Emma Lovell 00: Do you want to live a life of freedom and adventure? Are you wanting more than the daily grind? Me too. Welcome to the Emma Lovell show, a place where we talk about living a life you love now, I'm your host, Emma Lovell, and my number one value is freedom. I've spent the last 14 years running a business and traveling the world. And now I take my husband and toddler along for the adventure to it's possible and I know you can create a life doing what you truly love as well. This podcast will inspire, motivate and encourage you to go after your dreams to create a life you love until you get now don't wait for a time and or someday in the future. I'll be sharing episodes weekly about how I harmonize business travel and self care. I'll also bring on incredible guests to share their journeys, wins the challenges and how they're creating a life they love. Let's jump in and get dreaming. This is a space for you to manifest a life you love. I would like to acknowledge and recognize Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first peoples of this place now known as Australia. I am grateful for the continuing care of the land waterways and skies where I work live. Listen, learn and play. From here on you can bear country and from wherever you are listening, I pay my respects to the elders past and present. Lovely ones, I am so excited to today be announcing the next rest and receive retreat. Yes, I have gone in oops, I've done it again. I am launching a another retreat. It is in northern New South Wales this time. So between Gold Coast where I live in Byron Bay, and I'm so excited to be running this one so close to home in the middle of the year here in Australia. So a lot of people have seen that I am running a retreat in Sri Lanka. I ran one in India last year. But I've decided to put on another one. And actually this one has been a long time coming 18 months I've been looking at this venue I wanted to run it last year and the way that the year went, it didn't get to happen. So I'm so excited to be hosting at the incredible Stone Hill estate, which is in this northern New South Wales region. So it's actually the tweed coast is what the technical region is called. Hi, Carmen. And the Northern Rivers is what people know it is. So it's sort of a little pocket. Not as popular as some of the more well known ones. Like you know, we know Byron and Byron Bay, we might know Ballena. Pottsville. Kingscliff is a popular holiday destination. So it's sort of around there. And that's where my next retreat is going to be. Hello, everyone. I'm talking today about the rest and receive retreat. Now, do we think fun today I'm recording this live, and also recording on my laptop as a podcast episode. So we'll see how this goes. Doing the two at once and to whether I use them both. But anyway, what I wanted to do is just to share a little bit more about the restaurant receipt, retreat, answer any questions you might have from here, and just talk a little bit more about it. So this one I'm having a special guest come along. If she jumps online, I'll ask her to join in. But her name is Emma Walkinshaw. And Emma is based on the Gold Coast as well. She is a transformative coach and a yoga instructor. She used to own her own yoga studio and she's actually in India right now. She's just finished hosting her first international retreat. One that I supported her as a coach for I am a retreat coach as well as a retreat host. So I helped her put together that retreat with my travel partner in India. I have a travel partner Indus bound. So we put that retreat program together. She hosted that with the fabulous Louise, a yogi Lu. And they they took 13 Women on a sold out retreat through India, they just had the best time I'm smiling so much because it's so nice that they have had such the most wonderful time. And so Hi, Tony. Hi. I have Yeah, decided to bring Emma along for this one. So I will be hosting most of the workshops predominantly of the workshops that Emma will be presenting her incredible body love acceptance workshop, which I think we can all use. I can speak to myself sometimes we're not very kind to ourselves. So teaching us about loving our bodies, whatever stage age shape we're at. And also, we'll be moving our bodies every morning with yoga optional, but there'll be yoga every morning run by Emma, and this beautiful, dreamy venue that you can look out over the hinterland. So the Stone Hill estate is set on these rolling hills. It's beautifully set into the hills so that you have views from everywhere. It's got a huge wraparound, I'm looking at the pictures on the website at the moment, it's got a huge wraparound balcony. So many of the rooms have their own views as well. We have two outdoor settings for eating, we have a huge lounge room, we've got a gorgeous big open plan kitchen with inside dining room as well. It can, then you can sleep many people, but we're I've opened up 12 spots. So we have 12 spots. It's very limited. We've