—Find your flow. Nourish your heartwork. Create in community.—

August 1st-3rd
((IN PERSON — NE PDX))

For solopreneurs tired of going it alone, who crave community and connection. For justice-rooted biz owners seeking an infusion of support and inspiration as we show up for our big work in these consequential times. For those with an offering, idea, or heartwork you want to pour into (but need the space and time to do so). 

Quiet the distractions. Amplify the inspiration. Move your vision forward.

The world is in such heartbreaking upheaval, and it can feel so hard to truly focus on our heartwork, even though it means so much to us (and is vital for our livelihoods). These three days are part inspired co-working, part connecting with kindred community, part spacious and nourishing retreat — all parts healing & heartening immersion.

In a gorgeous, light-drenched artist studio and lush gardens, among a circle of kindred business owners, dedicate time and focus to the work that stirs your heart, moves the needle, and brings your vision into being. The work that can be so hard to prioritize and sink into. ((“Work” can be widely defined here, and your time might look like: nurturing your body and soul, easing into rest, connecting with community, deepening your activism practices; writing, planning, dreaming, strategizing, mapping, making — finding tangible momentum with your projects.))

A place for us to gather. To be deeply nourished on every level. To welcome the muse and relish in shared wisdom and collaborative visioning. To take heart together.

This time is designed as a working retreat — held space to honor and tend to your creative longings, in community — the big visioning you’ve been wanting to do, the pesky tasks that feel daunting, the scattered notes you want to organize, the writing or reading or making that has been clanking around your heart calling for attention. Bring it here. Pull up a chair in the garden. Spread out in the studio. Tuck into a private nook. Exhale.

There is nothing like the galvanizing spark of creating alongside each other.

Even as we dedicate ourselves to our independent projects, we will benefit from the collective energy of this time and space, supporting one another’s focus. There will be room to offer and receive reflection and feedback, talk through ideas and questions, and lend our eyes and hearts to one another’s work. We’ll benefit from the energy of co-creation and shared wisdom. Anya will be on hand for 1:1 Consults and Content Reviews.

Each day, we’ll connect for ritual, honest conversation, for a bit of movement and creative expression. We’ll get to know each other and the work that stirs our hearts, the challenges we’re experiencing as justice-rooted biz owners in a time of collapse, the vital visions we hold. We’ll nourish our bodies with delicious food and fresh air and play. And we’ll have spacious hours to find our own pace and flow — and then return to the circle for inspiration and recalibration.

Friday we’ll begin together with ritual as we set the intention for our Creative Immersion. We’ll engage in guided conversation and then ease into Open Flow time as we each dedicate energy to our projects. We’ll have a midday dance party, opportunities for collaboration and co-creation, and optional reflection space.

On Saturday a photographer will be on hand to take fresh portraits to use across our platforms. You’ll be invited to stay until 9pm — taking advantage of summertime in the gorgeous studio, letting the muse find you as you sink into easeful flow, enjoying the sauna (if you’re inclined), and circling around the outdoor fire for magic and release. A delicious dinner will be provided.

Sunday we’ll have more spacious hours to move our projects forward, and we’ll connect in facilitated conversation to outline ways to stay re-sourced and supported and lovingly accountable to our heartwork.  

There is no pressure for “productivity” here. However you use your time is worthy.

Nap under the trees. Paint and create. Write and vision and plan and ideate. Content batch. Call your reps. Converse and connect and dream together. Be filled up by the creative magic of this space, by the meaningful momentum of circling with kindreds.
