Step out of the noise and into your next Chapter.
The New Narratives retreat for entrepreneurs building intentional and human-centered businesses.
April 16th - 19th
Point REyes, CA
Part business mastermind, part personal reset
A space to slow down, strategize, and connect so that you can think bigger.
Focused support.
grounded insights.
Intentional Business Building.
transformative breakthroughs.
This is for you if…
You’re an established founder or solo business owner who’s deciding what’s next and want community to help guide you.
You’ve built something that works, but you want to make sure it still works for you. (Meaning it’s financially AND creatively sustainable.)
You believe having an intimate community is strategic. That trust and honest conversations move business forward and value depth over speed.
You’re most alive when you’re around thoughtful, ambitious entrepreneurs who talk about growth, meaning, and money in the same breath.
You want to leave with a plan with clear next steps, new partners, and the energy to act on them.
Past participants say…
-
I charted my next steps.
“Spending four days with 12 people in various stages of building their solo business helped me chart out next steps in things like what I offer, how I sell it, and how I price it.
It also helped me refocus on what it is I really like to do for clients versus what drains me and what parts of my business I should outsource because they drag me down.
Probably the biggest benefit was gaining a new source of support, wisdom, and camaraderie in this one specific area of my life.”
Lee Densmer, Founder, Globia -
I walked away with more than I expected.
“I knew I’d connect with people. I just didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, or to feel this meaningful.
The hosts created instant ease and openness across a group of 10 (mostly) strangers. Women who each took a chance and hopped on a plane to prioritize themselves, their vision, and something more.
As each person shared their stories and a few tears, we jumped into new friendships, collaborations, and conversations that mattered.”
Stacy Eleckzo, Messaging Strategist -
I cried tears of gratitude.
“When I signed up, I expected fresh insights on running my business. By day three, it was clear I had gained something bigger and more impactful… a tribe of women firmly in my corner.
Yes, I left with plenty of practical tools and tips. But more importantly, I felt deeply understood in a way only others in the trenches can offer.”
Ann Marie Jasinowski, Brand Strategist at Hue & Echo
We have a perfect 5-star rating from past participants for quality of workshops, experiences, and overall value.

The venue
Just an hour north of San Francisco, the Lodge at Marconi sits on 62 acres of rolling hills overlooking Tomales Bay, a place where time seems to slow down and nature hums quietly in the background.
Once a radio receiving station built by Guglielmo Marconi in 1914, the property has long been a place of transmission—of messages, meaning, and connection. Today, it’s been reimagined as a modern sanctuary surrounded by redwoods, coastal trails, and the stillness of the West Marin coastline.
Here, amid open skies and salt air, you’ll find plenty of room to breathe again. We choose it as the place to reconnect to your own rhythm and rediscover what you want the next chapter of your business to feel like.

I got a concrete plan to transform my business.
“Before coming to the retreat, I felt stuck and confused about where to take my business. It wasn't lighting me up like when it used to, and I wasn't growing as much or taking on new challenges. In my day to day, I didn't have the headspace or time to change that. The retreat made space for bigger picture thinking and working ON the business, not IN it. After the retreat, I felt re-inspired and came out of it with a plan and concrete ways to transform my business so it was something that excited me again.”
Angela Myers, Freelance Writer & Content Strategist, Angela Myers Creative

This retreat really changed things for me.
“I have so much clarity on my next steps. I have a business community that I am already leaning on. And I have a rejuvenated "spark" about my business.
But mostly...I have so many great memories with people who went from strangers to friends in just 3 days.”
Andie Huber, Website Strategist

Transparent information about how to build.
“In a world where people constantly publish content about their lives, it's surprisingly difficult to find transparent information about what entrepreneurs are doing to build sustainable businesses. The New Narratives Retreat is the perfect antidote. It created a welcoming, intimate space where I was able to hear from other business owners and share my own stories with the goal of building the lives we want. I came back refreshed and ready to continue growing my business in a direction that makes sense for me!”

We’ve done
this before
Renee and Kari have been friends for nearly two decades. We’re two entrepreneurs who built our businesses side by side, swapping ideas, voice notes, and sanity checks along the way.
Over countless talks and working sessions, one theme kept surfacing:
Building a business that feels good requires both the inner work and the outer structure. You need the story that keeps you connected to your purpose, and the strategy that gives it shape.
Renee helps founders and creators uncover and share the stories that build connection and trust.
Kari helps business owners design clear, profitable strategies grounded in their values.
Together, we bring both sides of the equation—storytelling and strategy—to help you realign and refocus from a place that feels true.
The New Narratives Retreat was born from that belief: that clarity comes from slowing down, grounding yourself, and reconnecting with what you actually want to build and why.

Because it’s all about the story. What’s the story you’re telling yourself about your business and your life? Is it the right one, the one that feels most like you and helps you meet your goals? The goal of this retreat is to tell a new story and build a community of people to help you tell it.
