NASHVILLE, Tenn. - March 25, 2024 - PRLog -- Two prominent local communities dedicated to the development and support of spiritual leaders, IAOMAI Retreats and The North Star Community, have announced an exciting global partnership. In a move that marks a significant milestone for both organizations, founders Misti Dian and Michelle Donice expressed their enthusiasm and conviction for the unified future of launching their mission outside of their local arena.

"Our vision has always been to create spaces where souls come together for rejuvenation, learning, and connection," said Misti Dian, founder of IAOMAI Retreats. "This partnership amplifies our ability to reach leaders internationally and enrich their spiritual leadership journeys."

With mutually aligned missions, both sides celebrate this opportunity to enhance and extend their offerings. Michelle Donice Gillis, Ph. D., founder of The North Star Community, stated, "This partnership expands the work of The North Star Community. It allows for the important, progressive contributions of both mxn and womxn, and prepares individuals to lead with soul. Leadership of a family, of an organization, or of a business. We are all leaders in some capacity."

Key highlights of the merger include:

• Expansive Resources: Combining the retreat-focused expertise of IAOMAI Retreats with the dynamic, empowerment-focus of The North Star Community will provide an unparalleled repository of resources for leadership development.
• Enhanced Network: Members can now access a broader, more diverse network of leaders and industry experts, facilitating richer dialogues and collaboration through the upcoming IAOMAI app which will be released on Google and Apple stores later this year.
• Consolidated Expertise: The merge leverages the combined experience and knowledge of two passionate founding leaders, dedicated to implementing innovative development strategies. Michelle Donice holds a Ph.D. in Education Administration, Policy, and Foundations from the University of Florida and brings over 20 years of teaching experience. Misti Dian combines decades of entrepreneurial experience, consulting and a degree in Metaphysical Theology (B. MT). As an ordained minister, she guides spiritual leaders through her groundbreaking and proven conscious leadership program called One Year of Intention. Both are certified yoga instructors, experienced retreat facilitators, and reiki/energy healing practitioners.
