Here is what we know about the women who ask this question: they are the ones who need this retreat the most.

You are not too busy to come. You are too busy not to.

The Renaissance is designed specifically for the woman who has been running at full capacity for so long that her creative energy, the thing that built the business in the first place, has gone quiet.

Previous retreaters have secured £50,000 contracts sipping coconuts by the pool. Others have returned home with ideas for new products and services that have added multiple zeros to their revenue. 

Five days in Sri Lanka will not just rest you. It will restore the part of you that generates everything else.

The real question is not whether you can afford the time. It is what it will cost you to keep running on empty.

You fly into Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo - served by most major airlines from all major UK airports, including direct and one-stop options. 

Full travel guidance and transfer arrangements will be provided on booking.

The investment is £3,500, which includes all accommodation, all meals during the retreat, strategy sessions, coaching, one complimentary treatment, local activities, pre and post retreat sessions, and all materials. 

Flights are not included.

Payment plans are available and you can book your space with a £500 deposit. Simply reach out and we'll make it work.

Both retreats together - Sri Lanka and Scotland - are available for £5,000, saving £1,000 on the combined investment.

From the moment you secure your space, you'll receive a comprehensive preparation questionnaire covering your business, your creative vision, and what you most want to unlock on the retreat. 

This is followed by a private 1:1 session with Mel and a group call with your fellow retreaters - so you arrive strategically prepared, creatively primed, and already connected to the women beside you.

You won't arrive as a stranger. You'll arrive already in motion.

Yes - and this is where a lot of the magic lands.

After The Renaissance you'll have a post-retreat group call to share wins, breakthroughs, and early results, followed by a private 1:1 session with Mel to anchor your strategy and ensure the momentum you built in Sri Lanka continues at home.

The retreat doesn't end when you leave the island. It continues until the work is embedded.

No - and we want to be clear about that.

The Renaissance is a strategic business retreat set in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Luxurious self-care, deep rest, and genuine restoration - including one complimentary massage therapy or wellness treatment - are woven through every day, because that is the environment in which real thinking, real breakthroughs, and real strategy happen.

There is no prescribed wellness programme, no mandatory morning yoga, no green juice schedule. What there is: warm ocean, extraordinary food, strategic sessions with Mel, local Sri Lankan experiences, and the particular magic that happens when high-achieving women finally, completely, exhale.

You will be deeply nourished. You will not be prescribed.

Eight maximum. Non-negotiable.

Sri Lanka in a group of eight feels like a private experience. Everyone is known. 

Every conversation goes deep. Every strategy session is personal. 

The intimacy is the point - and it will not be compromised.

Most women arrive alone. Almost none leave that way.

The pre-retreat group call means you'll already know your fellow retreaters before you land - familiar faces, warm energy, a group already beginning to form. The women who come to The Renaissance are at a particular moment - ready to shed what no longer fits, ready to create what comes next, ready to be surrounded by others doing the same.

Mel holds the space with care and intention. The connections formed in Sri Lanka tend to be the kind that don't fade when the tan does.

If you are unable to attend, your space can be transferred to the next available retreat, provided the request is made outside the 8-week window before the retreat start date.

Transfers within the 8-week window cannot be accommodated. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance for international travel.

Full packing guidance will be sent on booking. For the west coast of Sri Lanka in October - think light linens, swimwear, something beautiful for evening dinners, and a journal. You will want to write things down.