got two master bedrooms. So private rooms, we've got another three that can be have twins, twin share, so you know six people in there, we can have another four to six, we'll see how things go in a shared bunk room as well, which is a beautiful big open space. Hi, Renee, lovely to see you talking about my next retreat. And so my retreats are called rest and receive. And I had to practice that myself today. Because I believe that when you take a rest when you take a space when you take some time out, that's the time when the good stuff comes in. And if we don't create space, we don't allow the rest. Then the universe doesn't have any space to give us what we're asking for if you don't allow it to come in. If you're always busy, busy, busy on to the next thing you can't even have the time to enjoy or to see what you've created. And so that's what restaurant receives about. And the mantra came from one of my beautiful friends, clients, colleagues, Liz Ellis and Liz actually came on my India retrieve their lives, taught me this restaurant received one night I was so stressed and tired and had so many things to do. And I said I don't know what to do next. And she said I think you need to go to bed. So I actually listened and I went to bed. And in the morning I woke up to three amazing opportunities in my inbox, including a new client speaking opportunity and the invite to be on a podcast and I was like, wow, even today, I went down to the pool. And I jokingly said, I came back up for the pool, had a rest and came up. And there were easter eggs waiting for me that my husband had brought home. So when you rest you receive, it can be that simple. It can be more complicated than that as well if you want it to be, but it doesn't have to be complicated. We need rest, we need rejuvenation. And so that's what I created the restaurant receive about, we go to this beautiful place and the whole retreat, we're not going outside, you come to the venue. It's three nights, I've made it three nights now. Three nights, you come to this beautiful state, we become together. I'm calling in amazing people. It's open to women and men and you are welcome to come and stay at this beautiful property. To open yourself up to opportunities. We have lots of space to relax and rest. We've got some yoga each morning. We've got some workshops each day, got all the meals included and all the meals. It's fully catered and hosted at the venue so that you get to really, really just be in the space. If you do arrive early and I've got it in the FAQs. On the first day, I think we're all gonna go to the Crystal Palace in the morning. So people want to arrive earlier and go to the crystal Castle sorry, which is a place it's a beautiful gardens for crystals. So it really great energy class, which is just about 30 minutes away from the venue. So if anyone wants to meet there, we can do that. Then we'll head to our venue for check in as soon as we're allowed to check in Hello, Hola. WAPA got some wonderful people coming on today. And then on the last day, we have the option to check out at 11 but if people want to kick on and stay around, there's the fabulous husk distillery which I have been to so they do gin predominantly but they do other things beautiful grounds amazing meals. So we're gonna go and have some lunch there after the retreat finishes to just say our final farewells if people want to do that or they can stay on in the region. But yeah, I'm just gonna talk about what's included please do comment with questions if you have them. I do think that the humbly opinion that the sales page is pretty comprehensive so if you need more information, it's Emma lovell.au forward slash rest receive New South Wales might tuck that in while you're all here. If you're watching back as well, please comment with any questions. I'm always happy to jump on a call as well. So it's rest receive New South Wales that's hosted in New South Wales is one northern New South Wales. So yeah, resting, when you rescue recovery, regenerate your and reinvigorate and restore and receive means being open and welcoming new opportunities. And that's what this is gonna do. The timing of it's really great, I think as well I've planned it in the middle of the year, and the second half of the year. So in the financial year is done, what a great reward for finishing the end of the financial year. Giving yourself that gift of diet, made it through this first half, celebrating any wins that have come up and then resetting your goals for the next financial year, but also for the next half of the calendar year. So if you operating calendar years or financial years, I think it's a great time. I've also done it outside of school holidays. So for any parents out there, I have specifically looked at this, please tell me if I'm wrong, but I planned it. So that was outside of school holidays. So you have the time with the kids. You have time with the family. And then you make some time for yourself. That's