September 8th - 10th 2026 | Peak District, UK

Here's the smartest thing you can do for your business right now.

Stop! Not forever...for 3 days.

Because you've been running so hard for so long that you can't hear yourself think anymore. The ideas don't come like they used to. The spark feels a little further away. And underneath it all is a question you keep being too busy to answer. What do I actually want next?

The Dream Retreat is where you finally get to answer it. Three quiet days in the Peak District, surrounded by business owners who get it, with the space to breathe, reconnect, and walk away clear on your next chapter.

You don't grow by pushing harder. Sometimes you grow by stepping back.

September 8th to 10th 2026. Peak District, UK.

HELLO, I'M EMMA

I'm a Business Growth Strategist who helps established business owners cut through the noise, make the money they know they are capable of, and build a business that feels as good as it looks.

I built a 7-figure business that looked like success from the outside and nearly destroyed me from the inside. So I walked away, rebuilt from scratch, and designed something completely different. A business built around simplicity, profitability, and a life I actually wanted.

I am the author of a number one bestselling book, host of the Simple Business Dream Life podcast, and creator of the SIMPLE SCALE framework.

The Dream Retreat was born from everything I learned on that journey. Because I know what it feels like when your business has taken over your life and you have lost sight of why you started. And I know how powerful it is to step away, breathe, and reconnect with what actually matters.

That is what I have created this space for. Come and join us.

The Dream Retreat is for you if:

You're an established business owner and you've been running hard for a long time. From the outside it looks like you've got it all together. Inside, you know something needs to shift. You're not broken and you're not failing. You're just ready for a different kind of conversation about what comes next.

You can't remember the last time you had a proper think. Real headspace, without the pings and the to do list and the next little fire to put out. You're craving room to step back, reconnect with your vision, and remember why you started all of this in the first place.

You're a bit done with doing it on your own. You want to be in a room with people who genuinely get it. Not surface level networking, but honest, warm connection with business owners who'll stay properly invested in your next chapter.

And if a part of you feels guilty even reading this, 3 days away from the business and everyone who needs you, here's your permission. Slowing down isn't slacking off. It's the smartest thing you can do for a business that's been running on you for too long. You're allowed to do this. You don't have to earn it first.

If you read those and felt something quietly go yes, you're exactly who this is for.

Not Your Average Retreat

If you're looking for sunrise yoga, cold water dips, or a colour coded agenda that runs you ragged, this isn't that.

This is a heart-led business retreat. One that blends strategy with soul, and actually means it.

So yes, there's space to breathe, to laugh, to sit in a cosy corner with a coffee and just be. And there's real work too. The kind that only happens when your nervous system finally drops out of fight or flight and your brain has room to think again.

That's the bit people miss about slowing down. It isn't the opposite of getting things done. It's the thing that makes the good work possible. The clearest ideas you've had in months won't come while you're firefighting at your desk. They'll come here, when you've finally got the space to hear them.

You'll leave with ideas flowing, decisions made, and a plan you actually believe in. Not because we pushed harder. Because we slowed down enough to find it.

And the setting does half the work for you. Nestled in the rolling hills of the Peak District, our private country home is the perfect mix of comfort and calm. Soft lighting, cosy corners, warm conversations, and long, laughter filled evenings in the lounge. A house that feels inspiring and grounding in equal measure, with exclusive access just for us.

Because some of your best thinking has been waiting for you to stop. This is where you stop.

What’s included:

Your own space to retreat to. A beautiful double or twin room that's yours alone, so you've always got somewhere quiet to land when you need it. Single occupancy as standard, with the option to share at a lower rate if you'd love to bring a friend, partner, or business bestie.

Every meal taken care of. Delicious food and snacks throughout, all sorted, all catered to whatever you need. For 3 whole days nobody asks you what's for dinner. You just get to be looked after for once.

A mini photoshoot. Professional images that capture the next chapter version of you. The one who's rested, clear, and standing differently. Yours to use across your business long after you're home.

Time to unwind, reflect, and recharge. Not squeezed into the gaps. Built into the heart of the whole thing.

This isn't a hotel stay. It's a home away from home, with exclusive access just for us, designed to nurture both you and your business at the same time.

A Business Retreat for Connection, Clarity & Flow

Because sometimes, the smartest thing you can do for your

business is slow down

WHAT TO EXPECT...

There's no rigid timetable run with a stopwatch. Instead, over three days we move gently between three things. Reflection, so you can finally hear yourself think. Creativity, so the ideas start flowing again. And action, so you don't just dream it, you start it.

Here's what you can look forward to.

Guided sessions. Proper space to step back, see your business clearly, and map the next chapter. This is where the fog lifts and the plan starts to form.

Real connection. Open, honest conversations with business owners who get it. The kind of room where you can say the quiet thing out loud and feel completely safe doing it.

Implementation time. Not just talking about what you'll do when you get home. Actually getting it done while you're here, with the headspace to do it well. You leave with things finished, not just a longer list.

A mini photoshoot. Beautiful images that capture the next chapter version of you. Because by day three you'll be standing differently, and we catch her on camera.

Fun and flow. Surprise activities, delicious food, long evenings of laughter in the lounge. The bits that fill your cup back up, which turns out to be the whole point.

By the end, you won't just have rested. You'll have moved something real forward. And that brings us to the version of you that drives home.

You'll arrive running on empty. Phone buzzing. Head full of everyone else's needs. That quiet worry that somewhere along the way you lost the plot of your own business.

That's the version of you that walks in.

Here's the version that drives home three days later...

Clear. Not vaguely, properly clear. You'll know what matters, what to let go of, and exactly where you're heading next. The fog that's been following you around for months will have lifted.

Confident. In your offers, your vision, your next moves. No more second guessing every decision. You'll trust yourself again, because you'll finally have had the space to think.

Connected. To a small circle of business owners who genuinely get it. The kind of people you can be honest with, who stay in your corner long after the retreat ends.

And reconnected. To yourself. To your joy. To the person who started this business in the first place, before it all got so heavy. They're still in there. We'll go and find them.

You'll leave with a notebook full of decisions you finally had the headspace to make. A clear, simple plan for your next chapter. And the spark you arrived missing.

Three days of slowing down. A business, and a you, that move forward faster because of it.

A Note from Your Host...

I built a business that looked like success from the outside and was quietly running me into the ground. I know exactly what it feels like to be so busy holding it all together that you forget why you started, and to be too deep in the doing to hear your own thoughts anymore.

What changed everything for me wasn't pushing harder. It was giving myself permission to stop. To step back, breathe, and reconnect with what I actually wanted. That's the whole reason this retreat exists.

The Dream Retreat is the space I wish I'd had back then. A place to drop the noise, reconnect with your vision, and find your clarity again, surrounded by good food, genuine people, and a ridiculous amount of laughter.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to bring yourself, your ideas, and an open mind and heart. I'll take care of the rest.

Come and join us in the Peak District, and give yourself the space to dream again.

I can't wait to meet you there.

SEE YOU IN...
