (Bear) or brainstorming with her hubby on their electronic music festival.
Most importantly she knows what it’s like to say no to life out of fear of failing, looking silly and not feeling confident enough. She knows what it’s like to question yourself and feel comfortable instead of adventurous and passionate.
And, she’s excited to help you feel confident in who you are, what you want and going for it!
Our group of badass women will enjoy:
- Exploring beautiful cenotes of the Mayan Riviera
- Guided workshops to build trust in yourself
- The adrenaline rush of zip lining and ATVs
- Dining together and enjoying amazing food
- Professional empowerment photoshoots in the form of glam or boudoir
- Free time to create your own adventures
- So much more
Joining in on a Being Brave Club retreat is a great option for women who love adventure and love to travel but might not have a group of girlfriends who enjoy the same things. Or, maybe you do but you don’t want the hassle of planning the whole thing!
The main things our adventures are designed to do (aside from checking off bad ass things from your bucket list) are:
- get you out of your comfort zone in the safety of a welcoming and supportive environment.
- inspire you to go after even more in your day to day life
- get you out of your routine and discovering exactly how much you’re capable of
It’s normal to be afraid doing new things and some of the things we’re doing can be scary as sh*t — and if/when panic sets in, you will know we have your back –whether it be by talking it through, screaming it out, holding your hand or just cheering you on!
When you go home you can be so proud of the things you did and the new skills you have to take on the ups and downs of every day life.
There are certainly a few destinations along the Mayan Riviera that we could plan this adventure around, but nothing quite has the touch of luxury like Tulum. Most of our adventure holidays are rugged and a little rustic, this one combines adventure with sophistication!
Tulum has beautiful beaches, amazing food, culture, history and just happens to also be home to a UNESCO World Heritage Centre (Sian Ka’an)—so much to enjoy. It just had to be here.
Welcome to the meat and potatoes of our time together! Our itinerary was carefully prepared to ensure we have time to do allllll the things while still leaving space for magic.
Feb 15: Welcome to Paradise! Today is the day you check in to our ah-mazing retreat home! We’ll have time to settle in and meet each other and get to know each other with a catered welcome dinner!
Feb 16: Day Two is an educational and exploratory day! We’ll kick off with an early morning yoga, breakfast and our first workshop: Getting to know your intuition.
In the afternoon, we’ll check out the town together, maybe hit the beach! This is also a photoshoot day! Empowerment photoshoots are available at our gorgeous villa for each attendee who desires one. Pizza party by the pool for dinner!
Feb 17: Workshop and Adrenaline day!! We’ll have a free morning to take at your own pace and after lunch we’ll have our second workshop. Then it’s time to gear up because we’re headed out on ATVs & zip lines for the whole night! This will not only be fun and get your blood pumping but it’s really going to build up those ‘brave’ muscles!
Feb 18: Choose your own adventure day. Head out on your own adventure! Might I suggest a trip to the Tulum ruins or a walking food tour of Tulum? How about an eco hike into the jungle? This day is also another chance to get in on your empowerment shoot! What about a DIY spa day? In-villa massages can be arranged if you like this idea! The day is yours to do what you desire!
Feb 19: Cenote Day! Today we’re snorkelling and exploring the nature around us! If you’ve never heard of a cenote, let me tell you a little bit!
/// Cenotes are deep water wells, which are fed by rain and the currents of the rivers. They were commonly used for water supplies by the ancient Maya, and occasionally for sacrificial offerings. Some of the underwater systems are so intricate that you can scuba dive and explore cave systems — we won’t be doing that, but we will get to enjoy the refreshing water and out-of-this-world beauty of them! ///
We’ll cap the day with dinner out on the town, if we’re feeling up for it, perhaps we’ll go dancing after!
Feb 20: Our time has come to an end! To celebrate everything we did together we will have a lovely breakfast together and then be on our way! What a blast!
Our itinerary is subject to change due to weather and other circumstances.
All of Being Brave Club’s events are centred around movement, adventure and challenging ourselves — jumping in with both feet, even if you’re scared. You’re supported by the group in every activity and encouraged to give everything a try!
It’s good to know what you’re jumping in to! Some challenges may require different fitness levels and for your safety and knowledge, we’ve done the research!
Group Yoga:
Challenge: Easy, all fitness levels
ATV & Zip Line Adventure:
Challenge: Easy-Moderate
Weight limit of 264lbs
Cenonte experience:
Challenge: Easy, but the water can be cold 😉
The amazing thing about these empowerment shoots is that they are an instant confidence boost, and the wild thing is –it’s not a temporary boost. The way you feel during your shoot sticks with you and when you look back on your photos, it will come flooding back fresh as the day you did it. And you get to say you did it in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
How is this possible? With intentional coaching, direction and feedback through the whole experience. You’re in good hands!
This one is more than instagram worthy so make sure device is fully charged at all times!
Our villa has two living rooms, a lounging pool, a swimming pool, a hammock garden, a roof top look out and so much more. It’s a show stopper and we cannot wait to welcome you here.
Did someone say Slumber Party?? This shared room is a large, beamed, double vaulted ceiling room, with gorgeous light and a huge stone feature wall. It also has a gorgeous bathroom with a hand laid, black river stone shower.
The friend suite is gorgeous space, complete with its own living room and a stunning bathroom. Beamed double vaulted ceilings, stone feature walls and a soft white neutral palette. Hand made Mayan beds with inlaid stars, to keep it magical.
