You are invited to the
Rest & Receive Retreat
19 -Â 22 February 2025
Barranca luxury estate in Kangaroo Valley, NSW
Hosted by Emma Lovell
Escape the hustle on this all-inclusive, retreat exclusively for people who are ready to attract the work and life they want!
Join us for 3 nights and 4 magical days at the Barranca Private Estate in the stunning Kangaroo Valley, NSW.
Step away from the grind and into a space designed for rest, reflection, and renewal, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and shared with 12 extraordinary people who, like you, are ready to create a life that blends work, play, and purpose. This is your opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, dream big, and receive all the opportunities you truly deserve.
Work, work, work, play.
It’s the model we’ve been taught, isn’t it? Business trips, conferences, and events filled to the brim with packed schedules, endless to-dos, and little room to breathe. The focus is always on doing more, achieving more, and staying in motion. But here’s the thing—true growth doesn’t always come from more action. Sometimes, it comes from creating the space to step back, reflect, and recharge.
What if there were another way?
You don’t have to buy into the “work, work, work, play” cycle. You don’t have to wait for retirement or that once-a-year vacation to enjoy life. If you’re tired of saving your energy for some far-off “someday,” it’s time to rethink how you live and work.
That’s where rest and receive comes in. A way to take a short amount of time out to take big action in your life. Because when we rest, we can receive opportunities.
This retreat will introduce you to bleisure. Business and leisure combined. It'll help you create balance and design a lifestyle that nourishes you—right now. It’s about rest, exploration, and joy, seamlessly woven into the fabric of your everyday life.
So, let me ask: What does rest look like to you? And more importantly, are you getting enough of it?
Embrace Rest & Receive!Â
Rest means to recover, regenerate, reinvigorate and restore.
Receiving means to be open and to welcome opportunities.
It is by taking the time out to rest, and relax, that you will truly be able to receive all the wonderful possibilities that are waiting for you. Those big dreams, those goals, that vision for the future - it’s going to happen because you’re investing in your self care.
You will gain so much more from these four days out of your office than you could ever achieve when you’re “in the business”. This is about the future, this is about investing in you, and this is about how you can then make an impact in your life and in your world.
This retreat is your opportunity to step into a new rhythm—one that honours your dreams, priorities, and well-being. It’s time to let go of the grind and embrace the life you deserve.
The Rest & Receive Retreat creates the perfect space to recharge your energy and spark new inspiration. It's time to make your goals a reality.
Why Kangaroo Valley?
Kangaroo Valley, located just two hours south of Sydney, is not merely a destination but a profound experience waiting to be discovered. The valley offers a breathtaking escape with its undisturbed bushland and sweeping views of the escarpment. The secluded luxury of the newly built villas at Barranca provides the perfect setting for deep relaxation and reconnection with nature. Every detail is designed to help you disconnect from stress and immerse in the tranquility of one of Australia's most picturesque landscapes.
Here's how you can get there and why it’s ideal for our retreat:
- Accessibility: Easily accessible by a scenic two-hour drive from Sydney, the journey to Kangaroo Valley is as therapeutic as the stay, setting the stage for your retreat.
- Harmony with nature: Each villa at Barranca is architecturally designed to enhance your connection with the natural surroundings, offering privacy and luxury amidst the raw beauty of the valley.
- Perfect Retreat Setting: With options for introspection by the escarpment views or engaging in activities like bushwalking and exploring the local culture, it’s an all-encompassing backdrop that supports both personal growth and relaxation.
Kangaroo Valley is an invitation to step away from the hectic pace of life and embrace a setting that rejuvenates the spirit and inspires the mind.
And! Don't worry about getting there. If you can get yourself to Sydney airport, we'll take care of the rest with transfers to this stunning location.
Or if you're located in Canberra, Sydney or other parts of NSW and want to self drive, you are so welcome to do that too.

Who's your host?
Meet EmmaÂ
Hey there, I'm Emma “Lovelly” Lovell!
Â
Lovelly by name, Lovely by nature. I'm living a life I love and I want to help you do the same!
I’ve been running my business for 15 years and I can tell you that I have experienced all of the above and it’s why I have brought together my passion for business & travel by hosting retreats around the world.
Through my book, The Art of Bleisure, speaking, coaching, podcast and retreats, my mission is to help people to live a life they love. I believe there can be harmony between business, travel and self care and it's called bleisure. And this retreat is the perfect way to experience all of these things at once. Â
“Rest & Receive” has become my mantra and I wanted to share it with you too. I’ve learnt over the past few years that the do, do, do way of working - the hustle - is just not working for me. Whenever I take time out, rest and slow down - the universe delivers the most amazing opportunities to me. So I wanted to create a space where my gorgeous clients, network and other amazing leaders could come together and do the same.
This property, the amazing people who will join us and the time to focus on your own wellbeing will create magic! And I can't wait to share it with you.Â
Â
Emma was a fantastic host and facilitator for the retreat. Everything was taken care of! So I could relax and focus on taking what I needed from the retreat. She had a great way of creating a safe space for everyone to share openly and vulnerably.

The India retreat was life-changing. Emma is an incredible host, who makes you feel safe, welcomed and loved even in a whole new and unfamiliar surrounding.

What's the plan? Â
Over four fabulous days, we'll be taking time out from our work to disconnect from the world so we can reconnect to ourselves. There'll be plenty of time for rest and connection with the other amazing people who are attending - this is where the magic happens. But here's an idea of our itinerary created in partnership with the fabulous team at Girls Getaways.Â
Â
Day 1 - Arrival, welcome, connection!
Day 2 - Yoga, workshops, relax
Day 3 - Meet the animals, guest workshop, wind down
Day 4 - Connect with nature, hot seat, reflections
Remember this is a time for you!Â
Please give yourself the full four days to truly get the most out of the experience. That means arriving to Sydney in the morning of the 19th February so that you can meet the group and we all travel together. It also means departing Sydney (or returning home) from 6pm onwards on the fourth day.Â
I highly suggest that you also put on a proper out of office before you come away. That means no meetings, no calls and no work to be completed. It's just four days out of your entire year and the gift is truly in the space that is created when we make this time. The private and secluded accommodation in the heart of nature will also enforce a little bit of disconnecting from the outside world, to ensure that you reconnect to yourself.
Take this time to switch off, to truly be present and to really receive the opportunities that this retreat has to offer. I promise you will be grateful for this precious time.
Your thoughtful and holistic approach to resting and receiving truly shone through in every aspect of the retreat. From the delicious meals to the restorative yoga class, coaching workshops, and the branding photoshoot we felt very rejuvenated and refreshed by the end of the retreat.

Emma is a authentic, energetic and amazing host. She made sure that everyone felt welcomed and was part of the group. She helped bring everyone together despite everyone being at a different part of their entrepreneurial journey. There was so much fun and warmth, as well as time for more serious things. Amazing.
