YOUR HEART CRAVES
R-E-V-I-V-A-L
As a daughter of the King and CEO, you have been summoned to live a vibrant and exciting adventure with the holy-spirit every single day - but quite possibly it's been awhile since you've been able to let your hair down and truly immerse yourself in those moments of pure + wild joy, adrenaline, adventure and thrill (as well as DREAM AUDACIOUSLY for your business).
You've forgotten how to live a truly
adventurous & audacious life
as women, we tend to be slaves to comfort and routine...
and although it can often be good, it can also kill the adventurous spirit that God gave us and has desired us to embrace under the excuse of monotony, overwhelm and everyday life.
Pure Joy. Pure Love.
Pure Purpose.
PURE ADVENTURE.
Maybe you've become too obsessed with working on your business that you have forgotten how to have fun and relax because your business, clients, email inbox, marketing, etc. is ALWAYS on your mind.
Maybe you're a WAHM who has forgotten the girl of her youth and has been surviving under the everyday pressures of being an entrepreneur, cook, house cleaner, wife, and mom - and you're in desperate need of some FUN.
Maybe you need to be REFRESHED - and truly have a big dreaming session with God where your business + family vision becomes illuminated and your heart awakens with excitement again.
Maybe you crave a true community of holy-spirit led women who have BOLD CALLINGS and you need the encouragement, wisdom, fellowship and pillow talk with like-minded sisters who understand the weight of being a CEO.
It's Your Time to Arise & Shine...Think About This..
You don’t have to live in fear of making BIG AUDACIOUS business decisions - you've trained your heart & mind to embrace leaps of faith with COURAGE + EXCITEMENT.
Instead of going home feeling overfed on nasty resort food and little movement - you feel healthy + vibrant from swimming in the blue-zone salt water, PURE whole-foods and holy-spirit centered movement + breathwork.
Instead of feeling misunderstood by the boss babes and manifestation "godesses," you have a REAL sisterhood of holy-spirit filled TRUTH-SEEKING women!
Instead of defaulting to a fixed mindset and thinking of all the reasons you "can't" do something (like travel internationally) - you embrace the GROWTH MINDSET God designed you for and start doing the DARN thing!
You don't have to worry about next year, you have a clear and audacious plan with a custom path for 6-figure scaling in your business.
You don't have to settle and keep quieting those dreams in your heart & soul - you start taking bold action with the help and support of your soul-sisters!
You don't have to settle for a boring "adult" vacation where you sit the whole time and don't leave your resort - you get to LIVE and EXPERIENCE ADVENTURE like you did as a child (+ leave refreshed).
Trauma, insecurity, heart-sickness and mental blocks don't have to be the norm - REVIVAL, HEALING + HOPE awaits on the other side of saying YES to the adventure that God called you to!
a true pura vida adventure is waiting...
and I can't wait to share my LOVE of Costa Rica with you <3.
MBA, PODCASTER, FAITH-BASED BIZ COACH, LAUNCH EXPERT & EX-PHOTOGRAPHER
In 2013, I dove into the world of entrepreneurship after being fired for refusing to compromise my beliefs and act unethical. I ended up building and scaling a local photography business for the next 6 years, and jumped into the online education & coaching world in 2018 when I felt like God told me to close my business and build something new.
That next year I turned away over 250 inquiries and $20k months so I could build my online programs and teach other women how to build businesses like I did.
Now, I'm a multiple 6-Figure biz owner whos enrolled $200k+ in 2-Weeks and believes in using a mix of HOLISTIC LIVE + PASSIVE EVERGREEN STRATEGIES that convert. I love Jesus, am a wife of an ex-ski bum, mama to 3 feisty kiddos, COSTA RICA SURF LOVER and I help holy-spirit filled coaches use testimony marketing to create epic offers and scale their businesses while in courageous alignment with God's calling. I’m {OB-SESSED} with helping others work less, make more and create a life of purpose + freedom so they can do whatever the heck they feel called to do - like…
A holy-spirit led WILD ADVENTURE RETREAT designed to get you out of your comfort zone + wake up that vibrant heart so you can dare to lead as the CEO you've been called to be...

