‘I was trying to think of something that encapsulated everything that I wanted to bring into an experience or event and what I was all about. It literally downloaded and it came from me, and it was like that is it, it evokes all of the senses. I guess through all of my experiences I do try and tick all the boxes in terms of tapping into all of our senses and making sure that there is elements of an event or experience or retreat that really come to life for those attending that sparks all of our senses through food, and through scent and through visual.’ ~ Emily Mills
In this week’s interview, we step into a world of enriching experiences with our Soulful Long Lunch Series host Emily Mills who explains the harmonious blend of connection, inspiration, nourishment, and wellness. Emily shares how this carefully crafted series invites you to embark on a transformative journey that nurtures your body, stimulates your mind, and soothes your soul. And we invite you to join us at one of these extraordinary events.
Emily is the Founder and Owner of Evoke Experiences. Her love of authentic experiences, long lunching and holistic wellness are the seeds from which the Soulful Long Lunch Series was born.
Emily has had an extensive and varied career as an Event Manager, overseeing major sports and lifestyle events around Australia and eventually forming her own company to curate boutique-styled events for corporate, luxury and wellness groups.
It hasn’t been a straight and paved path, with many diversions including time spent in the corporate city life working in advertising and marketing, a 5-year stint working on superyachts around the world as a private chef, completing her 300-hour yoga teacher training 13 years ago, and more recently dabbling in naturopathy studies and still completing her Integrated Nutrition & Health Coaching course.
Emily is a natural concept creator, planner and people person. She is a wife and mum of two, passionate about health, wellness and conscious living. The Soulful Long Lunch Series blends Emily’s undeniable skills of bringing to life memorable experiences, with her life passions and sharing it all with a tribe of inspiring people.
Her definition of Self Love is always changing but to me, it is connecting in regularly with yourself in each chapter of your life, through a person, a place, experiences, or rituals. It is about doing things simply for yourself and filling your own cup not anyone else’s.
Her favourite quote is:
Self-care is giving the world the best of you instead of what’s left of you.

Quotes:
I saw a gap in the corporate market for beautiful bespoke wellness events.
Society has conditioned us to think that go go go and do more is better.
I see a change coming.
There is still a mentality to do more than what we are capable of.
So, I feel like it does start with the top down when it comes to corporate wellbeing.
I’m a huge fan of the four-day week.
I want to evoke all the senses when attending these experiences.
It’s the little things that truly matter to me and our events.
It is so special to surprise the customer so they feel valued.
There is no stone unturned.
We have long-standing relationships with our suppliers.
The Soulful Long Lunch is something I want to attend.
I wanted to create something that wove all my skills and passions together.
I wanted to create a community and share knowledge and wisdom.
It’s about taking that time out and allowing yourself to enjoy a really beautiful experience.
I want consciously created menus and beautiful gifts and surprises.
It is about connecting with like-minded people and be inspired by the speakers or general experience.
It fills my cup so much which is why I want to inform and inspire as many as possible.
Each lunch has a theme like self-care, conscious beauty, nutrition beyond the plate and next is movement for joy.
These long lunches are about having a pure experience and feel relaxed and enjoying each others company.
