Transformative events for neurodivergent entrepreneurs
Broughton Sanctuary, 7th-11th March 2026
Are you ready to take your ideas further, connect with people who get you, and build the next stage of your business or project, without the overwhelm?
Wild Brains: The Assembly brings together neurodivergent entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers for five days of deep focus, shared learning, and genuine connection led by experienced neurodivergent leaders. Held in the extraordinary Broughton Sanctuary in Yorkshire, this experience is designed to help you level up your business in ways that feel authentic, sustainable, and true to your brain.
Why Wild Brains?
Running your own projects can feel isolating, overwhelming, or like running in circles. Wild Brains: The Assembly is your chance to gather with others like you — to learn, share, and return home with clarity, momentum, and new allies.
Shape your next chapter
Step away from your day-to-day routine and give yourself the space to think bigger about your business, your work, and your impact.
Learn from multiple perspectives
Explore themed days on marketing, content creation, and strategy, guided by neurodivergent mentors who understand that we often need very different approaches.
Discover practical tools you can actually use
Walk away with strategies that translate directly into your business—whether that’s building visibility, simplifying systems, or making more aligned offers.
Make the connections that matter
You’ll meet peers who could become collaborators, clients, or simply the support system you’ve been missing. We'll help facilitate connecting you with the people you need to know.
Invest in yourself and your work
This isn’t just another business retreat—it’s a rare opportunity to work on your business and yourself, in a supportive, neurodivergent-led environment.
Five days of ideas, strategies, and connections designed to move your business forward — without leaving your values behind.
What to Expect
And yes, some joy too!
Because connection and creativity fuel growth, expect opportunities to laugh, move, and celebrate what makes you, and your work, unique.
Is This for You?
While we welcome anyone who identifies as neurodivergent (no proof of diagnosis needed), you’ll get the most from Wild Brains: The Assembly if you are:
Running your own business or project — or dreaming of starting one
A creative or professional who wants to grow your visibility and impact
Someone ready to explore practical strategies alongside peers who understand your challenges
Looking for collaboration, accountability, or simply fresh ideas to move forward
Eager to align your work with your values, instead of trying to fit into someone else’s mould
If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to grow my business, but I can’t do it the ‘normal’ way” — this retreat is for you.

Inclusivity Statement
At Wild Brains: The Assembly, we believe we will only ever get the best out of ourselves and each other when we all feel safe, seen and welcome. This gathering is designed for wild brains of all kinds, and we are committed to creating a space where everyone can show up as themselves.
Our Commitment
We welcome people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, ages, body types, faiths (or none), neurotypes, abilities, and backgrounds. Your story, identity and needs matter here. We know that events can sometimes feel exclusionary and we are determined to make sure that The Assembly is welcoming to all. We are actively working to remove barriers and challenge assumptions so that whatever your needs may be, you know you belong in this space.
What You Can Expect
We’ll ask for your pronouns and any access or support needs shortly after registration so we can prepare with care. We also invite you to reach out to discuss these with the team even at the enquiry stage. No query is too small.
- We aim to make our spaces accessible for different mobility and sensory needs.
- We have secured funding for a small number of fully sponsored places for those with less financial freedom and are working on securing more.
- We hold a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment or hate of any kind.
- We strive for representation across speakers and content that reflects the breadth of our community.
- We are open to feedback before, during and after the event and committed to learning and improving.
A Shared Responsibility
We ask all attendees to treat one another with respect and openness. Listen, be kind, stay curious. If something causes concern, please speak to a member of the team. If you have any questions about inclusion or accessibility at the Wild Brains: The Assembly, please contact us and we will get back to you as soon as we are able.

The Accelerator Upgrade
Move from ideas to income faster — with a mentor who understands your neurodivergent brilliance and knows how to turn it into strategy.
With 1:1 mentoring, you won’t just get clear on your goals — you’ll gain momentum. Together, we’ll uncover what you actually want from your business (based on your values, not what you think you should want) and create a sustainable path to get there, along with accountability and support that moves things along faster than on your own.
Using the proven framework developed in my Spicy Business Brains program, I’ll help you create a business that works for you, sustains you, and that you’re immensely proud of.
£3000 inc VAT (£2500 ex VAT)
Your Accelerator Upgrade includes:
- Two private online mentoring sessions (before and after the retreat) to fast-track your growth – choose from Sam, G, Sara or Tobias
- Intimate small-group mastermind circles during The Assembly for personalised insights into your business
- A luxurious private room with en-suite at Broughton Hall — a space to fully rest and recharge
- A thoughtfully curated welcome package on arrival
- An intimate dinner with your retreat hosts — a relaxed evening to share stories, go deeper in conversation, and enjoy plenty of laughter together

What Others have said
Since 2024, Wild Brains retreats have brought together dozens of neurodivergent entrepreneurs, changemakers, and creatives. Here’s what they had to say:
I feel like I can be myself here.
I never knew how much l needed a week away from work to think about my work.
This was a truly fantastic experience for me. It meant the world to me to be inspired and listen to things that are so relatable.
My nervous system was just calm this week.
The first time in my life that I didn't care what people thought about me.
People were so respectful of each other and made sure everyone felt comfortable.
I wish I could bottle this feeling.
There is a sense of acceptance here that has enabled me to believe in my own acceptability.
I've had conversations that I've never had before, a different level and ease of communication that l've never felt elsewhere.
Ready to join us?