Dreams & First Client $600+, 2nd Client $2000+
I’m so thankful I decided to take the plunge and become one of Ashley June’s signature students and invest in my business! My husband and I knew taking this step would require some major sacrifices but we were convinced it would be completely and utterly worth it. One of the first things Ashley told me was, ‘this girl is going to make it’. She believed in me from the very beginning and had the confidence I desperately needed...So much is unspoken here because Ashley went WAY above and beyond to help me achieve this goal. With her ‘what you see is what you get’. This woman is just as genuine on the inside as she is on the outside. Her heart is for you and the success of your business. Please don’t put off your dreams, if I knew how much peace I’d have now I honestly think I would have joined sooner! I have so much more clarity and vision for my business than I’ve ever had before. My word for 2020 is ‘bloom’ and I couldn’t be more excited!

A beautiful modern house located steps from the beach, overlooking the ocean with the perfect space to host a large group. We have a pool, hot tub, cold plunge, luxury outdoor showers, grapefruit + plantain trees, monkey visitors, 500 meters of trails and more!
$9,000 CLIENT! Signed 10 Clients & Best Business Decision EVER made!
I took a fast paced workshop with Ashley and it became so much easier to organize my time, workflows and tasks. Pricing became super clear. The tools she gives her students are absolutely priceless, it would take me another 20 years in business to figure it out on my own, as I am definitely not a business person myself. I decided to purchase the self paced course, and seriously, it is amazing. I get to have personal sessions with her, feedback and I can do things on my own time. It's been really fantastic and I finally feel like everything is finally more organized and coming together as a business and brand! 
SUPER recommended!

Booked 14 Clients From ONE MARKETING CAMPAIGN! Avg. Sale $1300+!
"I found Ashley's program when I was still working full time teaching photography at a public high school, unsure as to when I would be going full time with photography. Shortly after starting the program (around March) both my husband and I received confirmation from the Lord that it was to be my last year teaching and I would move into full time photography after finishing out the year. I was excited, but it was a little nerve-wracking and surreal. I would have had NO IDEA where to start if I hadn't decided to do the Photo Bloom program with Ashley! It helped me set a proper foundation, make sure I was setting things up correctly as a business and giving my clients the proper experience. The photography part I knew I could handle....but that business part is another story. How would I start getting clients and letting people know I exist and that they need my services? (I am a very specialized niche of custom boutique pet & equine photography). Since starting the program this past spring, I built my business on a strong foundation, booked my first clients and now in October have a fully booked schedule. My average sale per client that I have had so far is about $1300. When my first client ever exceeded my goal of $1600 per client I was beyond encouraged that this IS something I can do. I decided to schedule holiday themed mini sessions for October. With Ashley's coaching and following the marketing calendar outlined in the program I fully booked ALL 11 of my sessions plus one additional by the last day of Pre-Registration. From that I also booked 2 regular sessions... so that's 14 clients total from that campaign. Needless to say, the initial investment I made in this program has been WELL worth it."

First Off, This is a PRICELESS Experience.
We ALL have things that we value.
Costa Rica is actually an incredibly affordable place to visit - especially for international vacations during this time of year.
And...
Often it's not that we can't afford something, but it's more so we don't value it. So let me ask you a few questions.
What do you value?
Do you value being held accountable to get things done?
Do you value $5/day coffee habits?
Do you value the time/money lost by not finishing things?
Do you value generational wealth for your family?
Do you value making wise investments that multiply?
Do you value feeling VIBRANT & ALIVE?!!
We also have ALL sorts of things that we spend and waste $$$ on. From car payments to keep up with the Jones', Disney Trips that end up supporting corrupt company practices, "LUXURY" vacations where we go home only to feel sick and tired....
The put in perspective...
When was the last time you invested in an experience meant to truly rejuvenate your BUSINESS + MIND + BODY + SOUL?

"Where do I even begin!? I absolutely loved going through Ashley’s program and learning so much about how to make my business more profitable! She is hands-down the best coach and super committed to her students. She is also highly knowledgeable of the industry, marketing, sales and so much more...Because of the demand, I was able to raise my prices and needless to say I have had my best year yet!!! I highly recommend Ashley and her program! It works!"
Alyssa
FIRST CLIENT was OVER $2000 and brought in 10x what she previously made!
