In a fresh new deep way...

St. Simons is calling you to go deep within....

Just 6 Spots in this Intimate SpiritRICH Retreat

Is 1 waiting for you?

Hi, Laura West here, author, coach, speaker, and 40+ mom-preneur, writing to invite you to spend a few days with me in a soul-nourishing intimate retreat at an amazingly inspiring location for the love and soul of your business.

Over the 10 years I've been a business coach and mentor to creative women entrepreneurs, I have offered all types of experiences to grow your business with grace: teleclass series, workshops, products. And this is the first time I have offered this type of exclusive and inclusive retreat. It's the first time I am offering an invitation to go deep into the knowing place of where your business wants to grow at this type of soul-nurturing location.

At my For the Love and Soul of Your Business Retreat on St. Simons Island in Georgia, you'll get to truly retreat into deep waters of what wants to emerge from you next. Come experience the magic and miracles which takes place when a small group of like-minded, kindred spirit women unite in sisterhood for the sake of the next creative expression that is waiting to be birthed.

This is soul nourishing retreat for you and your business. It's a relaxed pace, a cozy atmosphere, and a beautiful, luxurious location to inspire new ideas, and call you forward in new ways.

Visit the website for the hotel (can you hear the ocean waves relaxing you already?)...imagine what will shift as you decide this is the retreat for you...synchronicities will already start appearing in the shape of new ideas, new energy, increased clarity of your vision, new possibilities, and a renewed sense of conviction in yourself and the movement you are creating in the world.

" The minute Laura showed me the website for the hotel and talked about what she'd love to create - this intimate retreat with a small number of women entrepreneurs - I was hooked. I told her I'd do it, and I didn't have any more information than that! I do know the work Laura does and the kinds of events she puts on.... For the Love and Soul of Your Business retreat promised to go even deeper than anything she's ever done before. The funny thing - within days of talking with Laura about this, I've had more people signing up for classes, and my creative energy is skyrocketing through the roof. Coincidence? Nah. Just me paying attention to my business and the Universe noticing."

Photograph of Ocean Lodge Hotel Check out our luxurious retreat location, just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. If you've always wanted to visit Tuscany (like me) but haven't made it yet, here's your chance to combine Tuscany and the healing ocean waters. Can you even stand it?! Everyone who sees this location gets excited and instantly inspired--just from the photos. Imagine actually being there and what it will do for your business!

I've even booked my own personal retreat at this hotel to give myself the gift of creative and inspiring time to work on some projects. I could have chosen to go anywhere, but I chose to step up into this luscious location because it will fill me with abundance and beauty, both of which inspire new ideas and energy.

I want to give you the same experience!

Photograph of view from Ocean LodgeThis retreat experience is different from my other workshops. This is an opportunity to pamper your dreams, to shed some light, to give voice, to write words...and to nurture your spirit to birth your dreams. It's NOT content, a million marketing strategies, and plowing through a workbook. There's coaching for sure (we'll be talking marketing strategies), but this retreat is designed to help you champion your dream of where you and your business are going next.

What I've found is that as I step more and more into my own brilliance, my environment and mental energies are crucial for taking those steps. If you want more, are ready to play big, and want to step into YOUR brilliance, I know you'll be able to do all that the second you step in the door of this amazing place.

Just one idea, one big aha, one possibility becoming real will change the whole direction of your business growth and success.

I'm here to allow that happen for you. I'll provide coaching, consulting, visioning, deep questions. There will be journaling, guided mediations, walks on the beach, body-nourishing food, real conversations about our lives and business and what really matters to you... and so much more.

Aren't you wishing you were there now? Do you feel a hunger? A hunger for something you've maybe never had before? That deep place inside you - yearning to come out, to be expressed, to come out into the world?

Photograph of RetreatDuring this retreat you will tap into your inner Business Goddess, you'll allow your muse to play, your give voice to your dream, and you'll have the support of me and the other kindred sisters in this group.

You'll arrive with sparks of your own possibilities and leave with lifelong friendships and champions of your dream.

I am keeping the For the Love and Soul of Your Business Retreat intimate - 6 people only! I want everyone to get maximum soul nurturing time. So, if you are interested, fill out the application and email or fax it to us right away.

