Somatic Retreat for Women Entrepreneurs
Get inspired, share ideas, learn new skills, reflect and introspect
Dates ~ June 2025
Women’s careers are changing fast; in the UK alone, women started more than 150,000 companies in 2022, more than twice the level in 2018, according to the latest Rose Review Progress Report, an independent study of female entrepreneurship.
Female founders often wear many hats and carry the responsibility for a number of different areas, from employee care to finances. This can cause extremely stressful environments and oftentimes doesn’t leave women entrepreneurs with a lot of time to look after themselves.
Facilitated as a mixture of business and somatic sessions, this retreat centres around scaling and making a business sustainable as well as teaching wellness techniques to avoid burnout and prioritising wellbeing whilst running a venture.
We come together to share experiences and to collaborate. It is a chance to get out of your comfort zone, reset and focus on the things that are and are not working for your business.

It was such inspiring few days with likeminded women entrepreneurs with an amazing amount of learning! The retreat was a life changing, phenomenal time! The balance of strategic learning, knowledge sharing, community building, and wellbeing learning, I felt really cared for and invested in.

My heart is bursting with joy! Who knew that disconnecting from the daily grind and immersing yourself in nature could be so powerful? With spacious studios, a lush garden, and breathtaking forest and waterfall surroundings, inspiration was practically oozing from every corner. The best part? We dove into an amazing enterprise/business/well-being coaching programme allowing us to shape our unique experiences. My absolute favourite moments were the somatic and well-being sessions. It was all about getting in touch with our bodies and nurturing our well-being. So essential!
Somatic Practice for Innovation
Overcome challenges, tap into your creativity, shift from feeling threatened to being curious
Dates tbc
Whether you feel stuck in your current job or finding it hard to initiate change, somatic practices can give you the opportunity to find ways to overcome challenging situations.
Fear of change is often a fear of the unknown. Understanding the triggers of stress and anxiety allows us to receive more information about the ways we hold on to our experiences in our body.
This retreat focuses on flexing the muscles of curiosity by introducing the participants to body-based practice that cultivates a sense of well-being and stress-relief to support health in the body-mind.
“We cannot change anything unless we accept it.”
― C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul
When returning to our senses, we allow to relax into creativity and shift from analytical thinking into the space of sensory experience, giving ideas that may have been buried the chance to emerge.