"I’ll be honest; I was a skeptic. I feel awkward about “selling,” and I’m an introvert and a BUSY mom who had been trying to fit my business into the corners and cracks of my life. BUT, I wasn’t getting the number or type of clients OR the income that I wanted, so I was willing to give it all a go...I decided that I was going to buckle down and treat my business more like a BUSINESS, and Ashley provided the structure I needed with the Bloom course. I am working through the course slowly (probably slower than most) - but it has already paid for itself! My first sale after starting the course was more than 10X my average sale price before starting the course - and I’m not even done with the course yet! ... My first client after implementing the lessons from the course nearly covered the entire cost of the course. And that is just my new beginning! ... It feels amazing to develop my business in a way that fits “me” - something that fuels me and that I am proud of in a way that my business wasn’t doing before."

Not only is God on the move here... but Nosara is one of the most beautiful and vibrant areas of Costa Rica which offers a truly luxurious + rustic feel. It's a world renowned surf + wellness destination with a budding ex-pat community, excellent culinary cuisine, and is located close to many beaches. Playa Guiones, where we are staying, is filled with the LOCAL TICO VIBE and home to beautiful sunsets, plant + wildlife and more. You will not be disappointed to visit one of the most off-the-grid, yet luxurious surf towns in the world (especially with your holy-spirit filled CEO besties!). You will also love the Costa Rican people. They are kind, filled with joy and are always so helpful!

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR & HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?
This retreat is for holy-spirit led women business owners who NEED AN ADVENTURE
This retreat is for the woman who feels like life is boring or craves some excitement...For the woman who is stuck in the day to day and wants to remember what it's like to have fun again. It's for the woman who knows she needs to feel alive in order to thrive, and who is ready to embrace adventure (even though it may be out of her comfort zone or feel a little scary or intense).
This retreat isn't NEW AGE or MANIFESTATION focused, it's based on Biblical truth!
Usually when you sign up for international retreats there is WOO WOO and all things embodiement/manifestation oriented. I want this retreat to be the exact opposite. While we will be engaging in holy-spirit led movement and breathwork, it will be Biblically sound and focused on Christ instead of false lies like "you're a goddess."
We do Business From a Biblical Worldview
In my core, I believe that biz owners fail to set up a proper foundation in almost every area of their business - and that's exactly why they don't enroll clients or bring in sales. They also fail to plan, which is why we are going to radically transform your business this year - all while staying in biblical alignment and building a business that doesn't feel icky.
Most Christian Women's Retreats are BORING
Okay - I don't totally think this...but I never see retreats that are focused on just having fun. They are all about quietly sitting in prayer and spending your days chatting + in devotionals as the "dainty" women we are. I love that stuff don't get me wrong, but I also think you experience God in such a different way when you get to experience his creation! Which is why I'm excited to host an adventure retreat in one of the most beautiful places in the world that is meant to bring out the VIBRANT, RADIANT WOMAN God created you to be.
You're being taught by an MBA
My education has prepared me to be a great business owner and educator. Having a Masters in Business Administration (with an emphasis in Managing for Sustainability), as well as having an undergraduate degree in Business Management - has given me all of the proven results-oriented educational tools and principles that I pass onto you. YUP - YOU WILL BASICALLY BE GETTING AN MBA EDUCATION!
Meet Hannah
Our Retreat Coordinator & Movement Leader
I met Hannah in Nosara in November 2021 - and we just knew God was in it! I was fascinated by her mission, and that was to take MOVEMENT BACK in the Yoga world and truly honor Christ by taking what was meant for evil and turning it to good - which was God's original design for movement in the first place (but we know how Satan likes to decieve).
I was overjoyed when Hannah became a student of mine in The Selah Collective - and soon after we started talking about planning the Costa Rica retreat I have been dreaming of for years. And here we are...
A modern day nomad, Holy Spirit-filled yoga instructor and aspiring surfer, Hannah is no stranger to “going with the flow” and leading others to do the same. At the end 2019, she left her stable corporate career in international marketing, sales & management to follow a calling from God to travel the world and transform lives through inner healing, movement, breath & prayer. She now spends a lot of her time in Costa Rica facilitating surf & wellness retreats, along with leading outreach efforts to vulnerable communities through an organization called Wholeness Journey.
Hannah will help to move things along during the Audacious retreat. She can be seen coordinating the flow of events throughout the day, leading morning movement sessions & group workshops, and facilitating intentional conversation circles. She is also very familiar with the area, so she’s your go-to girl for all things Costa Rica! As a sister, friend, and follower of Christ, she is there for you on the journey to seek more of God on this adventure to elevate your business!