More glorious details:

Photograph of the ocean Where: At the Ocean Lodge hotel on St. Simons Island, Georgia, USA, located minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. We'll be sure to include a walk or two the beach...

When: Monday, April 26 - Thursday, April 29

Fly in Monday to either Jacksonville, FL or Savannah, GA, (of course, you may drive). St. Simons is about an hour from each airport. You get yourself to St. Simons, and we'll take care of the rest... oh, doesn't that sound heavenly!

 

Photograph of Ocean Lodge food and table We'll start Monday evening with a wonderful dinner on the rooftop restaurant where we'll gather to get to know each other and follow up with an evening exercise to share our intentions. Breakfast and lunch is included Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and dinner is included for Monday and Wednesday. (Dinner is on your own Tuesday and Thursday as I want to make sure you have this time to really integrate what you've been working on and have the necessary time to yourself.) We wrap up the end of the day Thursday, and then you leave Friday morning to travel home - with all the ahas and your next big thing birthed.

I'll provide the soul-nurturing activities - from journaling, to movement, beach walks, to conversation. Everyone receives one-on-one coaching time from me to further their business dreams. You'll have plenty of time for personal creative time too, so bring your laptop -for creation - not emails! ;) You can mindmap, use flipcharts, journal, whatever works for you to let the juicy ideas flow.

Price: The retreat is $3997 for this luxurious business and soul-nurturing experience. This includes meals from dinner Monday through lunch on Thursday (except dinner on Tuesday and Thursday nights) as well as your hotel room for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. You just need to get yourself there! It also includes 1:1 coaching with me and leadership and any materials we'll need for the retreat (although you'll want to bring your own journal as I find that most of us are particular about our favorite type of journal to write in).

NEW PAYMENT OPTION! You have two payment options. $3997 to pay in full and is due once we receive your application, and you and I have an interview/conversation. If you prefer an easy payment plan, you can do that too: $1997 down and 5 monthly payments of $500 each.

RETREAT BONUS! Join us for the For the Love and Soul of Your Business Retreat, and you'll get my upcoming 5-part teleseries, The Business Goddess's Guide To Becoming a Highly Sought After and Trusted Expert, for free.

What else? We'll also have a group call before the retreat and a follow-up call after the retreat.

Please request your application right away or ask us questions now as I am sure this unique retreat will fill up quickly. The deadline to register is Friday, April 16.

"It was very inspirational to share in the creative energy of my retreat-mates. While it's great to set aside time to focus on specific projects, goals or intentions, the true value for me came from the community created in the retreat. It supported me to bring my A game to those 4 hours!"

"Laura Howard West is my business coach and the author of "The Joyful Business Guide". I have worked with her for the past 2 years with amazing success on every level. She has transformed my business and my life.

Basically, Laura helped me get my "mojo" back and I am in love with my business again. And, consequently, all aspects of my life have improved as well.

Laura has a combination of rare qualities: genius (coaching is her calling and it shows), grace (she has a calmness that I aspire to), growth (she keeps getting better and better) and generosity (she shares her knowledge and resources).

2009 is scheduled to be my biggest year in the history of my 10 year business! Thank you!"

"I have been working with Laura for a few years and love having her as my business partner. Laura is committed to my success, even on the days when I'm not feeling it; I know Laura is always holding that vision for me. I have watched Laura and her business grow over the last few years. It has been wonderful to watch and even better to be a part of. Laura is extremely talented as a coach; she can nudge you when necessary, always caring and compassionate and outrageously creative and fun!

Since committing to my own success through Laura's Magic & Miracles Platinum Program my energy has shifted enormously. I have made the decision to succeed. Taking small steps each day toward my goals. Laura is instrumental in keeping me on track and very good at knowing when we need to discuss making changes. She listens carefully and always seems to have clear vision even when your vision feels very cloudy. She is constantly introducing me to new people and new ideas and her creativity is unlimited.

One of my favorite parts of the program is the private retreat with Laura. It is an amazing full day of Laura laser focused on you and your business. After committing to your vision story for the next 1-3 years, she helps plan out what steps you need to take to make the vision a reality! I can't even tell you how excited I am to wake up every day to see what exciting new idea might become a reality! It has been an amazing journey!"
