A retreat for creative women in business who need a bloody break
South Coast NSW · 23–25 October 2026
Whimsy Weekend
You are so bloody tired
To give creative women in a weekend that sparks their creativity while also, giving you a fkn break!
I talk to so many creative women in business who are so good at what they do and are utterly cooked. Like feel like you've been sitting in an air fryer for the last 5 months and are now a crispy little burn out potato.
You can't remember the last time you did something just because it was fun, not because it might turn into content.
That's what this weekend is for
What we're doing
No pressure to work or learn, just whimsy with other creative women.
We're going to spend the weekend just being, not performing for the grid or turning every second into content. No workbooks. No 46 things to implement. Just being a bit ridiculous and a bit whimsical and seeing what happens when you're not trying to sell anything.
There'll be some writing. There'll be some content stuff too, if you want it, but no pressure and no strategy homework. Mostly there'll be pizza and wine and a highland coo and a room full of women who actually get what it's like to run a creative business.
That's the question, isn't it? When was the last time you did something just because it was fun?
You've spent all year being productive. Come be completely fucking unproductive with us for a weekend.
- A full weekend of whimsy and a proper break, the kind that shifts how you actually feel about showing up, not just what you post.
- Inspiring creative activities that will leave you feeling joy and happy, not stressed out over another unfinished project.
- A long lunch amongst the vines at Cambewarra Estate.
- Pizza by the fire.
- Midnight margaritas.
- ALL FOOD, SNACKS, DRINKS, TREATS INCLUDED
- A whimsical evening to relax, connect and have some fkn fun.
- An actual Whimsy Club meeting, in real life, with real people.
- Meet with my favourite animals by the mountain, the highland coo's!
How you'll feel when you leave
Rested. Like an actual person again, not just a business owner.
There's a version of this where you come home lighter. You laughed until your stomach hurt. You did something just because it was fun.
It feels good to have a weekend that wasn't about anyone else.
Being reminded of WHO YOU ARE and why you are AMAZING.
A spark ignited to lean into your whimsy and fkn OWN who you are.
The experience
A place that already
feels like yours.
Two nights at the stunning Rose and Barn Cottages on the South Coast. It's the kind of place that feels like home the second you walk in. Warm and held and cosy in a way that makes you feel like you can finally breathe.
The whole weekend is built around one thing, giving you permission to just be. Every conversation, every session, every meal is pointed at the same thing. Helping you remember what whimsy feels like.
Who is this for
You have so many creative ideas, but can't ever get to them because you are so bloody tired.
You really feel like frolicing in a field like a fairy or dipping your head in a creek sound divine.
You don't want another retreat that sends you home with a workbook and 46 things to implement.
You want someone else to organise the weekend for once.
You've seen the Whimsy Club stuff and thought, yes, that, I want that in real life.
You want your people. Women who get it, who you can be a bit feral with and not have to explain yourself.
You want to do something creative that doesn't need to become a post or a product.
You want to come away from a weekend feeling full. Not burnt out.
That's you right? come!
If you're looking for a purely academic experience with no room to breathe, laugh, eat good food and be a little bit human about where you're at, this probably isn't it.
And if you've got a stick so far up your ass you can't be silly and open and a little bit honest about where you're actually at... also probably not it 😅
Men 🙊
Who is this NOT for
23-25 October 2026
South Coast NSW
A few things to know
- All of it. Breakfast bar each morning, lunch and dinner both nights, snacks, tea, coffee and drinks throughout. You just show up.
Where is it?
- Cambewarra Village on the NSW South Coast, about 15 minutes from Berry or Kangaroo Valley. The kind of drive that already starts to feel like a reset before you even arrive.
Do I need to be established?
- No. This isn't designed for photographers or any one industry, and it's not a strategy bootcamp. It's a weekend to breathe, be a bit whimsical, and reconnect with why you started. If you're a creative woman who needs a proper break, you're in the right place.
What's a Whimsy Club meeting?
- Exactly what it sounds like. A proper get together with women who get it, where the vibe matters more than the agenda. We'll have one while we're away, just for us.
Is accommodation included?
- Yes. You get your choice of your own private room or shared room with your own bed. Everything is taken care of.
Is there a payment plan?
- Yes. You can choose to pay in full or spread it across 10 weekly payments, with everything settled by September 18.
How big will the group be?
- I have kept the group small and considered so we all have time to learn, interact and have space.
What happens if I need to cancel?
- Your deposit and payments are not refundable. If you cancel within 60 days of the event, the full balance is owed if you can't make it. However, you are welcome to transfer your spot to someone else for a $100 admin fee, just flick me a message.
Growing up I thought I was just a really good liar. I once convinced my mum I needed glasses to the point where she got me actual glasses with clear lenses in them. She even brought them to school when I forgot them at home.
I forgot about needing them entirely the following term.
It turns out I wasn't lying. I was just telling stories.
That's what I want to give you this weekend. Not a content strategy. Not three pillars to abide by. The ability to look at your own life and see it as proof of exactly who you are and why your dream
clients have been searching for
someone like you. I want to sit
with you, hold space for you,
and help you figure out how to
tell all of this without it feeling like you're selling out or using the vulnerable parts of your life to make money.
And then I want to have a long lunch with you amongst the vines, eat pizza, drink wine and beer and just have the best bloody time.
I really hope you can come!
big love, Laani

That's what I want to give you this weekend. Not a strategy or a to-do list, just a proper break and the chance to remember why you started all of this in the first place, with a bit of whimsy thrown in for good measure.
I want to sit with you, hold space for you, and just have the best time. We'll frolic in a field, meet a highland coo, write something just because it's fun, and laugh way too hard at something that isn't even that funny.
