Why A Retreat
The more successful the business, the less space there is to think. Five days away, with founders at your level, to make the decisions that change its trajectory.
What you leave with





















In Their Own Words
Strategy matters. So does the calibre of the women beside you, the conversations that continue after dinner and the space to see your business differently.
“Dawn doesn't just coach — she rewires how you see your business and yourself. I left with a sharper model and a bigger vision.”
“The strategy, support and momentum created by Dawn's room.”
“Dawn creates a space where founders can be fully honest about where they are — and walk away with the exact moves to scale next.”
“What it feels like to grow alongside ambitious women with strategy and support.”
The Journey
A sample rhythm, shaped around the founders in the room.

From Our Most Recent Retreat
This was my fifth retreat with Dawn — which says a lot. Every retreat creates a transformation for me, both personally and professionally.
I arrived feeling like I had too much on my plate and no clear direction on where to start. I left with my strategy mapped, clear steps to take and a real sense of where I'm going. For the first time, I can genuinely see how my business can grow and expand beyond the level I'm at now.
The women Dawn brings together are incredibly supportive, helpful and non-judgemental, and many have become friends for life.
For me, Mykonos was the best retreat yet. If you have the opportunity to join one of Dawn's retreats, don't think twice.

Jasmina Connelly
September 2026 Retreat
This was my fourth retreat with Dawn and, once again, it was an amazing experience.
I arrived feeling overwhelmed and left with clarity. The retreat helped me recognise exactly what needed to change in my business so I can scale it again, and since coming home I've already got my team in order.
I always strive to embody Dawn's outlook and attitude towards life, and the more time I spend around her, the more I'm able to do that myself.
There's something incredibly powerful about stepping away, getting perspective and being surrounded by women who are thinking bigger.

Madison Hollimon
September 2026 Retreat
The Mykonos retreat was a real opportunity to reset physically and mentally while having fun with an amazing group of women.
I arrived feeling scattered and left focused. The diversity of the women in the room gave me different perspectives, and I came home much more action-orientated and clear about where to put my energy.
One of my biggest moments was receiving the word 'Abundance'. It became an acknowledgement of where I am now, but also of what I'm creating next.
I left ready for focused action.

Chitzel Ortega
September 2026 Retreat
I came to Mykonos feeling complacent in my business. I left empowered and challenged to step up and go to the next level.
During the mastermind sessions, Dawn shared her business development playbook and I had a huge realisation: I'd actually been thinking in the right direction, but I'd been holding myself back by staying comfortable.
Dawn gave me the clarity and motivation to see that my goals are attainable — and that I'm much closer than I realised.
My biggest mindset shift was recognising that my goal of $1 million annually was actually too small. I need to stop thinking only about revenue and start thinking about building wealth.
I had an AMAZING time. The entire experience was beautiful, enlightening and exactly the push I needed.

Latricia Trice
September 2026 Retreat
Dawn's retreat is by far the best business retreat I've been to.
It is the perfect blend of business strategy, creating a business in alignment with the life you actually desire, neuroscience, energetics, personal growth and an incredible community — all against the backdrop of a beautiful, luxurious and unforgettable location.
I arrived feeling 'meh'. I left activated.
My biggest breakthrough happened during my 1:1 with Dawn. I realised that nothing has to change with my law business — I can simply leave it there while stepping fully into what I know I'm here to do: write books, speak and build my personal brand.
Mykonos felt strangely like coming home, and afterwards I realised why: I was coming home to myself.
There has been a seismic shift in me since the retreat. It is no longer business as usual. My standards have changed, my sense of urgency has changed and I'm no longer willing to stay comfortable with not having the life and experiences I know I desire.

Wani Iris Manly
September 2026 Retreat
Dawn's retreats are life-changing.
I arrived feeling burdened but hopeful, and I left with a renewed sense of purpose.
The morning mastermind sessions created so many personal breakthroughs for me and reminded me that the world is vast and there are incredible opportunities everywhere.
I've come away ready to take that energy forward and launch a new business.
I loved the entire experience.

Time away from the day-to-day to work on your business rather than in it — strategy sessions, expert mentoring and a small group of peers in an inspiring location. DREAMLIFE™ Strategise & Energise Retreats are luxury business retreats for female founders in Europe — Lake Como, Italy and Ibiza, Spain in 2027 — led by business growth strategist Dawn McGruer.
Lake Como Ascend, 21–25 June 2027, and Ibiza Thrive, 7–11 September 2027. Both are five days and four nights.
$5,555, or three payments of $1,888. It includes luxury villa accommodation, all strategy sessions, 1:1 time with Dawn, yoga and breathwork, gourmet meals, the sunset boat day and founder dinners. Flights and transfers are booked separately.
Established founders, most already running six or seven-figure businesses. The group is kept small so the room is peer-level and everyone gets personal time with Dawn.
Both, by design. Mornings are strategy — revenue, offers, pricing and your 90-day plan. Afternoons restore your energy so the decisions stick when you get home.
Book directly through the secure checkout, or book a call with Dawn first. Cancellation and transfer terms are confirmed in writing when you book; travel insurance is strongly recommended.
