with Suz Chadwick
FROM wedneSDAY 11th october TO SATURDAY 14th october 2023
In 2023, as the year of change and resilience continues, I want to be a ‘space creator' for you to bring your goals, mindset, creativity and work to live. This is about curating an experience for you to connect with others to share your thoughts and ideas and also have the expanse and support to challenge your thinking and limits. If I can support you to think bigger, play bigger and do something exciting that can truly energise you then I'm all in!
This years #RiseBusinessRetreat will be hosted in a beautiful house in Daylesford/Hepburn Springs in Victoria, with a variety of spaces for you to write, sit, sleep and relax.
This retreat is specifically for those who want to build a stand out personal brand, become a paid speaker and thought leader in their industry. You're here to do big things! We'll be supporting you to start getting paid a speaker, get clear on what you're here to share and how you want to show up and do it.
The experience that I want to create is one that is cosy, fun, creative, relaxing and inspires connection, story sharing and storytelling. We have included some amazing bonuses and extra to make this retreat one that you won't forget and we want it to be the bench market for AMAZING! From inspiring and insight business training to branding photoshoots, massages, winery dinners and more! I can guarantee it will set you up for the year and give you the refresher that you need!
YES, YES & YES - I'M IN!
The best business retreat I've ever attended. I re-charged my batteries, met the most incredible, talented women, and fell back in love with my business. Suz -thank you so much for organising this amazing retreat.

Curated with Conscience
The retreat organised by Suz was just what I needed. As businesswomen, we are so often working alone & stuck in our own thoughts & ideas. Being around other women who understand how hard running a business can be, is so empowering, inspiring & motivating.

Suz has created such a supportive, like-minded, intelligent and inspiring community. Therefore this retreat was so mind-blowingly amazing for me. I have never attended anything like this so didn't really know what to expect but WOW.

So now it's about you – enjoy!
Fancy not cooking and having someone else cook you amazing food? yeah, me too!

You'll need your laptop and chargers and then it's up to you if you want to bring pen and paper and then all of your personal belongs for the time we're there. We would recommend you bring comfortable clothes, no need to be fancy whilst you're relaxing. Bring your bathers for the pool (just encase we have amazing weather!) and anything else you would like to.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME?
When you arrive, there will be a roster that and you can choose your time for your massage and your photoshoot. Due to the number of people attending, when you book a time, you must attend that slot otherwise you will lose the opportunity to have that activity unless you swap with someone else. We cannot accommodate extra bookings for either our photographer or masseuse.
HOW DO THE BRANDING PHOTO SESSION & MASSAGE BOOKINGS WORK?
Due to the nature of the retreat, your deposit is non-refundable until we get someone else to take your spot. We would expect you to try and find someone if you are unable to attend and your place is transferable to another woman in business. We will have a waitlist and will obviously help you to try and find someone if by chance you are unable to come.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I BOOK AND THEN CAN'T COME?
Yes, for sure. Just let me know what you need and we'll ensure it's taken care of.
IF I HAVE DIETARY REQUIREMENTS WILL THEY BE CATERED FOR?
No, not at all. Sessions are there for you to come and go as you please. What I would say is that our retreat run so much better when people get involved and connect. That's what they are for. You to connect and spend time working on yourself within the context of your business. So the more you get involved the more you get out of the experience.
DO I NEED TO ATTEND EVERYTHING?
Have Questions? I've got answers.
Suz created an awesome space at this retreat that was welcoming...
Suz created an awesome space at this retreat that was welcoming, engaging, had the right mix of content, play, rest and bubbles! It was great to have a photo shoot and massage as part of it. Food was awesome and the winery lunch was a lovely way to celebrate the few days away. A great group of women and some lovely connections made. Likely some mutually beneficial future opportunities too!

It's amazing to have you here on this page, considering joining what I know will be an amazing retreat for women in business. A recent retreat that I hosted showed me the power of women coming together to connect, converse and just be present without distractions and other demands.
This is your time to have someone else cook for and take care of your needs. It' your time to not have to look after anyone else but yourself and to take time just to be still and think about the things that you want to achieve for yourself and your business in 2023.
I want to make this a magical experience for you. I want you to feel cared for, nurtured, inspired and more. That's what I'm here to do and I can't wait to have you join me and the other incredible women coming.
Hey lovely
You won’t regret it!

I thoroughly enjoyed the recent retreat with Suz at the Summer House Torquay. We went away to write a book, and whilst not much book writing got done, I gained so much more than I expected from this experience.
I didn’t know any of the other ladies prior to Suz bringing us together in the lead up to the event, but there was an immediate sense of comfort once we all got together. I thoroughly enjoyed the few days away immersing in conversation with like-minded business owners, sharing our stories and supporting one another. Being in business can be lonely, I didn’t realise how much I craved this connection with others with similar ambitions (yet completely different fields) until this experience. It’s a credit to Suz for attracting wonderful people that I immediately felt at home with!

This weekend I had the opportunity to connect with a group of amazing women at a business retreat run by the fab Suz Chadwick.
It was the first business retreat I’ve been on and I went with an open mind, excited to cross the city lines, journey to the beach for a change of scenery and work on a new project for 2021.
The connection and conversations over these couple of days were exactly what I needed. Being around like-minded women, sharing their dreams and passions for helping others through their work was inspiring.

Suzanne Chadwick’s Writers Retreat was fantastic. Even though we didn’t get much writing done *cough cough* it seemed that the Universe had whipped up a recipe for all of the ladies who had felt compelled to attend; one that would stimulate our minds, feed our souls and fill our hearts.
It ended up being a few days in which a group of talented and driven businesswomen came together and completely surrendered to all that we’d been feeling in 2020.
Sharing our battles and scars, but also our victorious stories.
❤️ Shedding a few tears over some of the disappointments of the year.
❤️Laughing a lot about the good times.
❤️ But ultimately, we were given space to share our daring and bold dreams for the future!
I am so grateful for the friendships I have formed over these last few days. And for the inspiration and the fire these ladies have put in my belly to achieve BIG things in 2021! I can’t wait to see what unfolds for all of us.
And Suz – this retreat was all I hoped for and more. As soon as the next one launches, I’m in 😜👯♀️🥂💪🏻 👑
