THE MONA LISA EXPERIENCE

Where your life becomes the masterpiece

10 Women. Six Months. Opens May 23

ORIGIN

The Mona Lisa isn't celebrated because she's perfect. She's celebrated because she's layered.

Mysterious. Complex. Alive with depth. Seven centuries later, the world still gathers to stand before her, not because she's flawless, but because she is endlessly becoming.

That is the woman this experience was created for. The one who has built, achieved, arrived, and who senses there is still a next chapter waiting to be painted.

"I spent most of my life trying to shrink a name that felt too big. Then I understood it. My name is Mona Lisa. Now I create spaces for women who are ready to do the same."

~ Mona Lisa McPhee, Host & Creator

THE EXPERIENCE

This is not a program you rush through. It is one you step into.

The Mona Lisa Experience is not about strategies, tactics, or frameworks. It is a curated six-month journey through intimate gatherings, guided reflection, and meaningful connection designed to create space for the kind of thinking that everyday life rarely permits.

Pillar I — The Curated Table: Intimate gatherings curated with extraordinary care where every detail is thoughtfully chosen and conversation that moves well beyond the surface. The kind that stays with you.

Pillar II — Reflection & Expansion: Between gatherings, guided journaling and personal exploration prompts invite you to reconnect with what truly matters — not years ago, but in this exact moment of your life.

Pillar III — The Portrait: At the opening and closing, a professional portrait experience captures the woman you are at the start and the woman you have become. A visual record of the masterpiece in progress.

Day One · The Kawarthas, Ontario. May 23, 2026

The journey begins on the water

The opening experience is not a workshop. It is not a seminar. It is an immersive day and night at a stunning women's retreat centre on the shores of The Kawarthas, one of Ontario's most breathtaking lake landscapes, designed to do one thing: help you declare, with clarity and intention, who you are becoming.

The day unfolds through curated reflections, intimate exercises, and guided vision work. Not heavy. Not instructional. Expansive. The kind of space that lets you hear yourself again.

This is your declaration day. The moment you step out of the life you have already built and into the one you are ready to create.

Setting: Women's Retreat Centre & Resort, The Kawarthas, Ontario

Morning — Arrival & The Portrait: Ten women arrive on the water. Your opening portrait is taken, capturing the woman who made the decision to step forward.

Afternoon — Vision & Declaration: Guided workshops and intimate reflection time. Not about strategy but about sight. Who are you becoming? What does she look like? What has she released?

Evening — The Opening Dinner: As the sun sets over the water, ten women gather around a table unlike any other. An exclusive private dining experience. Toronto celebrity chef Matt Basile, founder of Fidel Gastro's, co-founder of Alchemy Grills, and star of Netflix's Rebel Without a Kitchen, cooks for you. Live fire. Farm-to-table. Gathered from the land around you.

Overnight — Stay & Integrate: All ten women spend the night at the resort. No rushing home. No context-switching. Just the quiet that follows a day that changes things.

THE CHEF Matt Basile

Matt Basile is one of Toronto's most celebrated culinary figures. The founder of the iconic Fidel Gastro's street food brand, he turned a single underground sandwich pop-up into an internationally recognized name, all while starring in his own Netflix series, Rebel Without a Kitchen, which earned him a Canadian Screen Award nomination. Today, as co-founder of Alchemy Grills, he is pioneering live-fire cooking in Canada, building the first barbecue that allows smoking and grilling simultaneously. His cooking is bold, intentional, and deeply rooted in the story of the ingredients. An evening with Matt is not dinner. It is an experience.

SIX MONTHS. A LIFETIME OF CLARITY

Intro: After the opening retreat, the journey continues through intimate gatherings, guided reflection, and a closing celebration — each moment building on the last.

Month One — The Opening Retreat: An immersive day and night in The Kawarthas. Vision casting, portrait experience, and an extraordinary private dinner. The circle is formed.

Months Two–Five — The Curated Table: A series of intimate gatherings hosted virtually and curated with extraordinary care. Each one builds on the last. The conversations that emerge rarely happen anywhere else.

Throughout — The Inner Work: Guided reflections, journaling prompts, and personal exploration exercises keep the expansion alive between gatherings, deepening what is unfolding inside you.

