Summer Social Retreat
Tuesday 16th June 2026 - 10am - 4pm
Designed for the women behind the brands and organisations that are making an impact. Join us for an immersive day of reconnection and renewal to find your balance. Set within the regenerative landscape of 42 Acres, where nature, nourishment, and ancient wisdom converge. Guided by our leadership facilitators and leading Ayurveda expert Joanna Webber, we will journey into the heart of Ayurveda, exploring how its timeless principles illuminate our modern human experience. Through the lens of prakriti, our doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), and the rhythms of nature, we’ll uncover deeper pathways to balance, clarity, and vitality to help us show up for ourselves and those around us.
Who is this for?
This is more than a retreat, it’s a gathering for the women shaping today’s most impactful brands and organisations, we’re bringing together visionary minds, leaders of companies, the founders, chiefs, people directors and business owners.
We will be coming together in a shared space for some real life human connection and inspiration from ancient wisdom. Across the day, we’ll explore what it means to lead and live in alignment with our true nature through the lens of Ayurveda.
Between conversations, practices, and seasonal reflections, you’ll be invited into a slower, more intentional rhythm, one that restores coherence between work, wellbeing, and purpose. A day to reconnect and to remember what it means to be the human behind the leadership.
