October 13-16, 2026 | Byron Bay
You know AI could help your business. But where do you actually begin!
Step away from the constant demands of running your business and give the decisions you’ve been postponing the time and attention they deserve. Step away from the daily demands, cut through the noise and discover how to use AI confidently, strategically and responsibly in your business.
A small-group Byron Bay business retreat for women who want uninterrupted time to think, plan, connect and recharge.
13 - 16 October | Byron Bay, NSW | Limited places
Reset Your Business gives you four days away from the daily demands to explore your business systems, identify how you can apply AI & automations and support you to build a practical implementation plan.
This is not a retreat about chasing every new tool or automating the humanity out of your business. It is about exploring your current systems, looking at where you can use AI thoughtfully to reduce unnecessary workload, and create more space for the work that needs you.
You will leave with more than information.
You will leave with tested ideas, useful workflows and a clear 90-day plan already in motion.
“I left with clearer direction & practical tools I can start using straight away plus formed new connections with some amazing professionals.”
Eliza, Director & Founder, Empathia“The balance between relaxation and purposeful business conversations was spot on. I came away not only feeling refreshed but also with several new business ideas and practical strategies I am excited to implement.”
Vik, Director, VS Consulting
What to expect
When you run a business, urgent work has a habit of swallowing important work.
AI is moving quickly. You don’t have to work it out alone.
For many business owners, AI creates as much pressure as possibility.
You may be wondering:
Which AI tools are genuinely useful for my business?
Am I already falling behind?
Can I safely use AI with client or commercially sensitive information?
How do I check whether AI-generated information is accurate?
What should remain a human responsibility?
How do I introduce AI without creating more systems to manage?
Where do I even begin when everything seems to change each week?
Trying random tools between client appointments rarely produces a coherent strategy. It often creates more subscriptions, more tabs and precisely none of the promised spare time.
At the retreat, you will step back and consider AI in the context of your whole business—your goals, workload, systems, responsibilities and values.
The most valuable part of the retreat was being able to Take space and time, finding more direction, connecting with others in business and hearing their experiences.”
Shalea, Founder, Active PBS“I gained practical insights into integrating AI into my business systems, which has significantly increased my confidence and clarity moving forward. Just as valuable was the opportunity to connect with such thoughtful and inspiring people.”

Purposefully Small
Small enough so that you don’t get lost in the crowd, but big enough to expand your mind
Conscious Connection
Moments of connection are built into the program, connection with yourself, connection with your business and connection with other like minded people.
Practical Learning
We talk about the things that matter to your business, systems, AI & automations, passive income streams and you.
Reduced executive load
We purposefully design the time to reduce your executive load and allow room for your mind to expand. Everything is taken care of, so you can concentrate on you.
You are crushing it, but it still feels hard (and a bit lonely).
Reset Your Business is designed for women who:
Own a small business, consultancy or professional practice
Work independently and miss having trusted people to think alongside
Spend most of their time working in the business rather than on it
Have ideas but struggle to find uninterrupted time to develop them
Feel stuck, scattered, overloaded or unsure about the next step
Want useful business conversations without posturing or competitive networking
Value both meaningful work and a sustainable life outside it
Would benefit from a few days away to think clearly and reset
The common ground is the experience of building, leading or sustaining a business and wanting to do it in a way that remains human.
The process
We design every aspect of our retreats to provide you with opportunities to succeed and achieve your goal. The retreat moves through three practical stages so you can progress from curiosity and uncertainty to confident action.
01
Discovery
Explore what AI can realistically do for you and your business.
Identify the repetitive tasks, bottlenecks and unfinished projects consuming your time.
Discover practical AI tools for planning, administration, marketing, communication and service delivery.
Clarify where AI could create the greatest value—and where human judgement must remain central.
Build confidence through supported, hands-on experimentation with tools relevant to your work.
02
Analysis
Make informed decisions before introducing AI into your business.
Review your current systems, workflows and technology to identify genuine opportunities for improvement.
Assess AI tools for accuracy, privacy, security, cost and ease of use.
Consider the ethical, legal and professional responsibilities relevant to your industry.
Separate useful applications from expensive distractions, unnecessary complexity and AI hype.
03
Strategy Design
Turn what you have learned into a clear and achievable plan.
Choose the AI priorities that will have the greatest impact on your business.
Map how selected tools will fit into your existing systems and everyday workflows.
Establish practical safeguards, policies and review processes for responsible AI use.
Leave with a personalised 90-day implementation plan you can begin putting into action immediately.

Identify the projects and decisions you keep postponing
Review how you are already using—or avoiding—AI

Choose a meaningful business challenge to explore during the retreat
You’ll finish the day with a clear intention and a better understanding of where AI could create genuine value for you.

With guidance and dedicated working time, you’ll:
Create a first version of your chosen AI process
Develop reusable prompts, instructions or templates
Test the process using realistic examples and more difficult scenarios

The people who will get the most from My Retreats.
Practical learning without the hype
This retreat is designed for intelligent women who want to understand AI without being spoken to like either a software engineer or a complete beginner.
You do not need advanced technical knowledge. You also do not need to pretend that every new AI product is revolutionary.
The program combines:
Short, practical learning sessions
Live demonstrations using realistic business examples
Protected time to apply learning to your own work
Expert guidance when you get stuck
Small-group discussion and peer problem-solving
Conversations about privacy, ethics, accuracy and professional responsibility
Time to think, rest and connect in a beautiful Byron Bay setting
The aim is to help you develop informed confidence, knowing what AI can do, recognising what it cannot do and making thoughtful decisions about how it belongs in your business.
I am passionate about women having the knowledge they need to run their business successfully.
I am a business owner, consultant, behaviour analyst and therapeutic sexual health educator with too many years experience across healthcare, disability, governance and business development.
I understand both the potential of AI and the responsibility that comes with using it in human-centred and regulated services.
My approach is practical, curious and grounded. I help business owners use technology to create stronger systems and more sustainable ways of working while protecting privacy, maintaining professional judgement and keeping people at the centre.
I have designed this retreat to move beyond collecting AI tips and using Chat GPT as your work buddy and begin applying technology thoughtfully to the work that is taking too much of your time.

FAQs
5
How is this different from a wellness retreat?
1
This is a business mastermind retreat for women and health professionals that combines strategic business thinking with genuine rest and connection. It is not a purely wellness experience, and it is not a conference. It is structured enough to be productive and spacious enough to think.
What does a typical day look like?
2
Each retreat has its own program, but past retreats have included facilitated business strategy sessions, peer-led problem solving, business ecosystem mapping, yoga, meditation, locally sourced meals, and access to luxury wellness facilities. The balance between structured work and genuine rest is intentional.
how many people attend?
3
Every retreat is capped at a maximum of ten participants. This is a deliberate decision, not a logistical one. Small groups create the conditions for honest conversation, genuine connection, and the kind of peer support that does not happen in a room of thirty people.
This is a question for your accountant, but many professionals who attend as part of their professional development find that retreats of this nature are claimable. We will provide a full program of activities, including number of hours spent in facilitated training. We recommend seeking advice from your financial adviser.
Will I leave with an actual plan?
4
Can I claim the retreat as a business expense?
Yes. Leaving with clarity and a practical plan you can implement is the point. Past participants have consistently noted that the combination of strategic sessions, peer input, and genuine thinking time produces tangible direction, not just inspiration.
