About this event

From Inner Power to Outer Presence

A mini-retreat and photoshoot for visionary leaders ready to reconnect to their vision, shift from performance into authenticity, and let their leadership shine—inside and out.

This is the antidote to overly polished headshots and awkward photoshoots. It’s for leaders who want to be truly seen—not just styled.

Why Book This Experience

This is not just a photoshoot. It’s a guided pause in your leadership journey—a moment of reflection, alignment, and embodiment before the camera ever clicks.

You’ll reconnect to:

  • Your vision for your company, team, or mission
  • The impact you’re here to make
  • The leader you are becoming

In that state of inner connection and clarity, your portrait will capture the real you—rooted, confident, and deeply aligned.

You’ll leave with:

  • A portrait that’s not just professional—it’s powerful
  • A moment of calm and clarity in your busy leadership journey
  • Grounded confidence that ripples into everything you do next

What We’ll Cover

The Flow:

  • Arrive & Ground – Tea, snacks, and light breathwork to arrive in presence
  • Connect to Your Vision – Guided visualisation and reflective space for vision collage, journaling, or sketching
  • Capture Your Portrait – In an aligned state, have your portrait taken—real, joyful, present
  • Leave with Clarity – Go home with a renewed sense of direction and presence

What You’ll Receive:

  • 2-hour guided mini-retreat with breathwork, visualisation, and reflection
  • 10-minute professional portrait session while your clarity is fresh
  • Journaling / vision-collage supplies and a take-home prompt booklet
  • Calm Central London venue with natural light, artisan teas & snacks
  • Intimate group size (max 12) for personalised attention
  • After the event: Two retouched, high-resolution portraits (option to purchase more), integration guide, and preferred-pricing perks on future Gather & Grow programmes and team shoots

Who Should Attend:

  • Founders and entrepreneurs ready for a refreshed, authentic brand image
  • Visionary leaders seeking more presence in how they show up
  • Anyone wanting a portrait that reflects who they truly are