What Retreats With Ashley June Are Like...
A: Wednesday, October 18-Tuesday, October 24, 2023. You will fly into LIBERIA (LIR) in Costa Rica on Wednesday, October 18th. We have 2 vehicles that will be there to pick up groups during the afternoon/early evening. We will then drive 2.5 hours south to Playa Guiones (near Nosara) where the retreat will be located. We will drive you back to the airport in Liberia on the morning of Tuesday, October 24.
FLIGHT/SHUTTLE PRICES - Flight prices vary, but typically if you can find something between $400-600 roundtrip, that is pretty standard pricing from most US locations from what I have seen. You are responsible for your own flight (and shuttle if you are unable to hop into our cars). Shuttles tend to be between $50-$150 each way, but you will most likely be able to ride with us if you have standard flight times!
ONCE YOU REGISTER - We can talk about flight times so you can make sure to catch one of our cars. If you are unable to catch one of our cars, there are regular shuttles from Liberia to Nosara, and San Jose to Nosara (we can give you booking details for these).
A: Maybe! We have to adapt to the unique retreat houses that we are staying in and it also depends how many women attend. There will be some bed-sharing with soul sisters - but usually only in King Size beds. Once we get closer to the retreat we look at sleeping preferences and try to be as fair + thoughtful as we can. This home will mostly only have a 2-3 ladies per room though, so there will be plenty of space and you should be very comfortable. There is also a TON of outdoor space where we should be able to spread out and have quiet time + privacy as needed.
A: We will provide a packing list well in advance! But bathing suits, water sandals, light dresses + beach wear, tennis shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. tends to be the norm.
A: The rainy season will be winding down - but we can never guarantee. Usually when we travel to Costa Rica it only rains in spurts - rarely does it rain all day. October/November is actually a very pleasant time to travel there because it's not the high-season, and everything is very green + beautiful! It's still HOT - but not as dusty and very pleasant!
A: Not at all! When we get closer to the trip, we will ask the ladies who wants to do what. I understand if not everyone wants to take a surfing lesson or go on a zipline - so you will have the freedom to opt out of excursions. However, we do encourage you to take some risks and get out of your comfort zone.
If you are unable to swim, or struggle with swimming - there will be options! But you don't have to do anything that you are totally uncomfortable doing.
A: NO!!! We will be doing movement and breathwork. Some of the movements will feel similar, but my goal is truly for all movement and the experience to be completely holy-spirit led and not incorporate new age practices at all. We are very sensitive to the new age spirits and want to make sure to honor God in all movements! My hope is also to get you out of your mind and into your body again - which is why we will be incorporating daily movement to heal you nervous system, wake your body up and honestly, just feel refreshed!
A: This is for coaches, course creators, and small biz owners (like photographers). Honestly, all women CEOS! I have a large audience that I have built throughout the years and want to invite you all. Everything we will be doing will be valuable and interchangeable regardless if you own a local or online business.
A: I don't. You are also responsible for the whole investment if you choose the payment plan option. We believe in self-responsibility, accountability and honoring financial commitments. We do not make exceptions.
HOWEVER - your ticket is transferrable to another person upon approval.
AND...if something happens like an emergency, there are affordable trip insurance resources with will share with you closer to the retreat date (which isn't a bad idea to have when you travel internationally anyway).
A: Yes, this is something you will want to work on ASAP! On average it takes 6-8 weeks to come in, but you have plenty of time to get this going right away. We will also help direct you to the right resources for these types of questions.
A: We are still working on this! We will be eating out at least 1x a day which will be your financial responsibility (maybe plan for $15-30/day). We usually help make some meals as a group and then also will most likely bring a cook into the house to cook some meals as well. We all typically help with kitchen clean up duties, but they tend to be minimal.
Also, we can accommodate different food allergies, etc. and will be eating a very healthy diet as is since there is so much fresh food in Costa Rica.
WATER: Costa Rica generally has safe drinking water. We will be diving into this more about this specific home, but don't worry - you shouldn't get sick and/or we will provide filtered options if we need to.
A: No! Costa Rica is a very safe country. There is petty theft at times, but the home we are staying has security. It's always good to bring less when you do go to the beach and what not, but I do think with the number of women we have that we won't have any issues.
