Deep in the stunning Tweed Valley, join me for a transformative weekend designed for successful women who are ready to reconnect with their vision, reclaim their energy, and return with a crystal-clear direction for what's next.
Exhale is your invitation to pause...
This isn't just a retreat. It's a strategic pause that will transform how you show up in your business and life.
In a world where we are constantly inhaling, take a moment... and exhale.
If you're craving space, stillness and a reset that lingers long after you leave, this soul nourishing retreat is calling your name.

As the business woman who's always "on", holding space for everyone else, juggling the demands of business, family and life... it's time to exhale.
This isn't just a retreat. It's a reset.
A sacred space where you can finally put it all down.
Disconnect from the noise. Step away from the pressure. And be deeply held.
This is space just for you.
To slow down and soften.
To tune out the work and tune back into yourself.
To reconnect with your values, your vision, and the woman you truly want to be - vibrant, grounded, and lit up from within!
Guided by some of the country's most experienced and nurturing facilitators, you'll be gently led through restorative practices, rich reflection, and soul-deep conversations that bring you back home to yourself.
You'll release the weight you've been carrying.
And in its place, you'll create room for something more expansive.
More true.
You will leave feeling nourished, inspired and reconnected to your power.
You will not leave the same woman that arrived...
What this means for your business:
When you're operating from a place of clarity and connection rather than chaos and overwhelm, everything shifts:
✨ Strategic Clarity - Your next right move becomes obvious, not overwhelming
✨ Confident Leadership - You'll lead from intuition and wisdom, not reaction and fear
✨ Aligned Decision-Making - Every choice will be filtered through your values and vision
✨ Expanded Capacity - You'll have the internal space to hold bigger opportunities and challenges
✨ Sustainable Growth - You'll see how to scale your impact without sacrificing your soul
The women who invest in this kind of deep reset don't just feel better, they perform better. They make clearer decisions, attract better opportunities, and build businesses that truly serve their vision.

This Retreat is for You If...
✔ You've built something successful but feel disconnected from your original vision—it's time to remember your "why"

✔ You know your business growth is directly tied to your personal development—and you're ready to invest in both
✔ You want to lead with more confidence and less anxiety—showing up as the visionary your business needs
✔ You're tired of feeling like you're constantly reacting instead of intentionally creating
✔ You value luxury experiences that deliver real transformation—not just pretty Instagram moments

✔ You're ready to design success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside
THIS IS ME!Your Strategic Investment
Let's be honest—you could spend this money on another business course, conference, or mastermind.
But here's what I've learned in 20 years of business:
YOUR EXTERNAL RESULTS WILL ONLY BE AS STRONG AS YOUR INTERNAL FOUNDATION.
This retreat is an investment in:
- The clarity to make decisions that move your business forward instead of sideways
- The energy and presence to show up as the leader your team and clients need
- The nervous system regulation that allows you to handle bigger opportunities with ease
- The peer connections that will support your growth long after the weekend ends
The most successful women I know don't just work ON their business, they work on themselves.
They understand that sustainable growth requires sustainable practices.
This isn't just self-care. It's strategic business development.

This is more than a retreat.
It's a recalibration.
In three days you'll move from;
Decision paralysis → Crystal clear next steps
Reactive leadership → Intentional visioning
Overwhelmed execution → Strategic focus
Isolated struggle → Connected community
Burned out hustle → Sustainable success
You'll return to your business with renewed energy, clear priorities, and the internal capacity to handle whatever comes next. Not from a place of stress, but from a place of strength.
Because when you're operating from alignment instead of exhaustion,
everything becomes possible.
SECURE YOUR SPOT
MEET YOUR HOST
Mel Marsden
Hi, I’m Mel, and I've been exactly where you are.
For 20 years I've been leading businesses and for the past 12 years I've been operating my own successful consulting firm COMUNiTI.
I created this retreat because it’s exactly what I once needed, although I didn’t realise it at the time.
Like so many ambitious women, I pushed through the relentless pace of life—juggling career demands, family responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do it all. Over time, the stress became my ‘normal,’ and without realising it, I found myself in body burnout and adrenal fatigue.
It was here I began exploring a different way—one rooted in balance, nourishment, and deep restoration. By embracing practices that supported my nervous system, I was able to reclaim my energy, passion, and clarity, expanding my internal capacity, without sacrificing my family or business.
My passion is helping women reconnect with themselves, tune into their intuition, and embrace simple, nourishing practices that bring clarity and ease. When we take the time to reset and realign, everything else—our work, our relationships, our sense of purpose—flows so much more effortlessly.
This retreat exists because I know what it's like to love your business but feel lost in it. To be successful on paper but exhausted in reality. To know you want to grow but feel stuck on how.
I'm not just a business mentor—I'm a business owner in the trenches with you, sharing the strategies that have allowed me to build sustainable success while maintaining my health, relationships, and joy.
This retreat is where business strategy meets soul restoration.
Where ambitious women remember that taking care of themselves isn't selfish—it's strategic.
