YOU’RE INVITED TO INVEST IN YOURSELF

Launching and running your own business encompasses the full range of human emotions. 

Exhilaration, joy, awe, anxiety, surprise, disbelief… it’s all a part of our journey as business owners. 

And that journey can feel isolating at times. 

The Bloom Retreat sprouted from the desire to eliminate the all-too-common loneliness that hinders womxn in business from reaching their full potential. 

Three core elements are necessary to grow as a person, and in turn, grow your business.

The promise: The Bloom retreat is centered around these three values.

By participating in the Bloom Retreat, you’ll: 

✨ reconnect with yourself,

✨ convene and collaborate with your fellow attendees,

✨ experience the space to rest, reflect, and rejuvenate,

✨ learn how to clearly communicate your brand through content

✨ identify your brand’s visual identity

✨ grow towards your business goals.  

“Harvest Retreats completely changed the future of my business. Incredible experience. Literally life changing!”

- Nicole Steen, past attendee 

MEET YOUR TEAM: 

I’ve hired the best in the biz to share their expertise and provide you with the tools necessary to tackle what’s next for you and your business.

Every facilitator involved in the Bloom Retreat is a small business owner who fully encompasses Bloom’s values and goals. Each person is here to support you during your retreat experience and ensure you leave ready to Bloom.

Host: Dara Laine Murray

Dara is the person who is asked to plan her family’s and friends’ vacations, just because she is THAT GOOD at finding places and spaces with great energy and unique surroundings.

She’s a convener, a lover of introductions, and an Aries sun + Leo moon (it’s a thing.) 

A natural cheerleader, Dara finds genuine joy in seeing people succeed.

With Bloom, she turns that same drive and passion into planning the ultimate retreat for service-based business owners who are in need of a reset. With every detail, she’s envisioning how it will support attendees in tackling whatever comes next with their business.

Keynote: Arianna Valle

Arianna is the founder and solopreneur behind Valle Creative Consulting. She helps small online business owners channel their unique selves, expertise, and values into marketing strategies that grow their business. 

Every attendee receives a one-on-one consultation call with Arianna prior to the retreat to learn more about their business goals and offer insights to make the most of our work together. A post-retreat one-on-one call is included to process and reflect upon their work and provide additional feedback and resources to benefit their continued growth. 

At Bloom, she’ll be leading interactive sessions to help attendees identify their content pillars to grow their business through.

• authentic connection, 

• effective time management, 

• and clear communication.

Creativity & Mindfulness Coach: Kelly Laughlin 

Kelly is the founder of Odette Press and an artist, writer, and creative guide. She explores the relationships between movement, art, attunement, and nature as methods of self care and education. 

In addition to a pre-retreat one on one creativity call, she’ll be leading Bloom attendees through a reflective, creative, intentional writing session. During this session, she’ll foster: 

• connections through responding to different insightful questions 

• stillness and strength via inner reflection

• what it is each Bloom attendee is hoping to cultivate or embody through their business and personal aims.

Remember, with only eight slots available, the Bloom Retreat is a highly personalized experience.

Wondering if the Bloom Retreat is right for you? 

✨ Are you a womxn or non-binary person who operates a service-based business? 

✨ Do you enjoy challenging yourself and taking risks? (seeing that you own a business, the answer is most likely YES.) 

✨ Are you craving support from folks who understand the unique challenges and triumphs of small business ownership? 

✨ Are you ready to prioritize yourself in order to grow your business? 

If you find yourself nodding your head in response to any of these questions, then you’re EXACTLY who we want to meet at Bloom.

Making an investment in yourself can be daunting. 

I get it! As someone who has worked hard to honor myself and my goals through thoughtful investments, I get how nerve-wracking it can be to part with your hard-earned money. 

I’m happy to report that everyone I know who has taken the leap to invest in themselves and their business is grateful for the choice every. single. time.  

In fact, 100% of past Harvest Retreat attendees reported that they left with improved confidence and clarity surrounding their goals plus the motivation to successfully grow their business.

⚡Professional and personal development is how you build a strong foundation for your business. Learning new things, meeting new people, and experiencing a change of scenery do wonders for your creativity and strategic thinking. 

⚡Investing in yourself is another strategic way to invest in your business. You put a percentage of profit back into your business to support growth, and a business retreat is another opportunity to re-invest in your business goals. 

⚡100% of your investment (time, money, energy) goes directly towards you and your goals. 

⚡Prevent burnout. When you choose to invest in yourself, you create the space and time to reset. This is crucial for your success! An exhausted and stressed business owner can’t properly grow their business. 

⚡Those who have invested in their own well-being feel more productive, have more energy, better time management, and improved relationships with the people they care about. 

These returns on investment have proven true and extraordinarily valuable for me every time I’ve taken the leap. 

So, are you ready to join me, our facilitators, and seven other incredible business owners at Bloom?