what's really important. That's what restaurant receipt is about is a video on there of the beautiful venue. There's amazing photos. One of the things I love about this venue is there's actually a wellness area. So I'll talk about the inclusions but there's a wellness area so what we have included is three nights accommodation at the fabulous Stone Hill estate, which is just stunning located in the on the tweed coast. In these rolling hills in the northern New South Wales area. You have an experienced business and travel coach as your host, that's me and a level I have hosted now five retreats plus my retreat days, and I am a retreat coach, I help people to host retreats. And I have traveled the world for solo for 14 years, but I'm traveling all my life. And I've been running my business for 14 years while traveling for 18 years running my business for 15 Come September so I have some experience and I will love to host you. I'm also a NLP certified coach so I can help hold space for you. All your delicious meals are included. We have beautiful caterers coming in. So nourishing beautiful food healthy food in this beautiful area also have lots of snacks. So you catered for that we'll have four workshops. So we'll have a workshop. Each day, the first day we arrive each morning, mid morning, and then we'll have a final workshop to close it out just to do our farewells and set the right intention to go home with. We'll have morning daily yoga with the fabulous Emma wall console, which I'm excited about. She's in beautiful instructor and holds the most wonderful space. So she'll be doing that, as well as she'll be doing a guest workshop on body love acceptance. So that's all about accepting and loving ourselves and our bodies. And her true passion is guiding women to elevate their self awareness and self confidence. So if that's something that you need, and yes, that's about women, but if we have men there, too, everybody needs body love. So everyone needs to extend and love themselves and love themselves and images tends to work more with women. So we also have access to their well being and recovery space, which was like just such a selling point for me. So this is dedicated area, it just is so beautiful. And it's set in gardens, and they have a hot tub, a sauna, traditional sauna, and ice baths. So you can go through that process. It's an amazing thing for your regulatory system. I think you're gonna love it. You get a strategic call, which is valued at 495. There was asked to do a CT right now, you get a 60 minute call with me. So a strategic coaching call. And I can't wait to talk to you and to support you with whatever you need. And we do that ahead of the retreat so we can really get clear on what goals you have and what you want to set this your intention for the retreat. Of course, you're going to meet amazing people I think these retreats already have. I've already had two people say yes. We only launched yesterday. Well sent to my email list yesterday. I've only announced that on socials today. And that's one of the best things I see on these retreats is the connections and the relationships that are built between the people who were attending and I love to see that so I can't wait to see who comes and how they connect. Beautiful group in India as well and I've got the most wonderful group going to see Anchor already. So that's just my gift. It's getting to spend time with the most wonderful people and getting to know you over the course of the time. And then we have world class photographer, the amazing Jane, one who I will definitely do a live with who is going to come hadn't put her in the right marketing materials, it's been a little sneaky one there. So we'll definitely share more about her. So if you're watching this, you're going to or listening to this, you're going to hear that Jade is my business bestie, my super collaborator, and she came to India with me and captured the most incredible content. So we can have all these amazing photos of our experience videos of our experience. And there's also the opportunity to book a private photo shoot with Jade while she's there. So that's a huge bonus during this incredible setting, why not make the most of it. And you can have your own private Mini or full personal branding shoot while you're there, which we arranged at a time that suits you both around the workshops and everything. But that's a bonus of having a incredible content creator there. And if she's, if she's feeling like it, she might even share with us and I'm sure she will, some tips and tricks on making your own content. And of course, they'll be gifts will be some little cheeky gifts. So you'll get some gifts. But the best thing is that there's plenty of time and space, to rest, to reconnect and to create. So whatever you choose, that's what our retreats about, like you can feel inspired. You want to create something you want to do something, go for it. There'll be place space and time for you to do

