Reconnect + Realign Retreat
for Creative Entrepreneurs
16th – 19th November 2026
Norfolk Broads
Are you a business owner in the creative or wedding industry feeling burnt out and in need of time to reconnect to your vision and realign your goals?
What if you could step away from your everyday life to realign your vision, for your business AND yourself?
I invite you to join me at Reconnect + Realign, a transformational 2-day (3 night) retreat designed to help you escape the constant demands of running a creative business. Arrive on your own, but leave connected to a small group of like-minded entrepreneurs who truly understand the joys and challenges of the creative sector.
This retreat is for driven women committed to growing their wedding or creative business without sacrificing their time or wellbeing. You’ll focus on business growth, time management, and mindfulness —all while embracing taking some to reset after a busy year.
I attended Bernadette’s very first retreat last November, having worked with her previously. I needed time to switch off completely from the outside world — no social media, no distractions — and allow myself the time for a clearer head space.
The retreat struck the perfect balance between business focus and personal wellness. Alongside Bernadette’s insightful coaching, we had a evening yoga session, walks through the countryside, and even tree hugging — don’t knock it before you try it! There was also time to ourselves to reflect and simply be. Every activity felt intentional and nurturing, and having a wonderful private chef throughout made the experience feel truly cared for.
I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and clearer – both in my business and personally. Bernadette created something memorable, and I’m excited to see how her retreats grow from here.
THIS RETREAT IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO:
Step away from the everyday hustle and embrace your “quiet power”
Gain clarity on your next steps for business growth
Leave with a clear action plan to move forward without burning out
Connect with other wedding and creative business owners
BE SELFISH and think about just you and your own growth
Make no mistake, this is NOT networking – it’s REAL deep connections with fellow creative entrepreneurs
Hi I’m Bernadette
I am a wedding & creative business growth consultant with a passion for helping entrepreneurs master time management, productivity, and customer experience — the key pillars of sustainable business growth. My focus is on helping you work smarter, streamline your processes, and create an exceptional client journey, so you can scale your business without burnout.
This will be my second retreat, following the success of our inaugural experience, and it builds on decades of hands-on industry leadership. I spent 19 years as a wedding planner and lead a national industry body for the wedding sector for nearly two decades. Since 2004, I’ve coached and trained wedding and creative business owners to break through growth ceilings and build businesses aligned with their vision and values.
My approach is a blend of coaching and consulting—offering strategic, practical solutions while also helping you uncover and overcome limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. I work with a diverse range of passionate creative entrepreneurs, including wedding planners, florists, cake designers, hairstylists, photographers, PR consultants, stylists, musicians, chefs, coaches, and tutors.
I go beyond the pretty of your business and into tailored strategy, designing a custom roadmap for growth that brings not just success, but also clarity, joy and freedom.
I recently attended Bernadette’s Reconnect and Realign retreat and it was brilliant. Bernadette had created a schedule that balanced, mindset and strategy – her strong point. There was plenty of time to mastermind with other attendees and time to focus on your own business and what steps you need to take next.
If you work in a creative industry and want a coach to help you to take your business to the next level, Bernadette is the one.
By aligning your business with your life, we create a structure that allows you to thrive — not just survive.
At Reconnect + Realign, I’ll guide you in stepping back, resetting your mindset, and making powerful shifts that will set you up for long-term success.

This was the most amazing couple of days. So pleased that Bernadette has extended to 3 days this year. I have known Bernadette for well over 10yrs, initially as a member of UKAWP and have attended one of her one day events several years ago.
I have always felt incredibly supported by her, which is why I immediately booked this retreat last year. I wasn’t disappointed. The food was delicious, just perfect. The chef was so attentive to my unusual allergies. Along with the yoga, massage, a walk, the hot tub (yes we did brave it in November!) I really felt that retreat was about me as well as my business.
I left feeling inspired, rejuvenated with tasks for the forthcoming year and looking forward to attending the retreat in 2026
You deserve the opportunity to spend some time working on YOU and YOUR BUSINESS

I attended Bernadettes Reconnect and Realign Retreat in November and it was the perfect blend of rest and focus, I came away reenergised both personally and professionally, the time and workshops gave me the space to focus on the business I am building, what is serving me and what is not and how to create a space that brings me joy in my work. I made some great connections with others on the retreat and the space felt safe to be able to open up and explore ideas within running my companies. Alongside the focused workshops Bernadette had planned we had a wonderful chef who cooked both delicious and nutrition food an evening of Yoga and a massage. It was the ideal blend of relaxation and rest and exactly as she described a chance to realign myself with my business and reset myself ahead of a new year.