A: Girl!!! I am so excited for you - this is a HUGE deal! Know that I get the fear. Also know that you are strong enough + brave enough to conquer that fear. And you will have SO much help to figure it all out.
When you travel internationally, you can expect a few things.
Customs: When you fly into Costa Rica you will have to go through Customs after you land. They will look at your passport, ask you if you are bringing anything into the country, and then run your luggage through a scanner. This can take about an hour give or take - but fortunately, Liberia is a great airport to fly into because it's not that big. When you leave Costa Rica, you will pay a departure tax of around $30 (but sometimes it's included in your flight). You will go through Customs again when you land back in the USA.
Cash/Money: In Costa Rica, they use Colones. As of writing this, 1 US Dollar = 537.5506 Costa Rica Colon. However, they accept USD CASH everywhere. Usually they will take cash and then give you colones as change. I recommend carrying some cash on you as a pre-caution and for other expenditures. But I also recommend getting a credit card that has NO FOREIGN EXCHANGE FEES (I use the CapitalOne Venture Card). I can explain this more later!
Phone/Internet: Many USA phone providers give you basic international coverage in Costa Rica as well as basic data/text. You can contact your phone company for details. If that doesn't work, you can purchase a SIM card to pop in your phone. But, there will also be WIFI in most places if you need to connect somewhere. We will probably create a WhatsApp group channel for the trip, and then for the GPS, WAZE is very accurate. Regardless, you will be the group at all times so you won't have to worry about this too much and we will also provide more information about this.
A: Wednesday, October 18-Tuesday, October 24, 2023. You will fly into LIBERIA (LIR) in Costa Rica on Wednesday, October 18th. We have 2 vehicles that will be there to pick up groups during the afternoon/early evening. We will then drive 2.5 hours south to Playa Guiones (near Nosara) where the retreat will be located. We will drive you back to the airport in Liberia on the morning of Tuesday, October 24.
NEED TO FLY INTO SAN JOSE (SJO)?? A few of us will be flying into San Jose on Tuesday, October 18th, and then driving to Liberia. We could accommodate a couple of people. However, if you need to fly out of San Jose when you go home, you would need to book a shuttle (which is very easy as well). After you register, contact us if this is what you are wanting to do.
FLIGHT/SHUTTLE PRICES - Flight prices vary, but typically if you can find something between $400-600 roundtrip, that is pretty standard pricing from most US locations from what I have seen. You are responsible for your own flight (and shuttle if you are unable to hop into our cars). Shuttles tend to be between $50-$150 each way, but you will most likely be able to ride with us if you have standard flight times!

They will look at your passport, ask you if you are bringing anything into the country, and then run your luggage through a scanner. This can take about an hour give or take - but fortunately, Liberia is a great airport to fly into because it's not that big. When you leave Costa Rica, you will pay a departure tax of around $30 (but sometimes it's included in your flight). You will go through Customs again when you land back in the USA.
Cash/Money: In Costa Rica, they use Colones. As of writing this, 1 US Dollar = 537.5506 Costa Rica Colon. However, they accept USD CASH everywhere. Usually they will take cash and then give you colones as change. I recommend carrying some cash on you as a pre-caution and for other expenditures. But I also recommend getting a credit card that has NO FOREIGN EXCHANGE FEES (I use the CapitalOne Venture Card). I can explain this more later!
Phone/Internet: Many USA phone providers give you basic international coverage in Costa Rica as well as basic data/text. You can contact your phone company for details. If that doesn't work, you can purchase a SIM card to pop in your phone. But, there will also be WIFI in most places if you need to connect somewhere. We will probably create a WhatsApp group channel for the trip, and then for the GPS, WAZE is very accurate. Regardless, you will be the group at all times so you won't have to worry about this too much and we will also provide more information about this.
I truly can't even explain to you how excited I am to take you to COSTA RICA!
My husband and I have been traveling all-around the country since 2011 when we got married - and piece of our heart is here.
I know you will love it too - and get to experience Jesus in a way that you haven't been able to in a long time.
You were meant to do more than just participate in a weekly Bible Study - you were meant to live audaciously with the Holy Spirit!
AND...you were also meant to to find your TRIBE of audacious women who are passionate about building their businesses as a ministry while being present for their families....
A PURA VIDA adventure of a lifetime is just what you need. I can't wait to see you in Costa Rica, my sister!
