Awaken Your Wonder:
Embracing Your Inner Spark through Creative Play

Join us for a transformative experience that blends art, music, nature, and self-leadership at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary.

Awaken Your Wonder is a unique day-long experience designed to help you reconnect with your inner creativity, wisdom, and joy.

Hosted at the serene Timberlake Earth Sanctuary, this retreat combines the elements of a summer camp, rest, and personal development to bring women together in a new and inspiring way.

In our fast-paced world of business and personal ambition, it's easy to become overwhelmed and disconnected from one's true self.

These challenges can manifest as a constant inner critic, a relentless drive for perfection, a comparison mindset, or a feeling of being stuck.

What if there was another way?

Come experience a day of sanctuary from these pressures, in a space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and creativity

“Refreshing break from traditional professional development sessions”

"Lyn facilitated an incredible workshop for our educators that was truly one-of-a-kind. The experience of making music together was not only fun but also deeply unifying. Her approach was a refreshing break from traditional professional development sessions, keeping everyone active and engaged. I highly recommend Lyn Koonce Music for any event where you want to inspire and energize your team."

"It would be fair to say that I'm a big Alisha fan but Vision to Action is at the top of my list when it comes to her programs. It's a big commitment but it's so worth it! Not only do you get the accountability and wisdom of Alisha and the group -- but after spending a year with the other people, you realize you've made friends as well."

-Jade Eby

Scott Brady

"Lyn creates a comfortable atmosphere and works with you at your pace. She listens to you and is open to whatever songs and styles you're interested in but will still challenge you to help you improve. She adjusts her approach as needed to keep it interesting and different from lesson to lesson. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a vocal coach."

-Scott Brady