Month Six — The Closing Celebration: Ten women. One Michelin-starred table in Toronto. An evening of reflection, recognition, and shared stories as the holiday season arrives. Your closing portrait is taken. You leave knowing you are not walking the next chapter alone.

THIS EXPERIENCE IS CREATED FOR HER

She is an entrepreneur, an executive, or a woman in the middle of a meaningful transition and she is ready to move forward with intention.

She values depth over noise, quality over volume, and meaningful connection over surface-level networking.

She doesn't need another strategy. She needs space to think, to feel, to clarify what she actually wants the next chapter to look like.

She is ready to be in a room with nine other women who understand exactly what it means to have arrived and still feel the pull toward more.

This is not for everyone: The Mona Lisa Experience is intentionally limited to ten women. It is not for those seeking quick answers, tactical frameworks, or a passive retreat. It is for the woman who is ready to do the quiet, expansive work of becoming, and who takes that seriously.

THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

Who you are at the start.

At the opening gathering, your portrait is taken. Not to document where you are, but to honour the decision you are making to step into the next chapter of your life. This is the woman who arrived.

Six Months Later

Who you have become.

At the closing celebration, your portrait is taken again. The woman who stands before the lens is not the same one who arrived. These two images together become a testament to the masterpiece you are creating, and a reminder you will carry forward.

THE FIRST COLLECTION

Ten Seats. One invitation.

The Mona Lisa Experience First Collection is limited to ten women. Each participant is carefully considered, not for what she has achieved, but for where she is ready to go. If you feel called to this experience, we invite you to introduce yourself.

Every detail has been curated. Here is what awaits you.

This is what six months inside The Mona Lisa Experience looks like.

The Opening Retreat An immersive day and overnight at a boutique women's retreat centre on the shores of The Kawarthas, Ontario. Vision casting, curated reflection experiences, and a private farm-to-table dinner prepared over live fire by Toronto celebrity chef Matt Basile. You arrive as one woman. You leave as another. May 23rd, 2026

Two Portrait Experiences At the opening retreat and again at the closing celebration, a professional portrait session captures the woman you are and the woman you have become. Two images. Two moments in time. Yours to keep as a permanent record of this chapter.

Six Private 1:1 Call Six private calls with Mona Lisa over the course of the experience. One per month, dedicated entirely to you. Where you are. What's coming up. What you need. Six hours of undivided attention across the journey.

Twelve Group Calls Twice a month over Zoom, the circle comes together to reflect, share, and support one another. These are not coaching sessions. They are honest, open conversations among women who are navigating the same moment and who show up fully for each other.

Daily Access & The Private Circle A private WhatsApp group connects all ten women for the full six months. Ask anything. Share what's unfolding. Celebrate the quiet wins. Mona Lisa holds space within the group Monday through Friday — present, accessible, and genuinely invested in your journey.

Full Access to Everything For the duration of your experience, you have complete access to Mona Lisa's entire body of work — every course, every resource, every tool she has created. Plus anything new she creates while you are in the experience. Plus any online or in-person events happening during your six months. All of it. Yours.

The Closing Celebration Dinner As the holiday season arrives and your six months draw to a close, ten women gather one final time for a private dinner at one of Toronto's finest Michelin-starred restaurants. This is not a wrap-up meeting. It is a celebration of who you were, who you are now, and everything still ahead. November 2026.

FROM MONA LISA

I spent years in global corporate life. Senior leadership. Boardrooms. International stages. From the outside, it looked like I had everything. From the inside, I had become very good at performing a version of myself that left little room for the woman underneath.

At 49, I got fired. It wasn't part of the plan. But that unexpected ending became the most important invitation of my life. It was the first time I had ever been forced to ask: "What do I actually want my life to become?"

What followed wasn't easy. I built a business from nothing at 49. I found the kind of love I'd stopped believing was possible. And somewhere in all of it, I fell in love with my name; the name I had spent most of my life trying to shrink.

My name is Mona Lisa. And I finally understand it. The Mona Lisa isn't celebrated because she's perfect. She's celebrated because she's layered, mysterious, and endlessly becoming. That is the woman I work with every day as a confidence and success coach. That is the woman I created this experience for.

If you have built something remarkable and still feel that quiet pull toward more, this experience was made for you. I would be honoured to sit at the table with you.
