In the heart of Cornwall, at the Bedruthan hotel, five female founders came together for something rare, time. Time to step out of the daily whirlwind of running a business. Time to share honestly, think clearly, and reconnect with the heart of why we started.

Over two days, we gathered not just to talk shop, but to bring our businesses to life in a new way, through connection, collaboration, and creativity, as well as the opportunity to try a relaxing spa session at the luxurious Scarlet Hotel Spa which provided the perfect setting for a spot of rejuvenation.

Set against a backdrop of the rugged Cornish seascape, wild beauty and stillness, I swapped insights and shared challenges with Helen, founder of swimwear brand Davy J, long time friends of Peachaus, Balance me Skincare and Claudia, founder of modern pearl jewellery brand Claudia Bradbury. We showcased our products, and supported one another with laughter and honesty.

It wasn’t a conference. It wasn’t a workshop. It was a reminder that when we come together with intention and openness, something powerful shifts. This was a space to imagine differently, and to apply fresh thinking to our brands, not from behind a desk, but with our feet in the sand and our hearts open.
