Start, launch or grow your heart-centred business with an experienced mentor right by your side. Katie Rose will help you launch and sustain your work in the world, and be paid for doing what you love! Whether your business is online (like hers is now), bricks and mortar (she ran yoga studios for many years) or product based (she’s also had successful tea and essential oils businesses which she sold for a profit last year) - Katie will have your back!
Join us at any stage of your business growth. Perhaps all you have right now is an idea. Maybe you are hoping to expand a side hustle. Or you have an established business that needs to finally make some money! We will spend time refining your offers, clarify your positioning within your niche and help you get (back) on track!
What to expect
Honesty and clarity (with lots of kindness): I will look at your website, offers, systems, pricing and branding and give clear and actionable feedback and suggestions.
Technology: what to use, what to avoid and how to grow and scale a business
Social media: how to use it authentically and skilfully and leverage it to generate sales.
Connections and networking: I know a lot of people in this industry and I've made a lot of contacts over the years. If I can pull a few strings for you, I will.
Mindset: I juggle five kids, a successful business and a happy relationship. It’s full-on! Here, I will share my best strategies that will help you and your family thrive, too.
Leverage your skills to make a sustainable income and scale your business online and offline: I have grown Bhakti Rose over three years to fully support me and my family. Let's do the same for you.
Book ideas and marketing. I have published five books and the next one is coming out in 2024. Learn what a good book proposal looks like. We will discuss your ideas, the pathway to publishing and everything in-between. We can look at structuring your writing and I will offer guidance to get your book written.
The focus of the retreat will be adapted according to the needs of the group. Expect lots of individual attention. You will leave with clarity about your next steps and motivated to put all our work into action.
Bonus: In addition to the in-person training, your will receive access to Katie's 'Bhakti Business Express' online resources portal (valued at $497).

Accommodation Options
Krishna Village is located on a beautiful organic farm in the scenic foothills of Mt. Warning, half way between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. The closest town is Murwillumbah, and the nearest airport Coolangatta (the Gold Coast airport).
Our Retreat Center is spread out across a beautiful natural farm setting, which means that some of our facilities and accommodation require a bit of walking. We offer a range of accommodation options from camping spots to creatively renovated container rooms, private pine cabins set in the hills overlooking the valley and more.
The Krishna Farm
The Krishna Farm, "New Govardhana" serves as an ashram to a community of yogis who aspire to live according to their deepest vows and commitments on their path of service, spiritual contentment and happiness (Bhakti Yoga). Their service and dedication make this location a beautiful place of growth, healing and spiritual awakening. The temple is the beating heart of the community at New Govardhana and we encourage all who visit the property to come along and experience the lifestyle and philosophy reflected by the practice of Krishna consciousness.

What Katie's students have to say
I started working with Katie in the Bhakti Business Program only around a month ago and I am already seeing results. Not just in my figures, but in my clarity and confidence. I look forward to the weekly calls, and enjoy my time with other like-minded women. Thank you Katie for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us all. Nin Yoga offers two studio locations in Western Sydney and offers an extensive range of classes with a large team of teachers.
Annika Saigi ‧ Nin Yoga, St. Mary's & Penrith
Thank you Katie. Your help with my business has been visionary, pragmatic and easy to implement. It’s been really valuable to have somebody with crystal clear thinking to help cut through overwhelm and confusion and implement a practical step-by-step marketing and sales strategy for my offerings whilst maintaining integrity and alignment with my values. My first online crystal short course offerings sold out to 20 plus places each, and I had a fully booked shamanic healing retreat within 1 week of launching. Thanks, Katie for all your support.
