Ground & Grow
Step away. Move your business forward.
Does any of this sound familiar?
This retreat is for you if you are ready to bring your business, idea or next chapter online, but want to do it in a way that feels calm, supported and empowering.
-
You've been putting your website off for far longer than you'd like to admit.
-
You don't have a website yet - but know your business is ready for one.
-
Your website no longer reflects the quality of your work.
-
You know your business deserves to be seen, but you're not sure where to start.
-
You've tried doing it yourself, but keep getting stuck.
-
You wish someone could simply sit beside you and help you make sense of it all.
If that sounds like you, you've just found exactly why Ground & Grow exists.
Your Ground & Grow Retreat Weekend.
Focused time to create, restore and make meaningful progress
Before the Retreat
Arrive prepared, not overwhelmed
Once your place is booked, we will begin with a private one-to-one planning session. Together, we will clarify your ideas, organise your content and make the first key decisions for your website.
You will receive clear guidance on what to prepare, so when you arrive at Tewinbury, you are ready to create rather than starting from scratch.
The Retreat Weekend
Focused time to bring it all together
The weekend is where your ideas begin to take shape. You will work on your website with personal guidance, practical teaching and dedicated time away from everyday distractions.
Alongside the website sessions, there will be space to rest, reflect, connect and return to your business with renewed clarity and confidence.
After the Retreat
Continued support until it feels like yours
The support does not end when the weekend finishes. You will receive up to three private one-to-one sessions afterwards, where we can refine your website, solve any problems and work through the details together.
Where practical, these sessions can take place in person locally, or online if easier. The aim is not simply to finish your website, but to make sure you understand how it works and feel confident managing it independently.
You will not be left to work everything out alone. The weekend includes small-group guidance, individual support and practical time to make meaningful progress on your website and business.
Who is this for?
This retreat is for you if you are ready to bring your business, idea or next chapter online, but want to do it in a way that feels calm, supported and empowering.
Perfect for:
-
New business owners
-
Creatives and wellness practitioners
-
Women with an idea but no website yet
-
Existing businesses needing a beautiful refresh
-
Anyone who wants focused support in a calm, inspiring setting
You may be starting from the beginning, refreshing an existing website, or finally giving shape to something that has been sitting in your mind for a while. You do not need to have it all worked out before booking. We will begin preparing together before the weekend, so you arrive with clearer foundations and everything you need to make meaningful progress.
This is for women who want more than a website that simply looks good. It is for women who want to understand their online presence, feel confident using it and build something they can continue to grow over time.

What previous retreat guests have said...
To Paola and Nick, I have grown to love and adore you both after you hosted the retreat at Glastonbury, in the magical Hunters Moon lodge over the spring solstice. You have shown me wisdom, grace, patience and wonderful hospitality for that I am grateful.
M.J / Hertfordshire
Such a heart warming, spiritual time. I got more out of being here than expected. Thank you. The house looks so magical. Paola & Nick are so heartwarming, loving, happy and a joy to be with. House was great and food was inspiring.
M / Bushey
Relaxing, peaceful & educational. I came to relax & unwind. I leave refreshed, alive and with purpose. The house is so, so beautiful & unique in such a beautiful location (think a bigger version of a hobbits house). Our hosts were like long lost friends & the food was delicious. All the guests & hosts got on like a happy family.
H.J / Hertfordshire
I feel alive and charged with such positive energy. I loved all the activities - Yoga, Past Life, 4 Pillars and especially the morning meditation and journal writing. The only way to fit more in is to extend the length of the retreat (yes please!). I have benefited from everything here. The morning meditation and journal writing will continue. The best thing I take away with me is knowing I am on the write path.
H / Radlett
It has been absolutely amazing. Paola has done everything in her power to make the stay enjoyable and relaxing and just perfect. Absolutely, this has exceeded my expectations. The organisation that has gone into this Retreat. The food has been amazing and has inspired me to live better.
K.B / Somerset
The house has the wow factor. A very relaxing place - perfect for a retreat. It's such a great location and only a short walk to the spa. The atmosphere was so calming and relaxing. Everyone here got something from it and will go away feeling better. I learnt so much speaking to other like minded people. I found the whole thing so interesting.
B / Somerset
I feel less tired, less stressed and my body aches less. Absolutely - I want to come back. Thank you Paola for creating such a lovely retreat. It's been so lovely.
S.J / Somerset
Very relaxed & enjoyable experience. Very warm welcome. Relaxed & friendly atmosphere. Accommodation and surrounding area lovely. The house (like a hobbit house) was very suitable for the occasion. It provided everything needed. Hosts were warm and welcoming & worked hard at meeting our requirements.

Why Tewinbury?
Tewinbury Farm, Hertfordshire
Tewinbury has been chosen with intention. Set on a working farm estate in Hertfordshire, it offers the kind of grounded, seasonal setting that reflects the heart of Luce & Earth: nature-led, nourishing and quietly restorative.
This is not a retreat hidden away from real life, but one rooted in it - surrounded by fields, food, history and the slower rhythms of the land. It gives us space to work differently: to step away from the pressure of doing everything online at speed, and instead create with clarity, care and connection.
From farm-to-table food to calm spaces for rest, reflection and conversation, Tewinbury supports the retreat’s purpose beautifully: helping you build an online presence that feels considered, aligned and sustainable.
Where clarity becomes confidence.
Build a website you understand - not one you feel locked out of.
The aim of this retreat is not simply to hand you a finished website and send you on your way. It is to help you understand the foundations of your online presence, so you feel more confident making decisions, updating your content and growing your website over time.
You will be guided through the structure, purpose and flow of your site, with support around copy, layout, brand feel and practical next steps. Whether you are starting from scratch or refreshing what already exists, the retreat is designed to help you feel more in control of how your business shows up online.
Ongoing support and maintenance can be discussed after the retreat, but the foundations we create together are there to give you knowledge, confidence and ownership from the very beginning.
The Journey.
Arrive
Settle into the space, slow the pace and begin reconnecting with your business, your ideas and what you want your online presence to say.
Root
Clarify the foundations of your website: who it is for, what it needs to communicate and how it can support the next stage of your work.
Create
Through guided sessions and 1:1 support, begin shaping your website structure, copy, visuals and brand direction in a way that feels clear and manageable.
Restore
Step away from the screen with yoga, meditation, sauna time, nourishing meals and space to breathe - because good ideas need room to land.
Grow
Leave with clarity, confidence and a stronger understanding of how your website works, plus the option of continued support as your business evolves.
