Wakelyns Business Retreat 2025

Join Jannine Barron : 11-14 May 2025

Since 2019, Jannine Barron has built a deep connection with the Wakelyns land and community.

She’s excited to share this bond at her upcoming Regenerative Business Retreat—the first of its kind in the UK.

For Jannine, agroforestry offers valuable lessons in team building, leadership, and innovation, encouraging businesses to learn from nature and bring new strategies back to their industries.

Her inspiration came during an early morning Wakelyns walk last summer where she asked: “How can non-farm businesses adapt the core principles of agroecology—harmony with nature, reduced inputs, and a holistic, systems-based approach—to their own operations?”

A pioneer in the organic business sector in Australia for over 30 years, Jannine brought her expertise to the UK in 2020. She mentors businesses through transformative times with a regenerative approach. Guided by interconnectedness and social responsibility, she weaves sustainability and community resilience into her mentoring programs like The Growth Experience and Nature’s Boardroom, helping entrepreneurs align their businesses with core values and sustainable growth.

Jannine now invites you to a unique business and life retreat designed to reconnect you with the land as your teacher. Step away from routine and immerse yourself in a gentle, inspiring environment that blends guided walks, storytelling, and deep rest. With this thoughtful approach, business strategies will emerge naturally, guided by the wisdom of nature.

At the heart of Jannine’s work is a desire to help you thrive, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. As a regenerative guide, she leads the way toward a future where businesses are thriving, interconnected, and sustainable.