RETREAT LOCATION
Our location for the retreat is Loddon, Norfolk, a small town east of England located on the river Chet. We will be staying at Stubbs House a 10 bedroom country manor set in an acre of enclosed gardens and surrounded by countryside. We have exclusive use ensuring complete privacy to truly unwind.
Stubbs House has 10 bedrooms with a mix of en-suites and shared bathrooms. No rooms are confirmed until payment is received. Once the room type has sold out the link will no longer work.
You have the choice of private en-suite rooms / private super king rooms with shared bathroom and twins (double occupancy) sharing a bathroom.
Micro Workshops
Throughout the 2 days we will have a number of micro relaxed workshops where you can lounge on the sofas in comfort. The theme is tailored to scaling your business in a way that brings you joy and is aligned with your personal long term vision.
I strongly believe our business should help us craft a life that helps us create balance.
So working in your zone of genius, stopping procrastination, discovering time management systems, delegating, creating a vision for the future. We will also look at ways marketing is changing in 2027 and how this affects you.
WELL BEING
This retreat is not just for your business but for your mind and body as well.
Every attendee will benefit from a lava massage to help them relax their body. The Lava Shells owe their magic to a mix of minerals including dried sea kelp, dead seasalt, algae and essential oils.
In addition on the first night you will experience a nighttime yoga session to help you experience a rejuvenating sleep after your first day. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced yogi or beginner, everyone can take part. This was a huge highlight in 2025!
Nature
Throughout the 2 days we will have at least 1 walk a day exploring the grounds and surrounding area. During these walks we can take a chance to breath in the Norfolk air and get to know each other. On one of these walks we will be journaling outside (weather permitting).
There is a lot of research that shows walking is good for not only our physical health but mental well being as well.
FREETIME
You can take as much or as little free time as you wish.
Use this to explore the house, relax in the hot tubs or to have 1:1 chats with fellow attendees or me.
DELICIOUS FOOD
I have hired a private chef who specialises in creating healthy and delicious food for retreats.
Our chef was a highlight in 2025 with the nourishing food she created for us. All dietary requirements will be catered for.
And the best bit? It’s all cleared up for us too!
I want to start by being completely honest, before this experience, I had never been on a retreat and truly had no idea what to expect. I am so grateful that I invested in myself and took the opportunity to join Bernadette and the other wonderful retreat attendees. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully considered.
Bernadette’s workshops were perfectly aligned with the calming, supportive vibe of the retreat. It took me a little time to fully unwind, but when I did, the shift was incredible. I felt lighter, my brain fog lifted, and I felt my spark slowly return.
The yoga session and massage were an absolute highlight such a treat and exactly what every busy, working woman needs. Those moments of stillness and care made such a difference.
What truly made this retreat so special, though, was Bernadette herself. Her care, passion, and genuine desire to support every attendee was clear throughout. She made time for everyone, creating a safe, nurturing space where we all felt seen, supported, and valued.
I’ve come away from the retreat feeling deeply connected to some truly wonderful women who I now call friends. We shared stories, supported one another, and laughed together connections I will treasure.
I 100% recommend attending one of Bernadette’s retreats. It is an essential experience for any busy working woman, and I know without a doubt that I will be attending again
QUESTIONS
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING?
I am keeping the group small so those attending can build true connections with one another. This also allows me 1:1 time with anyone that needs additional support. The absolute maximum I will have attending is 8.
CAN I SHARE A ROOM WITH A FRIEND?
Of course! Just let me know and I’ll ensure you are in a room together. Additionally if you wish to share one of the private superking en-suites let me know as I will work on a special rate, but as there are only 4 available once they are gone they are gone.
HOW PHYSICAL WILL THE WALK BE?
The walk with be leisurely and for all abilities. Additionally it is optional albeit I’d love you to join in experiencing the Norfolk nature.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Clothes you are comfortable in but I ask everyone to dress up for dinner especially on the second night. You may also wish to bring your costume if braving the hot tubs and comfy clothes for the yoga sessions.
I AM PREGNANT, WILL THIS AFFECT MY ATTENDANCE?
Absolutely not! I will ensure the chef knows so any food is 100% safe for you, likewise the masseuse and yoga teacher will be informed so they can ensure the best experience and comfort for you.
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
You will have 14 days after paying and registering to “change your mind”. After this time the deposit is non-refundable unless you manage to resell your place.
IS THIS BUSINESS OR A HOLIDAY?
We might be relaxing and having fun, but make no mistake this is business and tax deductible!
WHAT MEALS ARE INCLUDED?
Day 1: Dinner
Day 2: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4: Grab and go breakfast
IS THIS ONLY FOR THE WEDDING INDUSTRY?
There is no escaping the fact I naturally have a lot of wedding industry clients, especially wedding planners, however this retreat is open for all creative businesses. The workshops being hosted are tailored around mindset and strategy, not weddings.
FINAL MESSAGE
I truly believe that taking time to reconnect with yourself and your vision is one of the best investments you can make in your business.
I see too many entrepreneurs burn out from doing it all alone. This retreat is your chance to step away, reset, and build a business that feels aligned, joyful, and sustainable.
If you are unsure if the retreat is right for you, and are not sure what room to book feel free to email me on hello@bernadettechapman.co.uk or book a call and we can discuss.
