The Emerge Retreat

Emerge retreat

Emerge is a new type of retreat for women in business

  • Have you reached a point where you are not sure which direction to take your business?
  • Does it feel like you’re always busy, but not really getting anywhere?
  • Have you ever thought that if only you had the time and space to take stock?
  • Would you like to feel nourished on every level?
  • Do you want to review, refresh and plot a more prosperous future for your business and yourself?
  • Would you like to have the support and company of other women like you?
It sounds like you are ready to Emerge…

 

Give yourself that gift of time. Time to take stock, time to refocus, time to energise your creativity, time to set new goals that inspire and enthuse you.
Fall back in love with your business.

What’s different about Emerge?

Emerge combines combines creative and reflective learning with the best and latest business development tools and thinking, in a relaxed and beautiful environment. You’ll get really focused, laugh, be creative and have the space to reflect.  It’s not just about having a good time, though that’s important. It’s also about really effective learning: a whole brain approach that helps you get to the big picture, home in on priorities and emerge refreshed and revitalised.

And we don’t stop at whole brain! We take a whole life approach too: balancing strategy with stress-busting. Mindfulness and resilience are part of the programme. And an important part of resilience is having a community who value your experience and understand your challenges. Other people who’ve been there. Mutual support between women like you is built into Emerge.

Finally we know there’s nothing else like Emerge. It’s our wish list for the perfect Retreat for entrepreneurial women. Emerge is exactly the kind of space and process we’ve always wanted for our own businesses. A space to work on your business, to take that step back, review, refresh and then to emerge ready and set for action!

Everything is laid on for your comfort and enjoyment. Meals cooked by the lovely Mags using locally-sourced and healthy choices of delicious food.

 

A lake to walk around, space to stop and stare, a delightful workshop space to capture the creativity from the weekend. Setting your intent on the first evening to gain the maximum benefit from the days to follow. Saturday will contain stress busting activities as well as workshops designed to give more insight into your motivations, novel ways of planning and access to your authentic self. Sunday contains the space to assimilate and plan from your whole self. You leave feeling energised yet calm, strengthened and inspired. You leave with a strong plan, fully motivated to put it into action. You leave with a new network of inspiring businesswomen.
