Harnessing the Wisdom of the Hive for Purposeful Impact
Welcome to Focus & Flourish, a transformational 3 day leadership retreat designed for leaders with a coaching approach,
coaches, and changemakers.
Set in the North Somerset countryside, near Bristol - UK, at a truly unique conference centre, nestled within a stunning 250-acre nature reserve, this retreat provides the perfect environment to harness the power of deep focus, embrace collective wisdom, and step into your purpose with clarity and confidence.
Like bees in a thriving hive, leaders flourish when they honour natural rhythms, embrace collaboration, and cultivate focus. This retreat offers an experiential journey through guided coaching workshops, embodiment practices, and reflective sessions designed to strengthen your leadership and amplify your impact.
Are you operating in a silo? Feeling disconnected from others?
In a world of constant demands, it’s easy for leaders, coaches, and changemakers to feel isolated, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their true purpose.
The Focus & Flourish Leadership Retreat offers a space to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and gain the clarity needed to move forward with
renewed focus and intention.

Using the wisdom of bees as our guiding metaphor, this retreat is a powerful exploration of how we can weave focus, flow, and flourishing together in our personal and professional lives.

What we cover:
-
Focus as a Superpower
-
Rest, Rhythm & Presence

Collaboration & Collective Growth
-
The Power of Words & Expression
-
Taking Flight: Bold Action & Lasting Impact
Focus as a Superpower
In our fast-paced world, distractions are endless, making it difficult for leaders to focus on what truly matters. Our energy can become fragmented and diluted.
Through guided sessions, we dive deep into the art of drawing all of ourselves, back to ourselves, so that we can power-up and maintain intentional focus.
In doing this is becomes easier to set boundaries, say no, and create the foundational support necessary to lead with impact.
We explore how, by cultivating focus as a superpower, you’ll be able to amplify your purpose and step forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Rest, Rhythm & Presence
Leadership is not just about action - it is about knowing when to pause and how to recharge. Inspired by the natural cycles of bees, we will explore how to balance periods of activity with deep rest and rejuvenation. You’ll discover how the rhythms of nature offer profound lessons on sustaining long-term success.
Through mindful practices, we’ll immerse ourselves in the restorative power of nature. These practices are designed to cultivate not only presence but also resilience and sustainability. In our busy world, honoring rest and rhythm is key to sustaining momentum, avoiding burnout, and ensuring you remain aligned with your deeper purpose. We’ll focus on how to integrate this into your leadership and daily life for long-lasting balance.
Collaboration & Collective Growth
True leadership doesn’t happen in isolation. The power of collaboration is at the heart of impactful leadership, and through this retreat, we explore how collective wisdom accelerates growth. In interactive workshops and dialogue circles, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, refine your ideas, and collaborate with fellow leaders who share your vision.
The power of the hive comes to life through shared experiences, where the exchange of knowledge, insights, and feedback becomes a source of collective strength. We’ll practice alignment and collaboration, tapping into each individual’s unique strengths, and building ecosystems that support mutual growth. By the end of this retreat, you will have formed deeper, more connected partnerships that will help propel you forward in your leadership journey.
The Power of Words & Expression
Words have immense power - whether spoken, written, or expressed creatively. Leadership demands clear communication, but also the courage to express vulnerability, authenticity, and vision. This retreat invites you to explore the transformative potential of poetry, storytelling, and creative reflection.
In our workshops, you’ll be guided to articulate your deepest insights and envision your next chapter in leadership. Our Resident Poet, Frank Bolaji Irawo will weave the potency of poetry throughout the retreat in addition to leading a session on the use of poetry as a tool for inspired leadership, showing how language can channel your emotions and ideas into purposeful action.
Taking Flight: Bold Action & Lasting Impact
The final stage of any transformational journey involves stepping into bold action. After gathering insights, refining your focus, and aligning with your purpose, the next step is to act. This retreat encourages you to embrace courage, visibility, and bold leadership. We’ll explore how to transition from inspiration to execution, identifying the next steps that align with your authentic vision.
Through immersive exercises and outdoor experiences, we’ll deepen our commitment to the impact we wish to create. The retreat culminates in a powerful closing ceremony to honour the collective wisdom gained, celebrating each person’s readiness to step into a new level of leadership. This is where your journey begins to take flight, and the seeds planted during the retreat can grow into lasting, purposeful impact.

Jayne Lunnon
What a fabulously powerful experience this was! Jayne created a safe space where we connected with each other and with nature on a deep and personal level, and came away feeling a sense of belonging, calm, love, connection and compassion.

Sam Carpenter
I'm so glad I was able to join the Balanceology Hub retreat. It had such a positive impact on everyone who attended. Beautiful friendships were formed and I personally feel truly replenished! I highly recommend signing up to the next retreat. It's the best present you can give to yourself! Time to reflect, share, form bonds and appreciate the nature around. The Mendip Hills were stunning and seeing the wild horses was the icing on the cake!
Julie Woan
It is now a week since I left this wonderful group of women and I am still basking in the warm glow that we generated by our connection. Jayne created a safe space for us to connect and share our authentic selves and replenish individually and as a collective. We talked, we walked and we deeply connected with each other and nature. I feel so full of appreciation to be part of this unique experience.
