The Antigua Retreat is a year long programme for four women with a desire to do business differently – business led by your Creative Spirit, honouring of your Heart.
You begin with a week-long creative business retreat in Antigua. Held by the natural beauty of this magical island you relax, connect to Source inspiration, and receive your heart’s expansive vision for your True Business. 12 months business support to create it follows.
This is a pioneering, feminine approach to business. Being in alignment with your True Nature, in harmony with the Earth, you open to a whole new flow of wellness, fulfilment, joy and prosperity. You create a True Business so natural to you it doesn’t feel like work.
Early mornings in Antigua and Barbuda are divine. Early mornings on The Antigua Retreat are dedicated to divine connection. Choose from a nearby beach to swim, meditate and journal. Practice yoga, write your Morning Pages or book from a quiet spot at the Villa, or rest and relax with a cup of tea in bed. All with magnificent Sea views your morning practice opens you gently to creative inspiration for the coming day before enjoying a leisurely breakfast on the terrace.
Creative sessions run from 10am until 1pm and are held under shade at a beautiful beach or one of the outdoor areas at the Villa. The afternoon is yours to enjoy a lazy lunch, swim, read, sunbathe or nap under a palm tree before coming back together at 5pm for a Sunset debrief to consolidate the day.
This Antigua Retreat content is offered as a guide as we work with the creative flow that serves the highest outcome for all.
