A Retreat-Style Workshop

England | COMING SOON

Lovely things, people, and places seem to sneak up on us. They catch our attention so swiftly, yet linger in our hearts or minds much longer than expected. Maybe it's the sight of a certain flower or scenery out of a car window. Maybe it's an encounter with someone who exudes peace in their voice, the smell of your favorite meal being made, or a photo that stops you in your tracks? Some of the loveliest things in life are just stumbled upon. If we learn how to both live & work intentionally; we may just become the little bits of "lovely" someone else discovers along their way, too. 

Come join Ashley and zac, along with U.s. EVENT PLANNER & designer, LACY GEARY, ANd London-based floral designer, Poppy Sturley, for an incredible retreat-style workshop in the English Countryside.

After one of the craziest seasons in many of our lives thus far, it's time to invest in yourself & your business with an inspiring escape to one of the most magical places in Europe. The UK has completely captivated us in recent years. We cannot wait to share our heart for this country, introduce you to its wonder, and leave your notebooks + minds filled with personalized education to help take your business to the next level!

We plan to educate attendees in both a classroom setting, as well as 1:1 critiques, so you walk away feeling like you have exactly what YOU need to practically begin elevating your business and finding joy within your work again. We want to help each of you to find your voice and creative edge, so you stand out in your market and attract the right clients and planners to your brand! 

In addition to gorgeous shoots and hands-on learning, we will also be creating space for you to simply enjoy yourself and get immersed in local cultural experiences and epic scenery. While many WILL BE ending their year exhausted and "on empty" we want you to come and experience a deep refilling. WE RECOGNIZE THAT In our world today, we struggle with being present and knowing how to refuel ourselves correctly.

Ashley & Zac have been studying & practicing how to live a more intentional, restful way of life for years and they recognize the dire need to share what they have learned with others in the creative industry around the globe. So that you, too, can find rest & balance within a thriving, profitable business. Come excited, leave truly changed and inspired!
