Clarity on your business while enveloped in the ocean's aura

I’m your host, Melanie! I designed this retreat after wishing something like it existed when I was new to my entrepreneurial journey. I’ve attended my fair share of stuffy conferences and had my hopes dashed after a networking event didn’t match the hype.

I longed for an experience that felt like the writing retreats I used to host in my previous career, and thought: Why should novelists have all the fun?‍

And so, this retreat was born: an in-person experience for business owners hosted in the style of a writing retreat. I’m delighted for you to experience it!

Over these enriching four days you’ll focus on your goals. You’ll have personalized guidance to help you surface what’s best for you and the time to start making progress.

Your genius will unfold in the company of other bright and ambitious self-starters who are in similar shoes—or in this case, flip-flops!

yOUR SCHEDULE

This retreat schedule is built with you and your goals in mind. With a mixture of structured and unhindered time, you’ll leave feeling accomplished and refreshed, ready to tackle whatever lies ahead for you in your business. Ultimately, you’ll have the final say in how you use your time within this supportive community in ways that best serve you.

Your meals and snacks are included.

Day 1: Come Ashore

When you touchdown in Bethany Beach, you’ll meet others who also committed to this remarkable experience! We’ll enjoy snacks and hors d’oeuvres and get to know each other. You’ll get a chance to familiarze yourself with your cozy room, the beach, and the property. We’ll end the day with dinner and a writing activity. Retreat check-in at 3 p.m. EST.

Day 2: Setting Sail

We’ll dive into our retreat by setting our individual goals and focusing on collaborative support. You’ll define your aspirations, leverage writing alongside your new friends, and have lots of uninterrupted time—with the ocean as your backdrop—to make tangible progress.

Day 3: Navigating Progress

We’ll each reflect, evaluate, and possibly adjust course. With supportive guidance, you’ll reflect on your journey so far, evaluate your progress, and continue to use writing as a powerful self-discovery tool. You’ll have opportunities for feedback, if that’s a fit for you. For dinner, you can explore the culinary scene in Bethany Beach, just a short walk or bike ride away.

​Day 4: Bon Voyage!

We’ll end our time together by celebrating your achievements and the progress you made during our time together. Cherish connections forged with fellow business owners and bid the beach farewell with a renewed sense of energy and excitement. Retreat check-out at 11 a.m. EST.
