The Antigua Retreat is for individuals or small, intimate groups of four people with a desire to do business differently. Held by the natural beauty of this Caribbean island, its white sandy beaches, turquoises seas and hill top expansive horizons, you relax, open up and surrender to pure Source inspiration for the next evolution of your True Business.
This is a pioneering, feminine approach. Aligned with your True Nature and Purpose, in harmony with the Creative Flow, you step into a whole new world of possibility. One that is creative, confident and calm. One that is joyful, rich with opportunity and inspiration. Your True Business emerges and it is so natural to you it doesn’t feel like work.
You return home re-energised with an inspired True Business plan. This is followed by year long business support to bring your heart’s vision into being; and the option to return to The Antigua Retreat a year later the perfect space and time for your annual creative business planning.
Exploring the island and its many different beaches; yoga at the villa; paddle boarding and kayaking are available all week; snorkelling and swimming with sea turtles; nature hikes to expansive horizons; a massage with Lucille; making dinner together on the terrace; local restaurants and lots and lots of beautiful sea swimming.
Early mornings in Antigua and Barbuda are divine. You will have the chance to hike, swim, meditate, practice yoga, write your Morning Pages, all with magnificent Sea views to open you gently to creative inspiration for the coming day. There’s breakfast on the terrace and Creative Sessions run from 10am until 1pm under the shade of a beautiful beach or at the Villa. The afternoon is yours to swim, read, sunbathe, explore your True Business a little more before coming back together for our Sunset Alignment Sessions to consolidate the day. There’s a day off to do whatever you like; and an afternoon of massage and one to one sessions with me.
This Antigua Retreat content is offered as a guide as we work with the Creative Flow to serves the highest outcome for each person in the group.

Hello, I’m Kat, founder of the True Business School, working with creatives, pioneers, teachers, healers, artists, change-makers and global brands making a difference including Nike, Good Energy, Homeless World Cup, Eric Cantona and Desmond Tutu.
As the Global Communications Director for the Homeless World Cup I experienced burn out. With nothing left to give I began listening to my heart and this led me to Antigua where immersing in nature – floating in the turquoise sea and eating mango straight from the tree – brought me back to life. Then it began feeding me with inspiration for True Business, a groundbreaking way of being in business that is regenerative, nourishing simply by being in harmony with your true nature.
Embracing my purpose to connect people to their heart’s wisdom and inspiration to build their True Business, I am enjoying the adventure of creating business and life in harmony with the Creative Flow writing the upcoming book ‘Your True Business: unleash your creative spirit on the business you were born for’. I live in Antigua with Trev and Scratch; and the UK.
By following the wisdom of her heart, Step created her True Business: “Your invitation to sit with the new vision of working with men during PR with Heart, Kat, opened up and clarified the direction for my work.”
Steph Magenta, Breathwork Facilitator and Teacher“’It is enjoyable to make things visible, which are invisible’ – Eric Cantona. This quote speaks volumes about you Kat. You are an inspiration now and always.”
Dave Cobban, Director, Nike Sustainable Business and Innovation“My PR plan became the creative, energetic heart of my project. What emerged was surprising, energising, and far larger than I expected. This has given me the courage to do effortlessly what I previously believed would be challenging. I cannot recommend Kat more highly. She is world-class.”
Simon Haas, author, The Book of Dharma“Kat is simply world class. She turns PR into a win, win, win delivering outstanding value to all she connects with. She is genius at the big picture strategy AND delivers quality down to the minute details of every aspect.”
Neil Crofts, Cultural Innovation & Authentic Leadership Consultant“Kat is a powerful, imaginative and intuitive leader with a great capacity to see a vision and make it happen. What sets Kat apart is her heart. She works with passion and exudes creative energy and enthusiasm that is both inspiring and contagious.”
Mel Young, president, Homeless World Cup