16: 39

16: what someone tells you until you do the things that you need to do and absolutely stand there and support you 100% It is no doubt in my mind that it is Miss Emma Lovell. Anyone that has in in the corner does

16: 51

16: better. She'll be your biggest cheerleader, whatever she touches in creates is just magical.

16: 58

16: She thinks about me, she is extremely generous with her knowledge and expertise. And the second thing is that she will hold you accountable long after your impersonal experience, which is correct. If you're not working with them. What the hell are you doing?

Emma Lovell 17: 15

Emma Lovell 17: What else do I need to tell you? What are you gonna get out of it, you're gonna get some clarity, get massive clarity actually on your direction moving forward, you're going to build connections with amazing people and reconnect with yourself, you're going to build your confidence through the people that who are going to help you lift up through me giving you the support and the coaching. And you're also going to get rest, get some time to chill out. And I know that you're also going to receive some incredible opportunities because when you invest in yourself, you get rewarded. And I know that everybody has received their own different type of experience. I can't tell you exactly what you're gonna get. But I know that the people who have come have gone on to write books, gone on to do more speaking gigs started new businesses made new business partnerships in the people that they've connected with got new clients, one group of ladies I think they got six of six or seven clients out of my fridge feet. Amazing connections might on that one. You might find a new friend. You can also I've had people receive more travel opportunities because they've been able to open their mind up to more travel and taking that leap to go and leave their children or their family or their work for a few days allowed them to realize that they could actually do what I do which is increase your leisure and combine your business and leisure. So you're doing something that's that's for business, but you're also including leisure. That's what a retreat is. It's the ultimate pleasure. It's a business is a business investment. And yes, talk to your accountant, it's a tax deductible expense. So this is for your personal development. So whether you're in business or in corporate is a as a personal development is a investable investing thing. But do talk to your tax accountant and a bookkeeper about that. When you invest in yourself, you are rewarded and you are you able to receive more opportunities. If you're around the key you should jump on let me know give me a wave. You're welcome to join Nikki is going to be coming to Sri Lanka with me in November which I'm so excited about on the next international restaurant receive and she's also going to be coming to my melden one day retreat on retreat days to learn all about running retreats so maybe you'll be seeing something coming from her soon. Let's get Nikki on to be a fun little cameo

19: 59

19: just walked in from the shops and love these Imran now I'm now I'm on your live.

Emma Lovell 20: 05

Emma Lovell 20: That's that's what we love. So yes, I'm just talking all about as you know, I just announced yesterday the next rest and receive retreat, which is going to be in northern New South Wales and Hello, ed ed come to Australia Come Come over.

20: 22

20: Yeah, it's gonna be a good one.

Emma Lovell 20: 25

Emma Lovell 20: So tell me you go on retreats yourself, I even just listened to one of your podcasts, why do you live retreats? Look, I

20: 32

20: think just to, to really do a deep dive to carve out some time for yourself, definitely to connect with other people who are maybe a little ahead of you with what they're doing or have a different perspective. You know, like, I watched Ed, for instance, from super simple marketing and everything he does. And it's like, I don't know how to do a lot of that stuff, you know, and so to have the chance to really sit down with some different people and pick their brains, and they pick your brains. And I just think he got home. So super inspired. And it's just, it's just lovely. And to me, and I've talked to you about this a lot, Emma. It's like a tax deductible holiday, in a way. But it's a holiday where you're still moving forward with your business. And how many of us anyway, go on holiday, and we're making little notes and kind of internally brainstorming things. And we, as small business owners, we very seldom completely switch off. Let's be honest. So to me, it's like the ideal holiday really, you just get to go away. You get to claim it on tax, and it's lovely. Yeah, we see this aid going tax deductible holidays. We love it, don't we? A great food great company. It's just so, so delightful. And if you're a busy parent, like some time actually, just to kind of focus on yourself. It's good for the soul. And it's good for business.

Emma Lovell 21: 56

Emma Lovell 21: I think so. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's such a gift in you know, I used to avoid a lot of the travel I did early on was, you know, adventurous travel and like going to a city and figuring it all out and thinking, Where would I go? And what do I do? I'm so all about now, package tour, or an itinerary where somebody's worked it out. Like I've worked it all out for you. I've planned your food, I plan the location, I tell you how to get there and tell you what to do what time to be there. You will literally show up. even tell you what to pack. I know. And then you get to it's the ultimate receiving it's like, what I don't have to like, I mean, you can muck in in the kitchen in the morning with breakfast. That's the only time I'm like, Yeah, I'll help out if you want. Other than that. No, don't don't

22: 43

22: just a dream come true. As far as I'm concerned. I know some people love organizing everything on the holidays, but I'm busy. And I actually don't like doing that. I would much rather you do it for me. And then I can just go and relax. But it's

Emma Lovell 22: 58

Emma Lovell 22: a cure patient experience, isn't it? As well, we see. I think the thing that I like about retreats too. And I was talking to Tina towers today is gonna be my podcast about it is like, sometimes you see these amazing places, you know, and you think how do people get there? Like how do people find those places. And often they are like, kind of big homes or big destinations that you like, you wouldn't necessarily be able to get there yourself. But when hosting an event or a conference or retreat, or you might not pay that much even like I'm not going to pay to rent that out for the night. But if somebody but if everyone's going to organize all of that and get a great group of people and bring them all together, oh yeah, I'll join in

