The event, which was organised by Her Best Life podcast, promises guests an experience of yoga, sound healing, meditation, a psychologist-led session and a disco evening.<\/p>\n
Much like hundreds of other women, journalist Ariana Pezeshki revealed that she had registered her interest before getting the all-important email that Gemma O’Neill would “absolutely love” for her to join the event, which will take place between April 17 and 19.<\/p>\n
In her article for 7news, she wrote: “So when I registered my interest and received a reply saying spaces were limited, but they\u2019d be in touch soon if we have a spot with your name on it’, it all felt very curated and coveted. Then came the email that tipped it from curiosity into commitment: You\u2019re invited.”<\/p>\n
After paying \u00a31,400 [$2,699] for the ticket, she received an email confirming that the event organisers were withholding details until after the Easter weekend due to security concerns.<\/p>\n
Ariana then received further bad news after learning that the organisers had found out that she worked in media – and told her that they were “no longer able to offer her access”.<\/p>\n
She wrote: “That was the moment everything changed. Instead of an invoice, I got a phone call attempt followed by an email that blindsided me: they had become aware that I work in media and, because this was a \u201cclosed-door experience\u201d, they were no longer able to offer me access.”<\/p>\n
After revealing that she had been refunded her money in full, she added: “What makes the whole thing especially surprising is that at no point during the booking process was there any disclosed condition stating that media professionals were ineligible to attend”.<\/p>\n
She later shared that she was “disappointed” she would no longer be attending, before saying that the details about who could attend should have been “disclosed upfront”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The event, which was organised by Her Best Life podcast, promises guests an experience of yoga, sound healing,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,4866,175751,4870,22466,111,139,69,3164],"class_list":{"0":"post-372991","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-meghan-markle","11":"tag-meghan-markle-australia","12":"tag-meghan-markle-latest","13":"tag-meghan-markle-news","14":"tag-new-zealand","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz","17":"tag-royal-family"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
