Why Lorn and the Hunter region?
Nestled amidst lush vineyards and picturesque countryside, the Hunter Valley is a sanctuary of inspiration and tranquility. With its rolling hills, serene ambiance, and rich heritage, this region offers the perfect pause for those seeking clarity, beauty, and creative renewal.

Your Retreat Host
Hey there, I'm Emma Lovell
Aka The Bleisure Coach, and the Founder of Rest & Receive Retreats. I help people combine business, travel and self care to live a life they love. And one of my favourite ways to do it, is through retreats.
Through my programs, coaching, podcast, and retreats, my mission is simple: to help people live a life they love—one that’s guided by clarity, self-trust, and meaningful creative expression.
In August 2024, I published my first book, The Art of Bleisure. What many don’t know is that the seed for that book was planted right here—at Lorn Rose Farm, during a retreat just like this one. It was here, in the quiet, in the stillness, that I committed to my dream. I made space for the idea to land. And I gave myself permission to receive it.
That experience changed everything. And now, I’m doing it again.
I’ll be using this retreat to write my next book—because I believe in walking the walk. I believe in creating space, not just for others, but for myself. That’s what Rest & Receive is all about.
I built this business because I was done with the hustle. I realised that the most powerful breakthroughs don’t come when we’re pushing—they come when we pause. When we allow space. When we listen.
That’s why I’ve created The Rose Creative Retreat. To share that space with you.
Whether you're writing, painting, dreaming, or simply allowing yourself to be—this retreat isn’t about doing more. It’s about reconnecting to what matters, nurturing your creativity, and letting something new unfold.
You don’t have to earn this rest.
You don’t have to be ready.
You just have to say yes to yourself.
I can’t wait to welcome you.
The care Emma takes in designing the retreat for her guests is next level. You have a natural ability to create a VIP experience and be relatable and human at the same time. Emma provides a safe, nurturing space for her guests, allowing us to relax and reignite. Thrilled we’ve connected and thank you.

This was my first retreat experience so I was a bit nervous about getting out of my comfort zone and 'sharing' - but once I started, I found the sharing was very therapeutic. I learnt a lot about myself and others, and how sharing can lighten the mental load.

Why Rest & Receive Retreats?
At Rest & Receive, we believe that the greatest breakthroughs happen in the quiet moments—in the spaces between doing and being. We’ve built our ethos around the transformative power of rest and intentionality, knowing that stepping away from the day-to-day allows clarity, connection, and inspiration to flourish. This is the foundation for all of our retreats.
Our Purpose
Rest & Receive is not your typical business retreat. While others may focus on endless sessions and packed schedules, we create an environment where the true magic lies in conversations, connections, and the community we cultivate together. Here, you’ll find the spaciousness to dream boldly and act intentionally.
Our Approach
- Rest: To restore, regenerate, and reinvigorate. Resting is not just a pause but a necessary part of growth—giving your mind, body, and spirit the time and care they need to align.
- Receive: To welcome opportunities with openness and trust. By creating the mental and emotional space for possibility, we invite the future we envision into our lives.
Our Promise
During your retreat, we guide you out of the busy "in the business" mode and into a state of expanded perspective. This is about the long-term—the vision for your future and the meaningful impact you want to make. With time and space for reflection, and curated moments of connection, you will leave empowered, recharged, and ready to step into your next chapter.
At Rest & Receive, we live by collaboration over competition, embracing vulnerability, and honouring every participant’s journey. This is a space where self-care meets strategy and where dreams become action.
This isn’t just a retreat—it’s an investment in yourself and the transformative power of your potential.
What's the plan?
Over three nights and four transformative days, you’ll step away from the everyday to reconnect with your creativity and make space for what truly matters. Held at the serene Lorn Rose Farm, this retreat offers time to rest, reflect, and create—at your own pace and in your own way. With a gentle rhythm of inspiration, connection, and quiet focus, this is where your next chapter begins.
Day 1 - Arrival and intention setting
Day 2 - Spacious Creation
Day 3 - Integration, goal setting & inspired stillness
Day 4 - Breakfast, farewells and leisure
Remember this is a time for you!
Please give yourself the full 3 nights and 3 days to truly get the most out of the experience.
Please discuss your travel arrangements with Emma Lovell to ensure you arrive and depart with the full time to experience this retreat at its best.
We highly suggest that you also put on a proper out of office before you come away. That means no meetings, no calls and no work to be completed. It's just 3 days out of your entire year and the gift is truly in the space that is created when we make this time. The private and secluded accommodation in the heart of nature will also enforce a little bit of disconnecting from the outside world, to ensure that you can focus on your project and connecting to your creativity.
Take this time to switch off, to truly be present and to really connect with this group of like minded people who share your big dream. We promise you'll be grateful for this precious time.
Rest and Receive was an investment in every single part of me - emotional, spiritual, physical, mental, social and so much more.