23: 40

23: to Epson lately. And I think for somebody like yourself, we How many times have you been to India for example, like 30 times. So you know it like the back of your hand at Sofia, Sri Lanka. So, you know, the bits to maybe avoid, you know, the must sees you, you just you've got it all going on with those places. So, to me, it's a no brainer, but it's, it's it's

Emma Lovell 24: 08

Emma Lovell 24: fun. It's exciting, because it's, you know, it gives my last few years have been so far away. And I know that for some people that's not totally achievable. No, I'm so excited. Because this one's like 50 minutes from my home. And so this is a region that I'm not explored to and yeah, we're all quite familiar with the Gold Coast. We're all quite familiar with Byron Bay and, and those sorts of spots, but there's so many treasures and gems that are sort of, you know, in that region.

24: 38

24: So this one that's in northern New South Wales, what what are you going to be doing on that retreat? So

Emma Lovell 24: 45

Emma Lovell 24: this is really what I wanted. What I've realized over the last few retreats I've had, I really want to be in a space and for me retreats are about holding space, about creating space for yourself, and about finding places for the good Energy. And this, this region between Queensland and New South Wales is something really energetically beautiful about it really, which is why people love Byron Bay and they do go out there and some real restful chilled out energy it really like I don't know if there is actually like a geometric kind of geometric not to mention geographic barometric pressure low or something like that might be a low that actually brings you sort of chilled out, it does get a lot of rainfall. So that would make sense. Like there's actually a natural force there that makes you chill. I mean, then it's a beautiful home, I had seen this home and I thought that's that's the place for me is behind. I wanted us all to be together. Like I've done retreats in hotels, and I it's nice for people to have their own space and all that stuff. But there's also something special about bringing everyone together, there's enough space to have your space. But there's also really about communal spaces that you can come together and opt in opt out sort of thing. So the workshops are kind of almost mandatory, because that's that's doing the work. Yeah, but then it's like yoga, optional. Sona, optional, swimming, optional, walking optional. Like there's lots of time built in. And that's why we don't leave the space either. Because if you go away, you do an activity come back, there's a lot of logistics sicom for three days, I'm asking you to switch off, come into the space, three days be together and then go back out into the world.

26: 34

26: I love it. And I'm loving what you're saying. Because I 100% know, there'll be some introverts like myself, who will watch this slide back later go, I kind of would love to do it. But I'm really worried about just, I'll be exhausted because we know how hard it is introverts to be on all the time. Like for three days, I would be exhausted too. I really need to have some time to myself. As to you probably am I know. Yeah.

Emma Lovell 27: 05

Emma Lovell 27: Yeah, you need to shut off. And that's what I don't like about conferences, and about some retreats itineraries and programs that I've seen, they're too jam packed with stuff. Don't ever have the time to step away. And to integrate or to think about what, you know. No, no, I'm not an introvert. I have I'm an extrovert with introvert to energy or something like that I'm in. Yeah, and introversion to like, I think we all need time and space to ourselves. But we need the chance to decompress. And, you know, I do I take my time away, because even as the host, I'm holding a lot of space. So I want to have a room where I can shut the door. And you know, I need that just as much so that I can come and be Emma. But also well, you know that as a coach and a trainer to Nikki like you're not all like rah rah rah working out and not that I'm like, somebody at times table needs some love. Yeah, absolutely. That's

28: 05

28: right. Why you have to be a chameleon and you adapt to what people need. Absolutely. So on the resort, we're sorry, on the retreat in New South Wales. What sort of things will people learn about

Emma Lovell 28: 19

Emma Lovell 28: the really like, the things one of the things we're having a guest presenter, which is Emma Walkinshaw? So we're gonna learn about body love, acceptance. But something else? Yeah, so accepting ourselves. And I even sent Nikki a message yesterday about this about not being very kind to myself and saying, not very kind things. And I think that's, that's something that we all deal with. It's being kind to ourselves. And the whole retreat is about learning to receive and learning to give gifts to yourself. So like one session is literally we're just going to be talking about what are the rewards? What's the goal? What's the reward? What what's the, you know, we set this goal, but then when you set a new goal setting, how are you going to stop and make time and space, and this retreat might be your reward, that's why I've set it an end of financial year, so that it's middle of the year, this can be your reward to look forward to in the middle of the year. You know, it's not just on goal setting. It's that accountability, and it's that recognition of the journey. So it's really the time to kind of go, what's been done, what have I achieved? Where am I at? Where am I going? And how am I going to keep celebrating and keep you encouraged, encouraging and motivating, inspiring myself to, to go through and to keep doing that? And that's what the space allows?

