One day · Central London · 25 September 2026
A one-day return to yourself.
Set in a beautiful private venue in Central London: a day to step out of the noise of everyday life and into something far more grounded, clear, and powerful.
This isn't just a retreat
Most women are trying to think their way into feeling better. And they're very good at it. They can name what's off, explain it clearly, hold space for everyone else's version of it, and still come home to a body that hasn't quite landed.
At some point you took on an identity. The capable one. The strong one. The one who holds it all together. It served you. It may still serve you. But a new beginning asks a different question: what do you need to put down?
Essence is where that starts. Not with more thinking. With the body.
NEW BEGINNINGS
There are moments where you begin to sense that something is shifting. A quiet feeling that you are ready for more. Or a growing awareness that the way you are currently living, working, or showing up no longer fully fits the version of yourself you are becoming.
What stands between where you are and where you know you could be is rarely a lack of ability. It is the invisible weight you are still carrying. The beliefs inherited over years. The emotional patterns that quietly shape your decisions. The physical exhaustion you have normalised. The stories about what is possible for you.
Too often, women learn to become smaller versions of themselves without ever consciously realising it.
New beginnings rarely start with changing our circumstances. More often, they begin when we give ourselves permission to become a different version of ourselves.
How the day works
Release the tension you have normalised.
Meet the patterns that quietly shape your decisions.
Slow down until you can hear yourself again.
Reset your relationship with money, worth and independence.
Whether that next chapter is in your personal life, your career, your business or simply the relationship you have with yourself, the intention is the same: to leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence and a genuine sense of possibility.
Am I fully being the woman I know I am capable of? Or am I still becoming her?
Because when women fully step into their own potential, the ripple effect extends far beyond themselves.
The journey
Throughout the day, we'll gently guide you through a series of conversations, reflections and experiences designed to help you pause, reconnect and gain clarity around what comes next.
Together we'll explore

What actually happens
Juliette
An honest look at where you are. Where life feels heavy, where you've been on autopilot, what you've been carrying without naming it.
Then the emotional patterns underneath: fear, old identity, the protective behaviours that got you here but no longer fit.
And then: physical movement. Spinal attunement. Embodied release. The body participates in the shift, not just the mind.
Natasha
Meditation. Music. Breathwork. Natasha slows everything down until you can hear yourself again.
Then she takes you into your Akashic Records: the patterns carried across this lifetime and others, surfacing so you can see them clearly and choose differently. Remembrance, not escape.
Liz
Your hormones are not a problem to manage. They are a language your body speaks. Liz helps you learn to read it.
How your cycle shapes your energy, mood, and capacity. What your body is actually telling you, and how to work with it rather than override it. The physical layer beneath everything you've been pushing through.
Amy
A conversation with Amy Knight, personal finance expert, broadcaster and co-founder of Women Who Scale, on financial confidence, independence and the relationship many women have with money.
How beliefs around wealth, worth and opportunity quietly shape the decisions we make and the futures we create. Because a new chapter is easier to step into when you feel financially empowered.
The woman who creates your next chapter is unlikely to be exactly the same woman who created the last one.
Your guides for the day
Led by Liz, Juliette, and Natasha, with Amy Knight of Women Who Scale joining for the afternoon. Essence brings together science, embodiment, and deeper self-connection, in a way that feels grounded, intelligent, and genuinely transformative.
Juliette reconnects you to your body and your emotions. Unlocks the patterns you may have been quietly carrying. You leave feeling touched, by yourself, by life, by what's still possible.
Liz reconnects you with the essence of your health and hormones, revealing how to be in conversation with your body and attune to your hormonal success keys. Your leadership more embodied.
Natasha connects you with your Akashic Records to reveal old patterns you have been carrying for lifetimes. This is remembrance, not escape. Your awareness deepens. You leave more anchored in who you are.
Joining us this year
Amy is passionate about helping women build ambitious businesses, access investment and create lasting impact.
During the afternoon, Amy will lead a conversation exploring financial confidence, independence and the relationship many women have with money. Together, we'll consider how our beliefs around wealth, worth and opportunity can quietly shape the decisions we make and the futures we create.
In partnership with Women Who Scale
We're delighted to be partnering with Women Who Scale for this year's Essence Retreat.
Women Who Scale exists to connect female founders with the investors, partners, mentors and opportunities they need to grow. Together, we share a belief that when women are supported to step fully into their potential, the impact reaches far beyond the individual.
Their work is helping more women build businesses, access investment and lead with confidence, making them a natural partner for this year's theme of New Beginnings.

What's included
Leave with
Some part of you has been quietly asking for a day like this for a long time.
From women who were in the room
"I cannot thank you 3 ladies enough for creating a SAFE community of inspirational women! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Beautiful surroundings, food and women. I absolutely loved the energy!"
"So much to share, to talk about and to listen to. A sharing of soul energy. What can't we achieve when we come together!"
"I needed to feel there is more to me and to life being amongst the beautiful QUEENS. I am leaving feeling uplifted and grateful for the reminder of the power I have within."
Optional add-on
While you are here, in this light, in this space, in this version of yourself, you can book a private mini shoot with the fabulous Justine Stoddart. Ten minutes. Ten fully edited images. No awkward posing. Just you, as you are, on a day when you finally arrived back to yourself.
10-minute portrait session · 10 edited images · incredible value
This day is for you if…
One small reminder
You don't need to have all the answers before you arrive. You simply need the willingness to pause, reflect and become curious about what might be possible if you stopped holding yourself back.
We'd love you to join us.
