Attending this retreat was an amazing experience!
‍It provided me with the opportunity to untangle the ideas and thoughts that had been swirling around since I started my business. Spending time with other business owners who "get it," allowed me to comfortably receive applicable and actionable feedback.

Jamie Cox, Brand Strategist & Founder of Strange Salt

On day one, I arrived with fellow entrepreneurs. On day four, I left with new friends. Conversation, ideas, and collaboration flowed freely through our time together. The serene setting and supportive atmosphere lent credence to the belief that we’ll go further if we go together. One of Melanie’s many gifts is shaping a community you want–no need–to be a part of.