29: 46

29: Yep. Sounds fantastic. And for those of us who are watching us live from Melbourne, so we've got this northern New South Wales retreat and when is that one Emma?

Emma Lovell 29: 57

Emma Lovell 29: It's end of June. July 24, to the 27th of July. So which again for our southerners is perfect because in my humble opinion, end of July, August is the best time in this region is the perfect weather. It's in the mid 20s. So let's there's a pool, you'll still be able to use the pool like the days are generally quite clear. We might get some rain but actually it's kind of a drier like we're being more Tropics here. So it's almost like the drier time. The summer is the dry time and the sorry, the winter is the dry time the summer is the wet time because we just close to the tropics area. So it's actually the perfect weather and so yes, for the New South Wales, Tasmanians, anyone on the southern end of Australia, it's going to be a nice time. And if there were any foreigners who were to come, it's a beautiful time to visit Australia, especially the get from Queensland up. It's a beautiful, beautiful time.

30: 57

30: Beautiful. So I've got this cheat. And then we've also got the mayor cheat as well, which is here

Emma Lovell 31: 03

Emma Lovell 31: in Melbourne. I do I do and now we might we might jump onto that on another one. I need you to come and talk to me live again because I'm actually going to see how I go Nikki, but this one I'm doing a jewel recording so I'm going to try and stick this on the podcast so I said you're gonna be a bonus guest on the podcast. Yeah.

31: 29

31: Prepare the font. No, no.

Emma Lovell 31: 31

Emma Lovell 31: Fine, fun. I love it. And it's lovely to hear these questions because when you're talking into the abyss and I would love people to keep you know, Thank you Ed for joining in and commenting because I know what the retreats about and I know what it is and I've got a whole page here that I couldn't read out to you but you know the things that I think you need to know sometimes people are like, What should I pack and I'm like, oh, that the thing holding you back? I don't know. I don't know what what do people want to know what are we gonna eat? You know, like, I don't know. Yes, but the or do I get in my own room that's a good show.

32: 05

32: You know, for a lot of people they you know, we've never done a retreat before and we've ever done one of your retreats before. And it that is a really great question like what do I wear or that is it casual as a khaki pants or is it a little bit more dressy or is it a Camilla caftan and you know what you're gonna wear it can do but t shirts I'm actually quite casual today but I tend to over dress but then I don't want to be the one idiot overdressed and everyone else is in casual wearing their you know slippers or Anke boots so what that's a good question. So

Emma Lovell 32: 42

Emma Lovell 32: what do people wear? I say resort wear so yeah like if you love or cruise you know if you're going on a cruise like someone said Mr. Levels fashion is like cruise chic. Like I'm I'm always ready for cruise so I feel like it was like it's actually a smart genre cruise or resort like so. clothing that you might wear longer pants or like more natural fibers. You always bring in you do bring a jacket in case it gets cooler in the evening. You bring out some active wear because we might do go because you might do Go go You might do your walking you always bring your swimmers because there's a pool is pulling. Bring your swimmers and you have the sauna and spa and all those things. And then if you feel comfortable in you know, a dress or in pants like so I had a lady who was like I don't have a flowy dress. I'm like floaty dress and she's like, You have floaty dresses. I was like because I live in Queensland. Yeah, we were. But you don't you don't have to if you're more comfortable in a set of pajamas sets are all very popular at the moment, or tracky Dacks The reason people used to as well I did have a photoshoot as included. Whereas now I have a photographer come with the option to do a private shoot. So of course you are thinking you're going to do a private shoot, you're going to need to bring a couple of outfits for your shoot. But that is optional so that's communication right okay.

34: 13

34: Honestly you know I'm nothing if you're going to do is to to be in a gorgeous house and you might even be on the retreat and kind of in your mind thinking oh, I can actually do a shoot there by the pool or you know, and you can start getting your own creative mind fired up. Is it Jade, Jade.

