Who Should Attend?
For many women, feeling ‘seen’ can sometimes be challenging. This feeling of invisibility is deeply rooted in historical, societal, and psychological factors and often stems from a complex interplay of unconscious fears and systemic barriers.
It’s something that many women struggle with as they approach midlife, perhaps feeling that they’ve reached a crossroads, both professionally and personally.
At BTB, we recognise that the struggle is not merely about physical presence or the volume of your voice. It’s about being heard. It’s about having your experiences and ideas acknowledged, recognised and valued.
And we firmly believe it’s a struggle that can be overcome.
This Retreat is specifically designed for those women who are ready to break through barriers and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Through fun, friendship with likeminded professional women, and powerful therapeutic activities, it offers the support and guidance to create a life that reflects your true worth and limitless potential.
In the idyllical surroundings of this stunning Caribbean island, this transformative course will leave you empowered, connected, and ready to take on the world. You will leave equipped with the tools to own your voice, claim your value, and unapologetically shine.

Artemis Movement
We are very pleased to be able to offer you the Artemis Porgramme as part of your morning routine. This is much, much more than yoga and is a living, breathing, moving philosophy that influences posture, attitude, and wellbeing.
Through the classes, together with your instructor you will support each other in maintaining a health base line through Artemis’s six pillars of wellness:
-
SLEEP
-
HYDRATION
-
NOURISH
-
MOVE
-
RECOVER
-
EVOLVE
The Artemis approach incorporates the latest anatomical and neurological data into a practice that is safe and intuitive. It is also a practice that values psychological health. That means valuing a practice of honouring and owning our own process. We endeavour to pause before we say something regretful. We learn to acknowledge our emotional temperature and to regulate it.
We also focus on what our values are. What do each of us, from our varied collective background carry with us? What serves us from the past and what is clearly important for us to let go of? We give ourselves the opportunity to separate what is important from what is simply not.
We value this logical process of self-enquiry, we learn to trust each other so that we feel valued enough to speak our truth, and courageous enough to listen. In this way we become more responsible for who we are and what we get to offer that is uniquely creative and exclusively us.
We are a work in process, a spiralling circumambulation towards wholeness instead of linear development.