Emma Lovell 34: 35

Emma Lovell 34: Jade is coming there. She's suddenly Melbourne. She's kind of Sri Lanka, basically, wherever I can drag her along. I will not a heart. It's not a hard sell. But I do try and bring Jade along, but she'll be capturing content for me. Yeah, so then people were inadvertently in the content, but you have the ability to book a private shoot as well. So we made that separate just because of Learn from some of the timings as well. If we try to include a photoshoot for everyone, it takes a lot of time. It's very stressful. So it was like, maybe it's better to do it separately. Others, like me love it, and may as well make the most of it. So it's an optional thing that's arranged with Jade. And these are the sorts of things the packing list, the photoshoot, those sorts of things I like once, either in, we can chat like this. There's information on the page, or once people sign on, then I will send all this information as you know, Nikki, once you've signed on, you start to receive those information. So yeah, that's

35: 39

35: very, very well, there's no, there's no mystery. And I think the other great thing, Mrs. You're so easy to get hold off, you know, I can text you or miss my question straightaway. Here we are, on a lot like this.

Emma Lovell 35: 53

Emma Lovell 35: So the WhatsApp group, so that's another great thing. And you know, the group from say, it's over a year ago, we had a retreat in February last year, they're still connected, you know, we still celebrate our wins from time to time. And, you know, I always say to people, please try and use the group just just more so one you can get to know people, but to the question you have, which might seem silly is probably what somebody else is thinking that that's going to be answering seven emails, which fine, I'm happy to answer your email. But like, I'd rather help everyone at once. And it reminds me that oh, my gosh, that something that's so you, of course you were resolve it like, yeah, and obvious. So I might even add that to the page. What do you want? Yeah. Oh, thank you so much. Well, I'll let you go with your day. But thank you for joining on. I'm so excited to have you in Sri Lanka, I love you love retreats. And we will do another live to talk about, you know, the retreat day and about just the benefit of retreats. Because you and I are talking about doing that's the other thing people can do their own like, I want you to come on mine, because I've organized an amazing program. But you know, once you do know what you want from it, Nikki and I are going to do 100% Just I mean, just 102 of us sorry, you're not invited

37: 20

37: to podcast material. Yeah, I cannot wait for that. That's going to be super fun. So

Emma Lovell 37: 26

Emma Lovell 37: you know, I think hopefully it inspires you know, I had a client come to India, and now she's running her own retreat. Like, I think I hope that it inspires people to go on a new path. And that's, that's the receiving too, you don't, I can't tell you what you're gonna get out of it. Exactly. But I can tell you what's possible. And I can hold a space for you to explore that.

37: 49

37: That's right. And I think for anyone watching who loves travel, like obviously, both you and I are very passionate about traveling. Again, if you can think of a way that you can incorporate your love of traveling, and your contagious love of travel and adventure into what you offer your clients and take them along for the ride as well. Like I know for myself as a as a trainer. And I know many personal trainers and yoga instructors, of course, this is what we do. Well, we build communities. And often when you run a business, it's like people want more. It's like, I love you. Now I want to buy your book, and I want to do this with you. And I want to go on retreat with you. Yeah, it's and that's a beautiful thing. So I'm really excited. I know we haven't talked about today, but I'm really excited about coming to May day retreat, which is about how to run retreats. And then you know, I'm gonna go to Sri Lanka as your guest, but I certainly think in the future, I would love to run my own retreat as well. And, you know, bring my gorgeous clients away with me to somewhere somewhere fun and exciting.

Emma Lovell 38: 55

Emma Lovell 38: Just Oh, and you would have such a you're obviously suited to it. Oh three in my head, like it's done Nikki like it's,

39: 06

39: I know, the vision is done. That's it and as you were talking like it's just me it's it's learning how to do it and then it's deciding where we go and just organizing it

Emma Lovell 39: 17

Emma Lovell 39: and once the intention is there and that's what restaurant receive the intention is become so strong for me and it's so clear that I can talk you know, I just can come from my heart with it you know, I can just share from my heart with it once you are clear on them it's the how the house falls into place if the wires there the wires it's so great. The How will happen and I just I can't wait to see you with other guests and just your energy and you know thing with my guests with your energy and your you know, activeness and I just think everyone brings their own value to the retreat. So I just get so excited about I don't fully know What's gonna happen because I don't know who's coming yet and I just love each additional flavor. We're getting put into the mix.

40: 09
