1-DAY at Willow Camp, Stinson Beach, California

Thursday, October 12th, 2023

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

This daylong, coastal planning retreat experience, steps from the Pacific Ocean and less than an hour from San Francisco was designed to deliver a complete reset from the hustle and overwhelm of starting, growing, or running your business so that you can finish the year with an embodied plan, deepen your commitment, gather inspiration from amazing humans, and clarify your next chapter.

Your Hivery Planning Retreat as a daylong experience, combines expansive visioning for what you want to do next with the practicality of brass tacks planning, in a natural environment that makes it easy to connect the dots. You’ll be enveloped in community, creativity, yoga, peer mastermind groups, and spaciousness to gain clarity and vision. You’ll leave with a 90-day plan, mentorship from people that understand you and your deeper why.

Our planning retreat combines the dreaming of a vision day with the practicality of some brass tacks planning. So that you know exactly what you're doing for the last 12 weeks of the year, and you’re ready to start January strong.

You'll connect with other savvy business owners, writers, and artists that I've personally invited to share what's really working, receive ideas for visibility and growth, and create a clear strategy for where you want to take your work for the remainder of the year.

The aim of this retreat is to create space for planning, reflecting on what’s working and what’s not, vulnerability, intention-setting, and celebration of how far we've come as entrepreneurs who persevere and continue to grow. This experience has been designed to allow space to think and plan without distraction.

What can happen in one day?

• We start the day with a short yoga and meditation experience to get grounded in our bodies and embrace embodied planning. That way, you can make your plans from your most expensive self instead of from a place of stress or scarcity.

• The day continues with a focus on expansive planning, clarity, and goal-setting to end the year strong.

• We will have an outdoor, farm-to-table lunch midday.

• You'll be able to take a dip in the pool or ocean if you'd like during our breaks, or just lounge in a hammock while you reflect or continue working on your plan.

• The afternoon continues with topic-based discussions and an option to take personal time to write.

• We’ll end the day with a celebratory send-off complete with intention-setting and gourmet mocktails.

If you’ve been feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, not sure what to do next, or considering changing direction, this planning retreat is the answer.

You’ll get the TLC and nourishment you’ve been craving alongside other kind-hearted Hivery entrepreneurs, writers, coaches, and thought leaders, with the perfect mix of quiet, planning, clarity, and goal-setting in an environment conducive to expansive thinking.

Experience The Hivery Planning and Vision Retreat

What do dynamic, wise entrepreneurs, writers, creatives, and leaders have in common? They know when to connect, learn from people who are also focused on meaningful growth, reset and recharge. They know they need to change the scenery to re-anchor their work. They know they need a break from the day-to-day in order to have perspective on what to do next and how to end the year strong. They build relationships that are meaningful and recognize that business and professional friendships expand their ability (and motivation) to serve. 

At The Hivery Planning Retreat at Stinson Beach, you’ll leave with clarity on what you’re building, how you want to work, and the spaciousness to define your goals. You’ll connect with other entrepreneurs, creatives, writers, and seekers to gain clarity, new ideas, resources, and collaborations. And, you’ll be home for dinner with a clear plan of where you’re taking your work.

Why You Need The Hivery Planning Retreat at Stinson Beach

Don’t save your year-end planning for the chaotic holidays. You’re not going to get less busy.

Retreats create space for getting out of your day-to-day and reconnecting to the deeper why behind what you do. It's a chance, in one day, to get out of your comfort zone, reset and focus on the things that are working for you and your business (or work), and also to inspect and shake up the things that aren’t working for you. This is your planning getaway to clarify what you want to do next with spaciousness and inspiration, and also to let go of the inner-critic, imposter syndrome, burnout, or fatigue that may have wormed its way into your ideas-filled brain. 

This exclusive Hivery planning retreat for business owners, thought leaders, writers, and change-makers offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect and reconnect with Hivery peers through the perfect balance of structured sessions and creativity-infused experiences.

You will leave recharged by your Hivery community and with a deeper understanding of what to focus on next, reflection on what you love and what you want to let go of, and the renewed energy to continue on your path of meaningful work.

“The Hivery retreat was a timeless and transformative experience that I still bask in.  Grace curated a nurturing environment where women from all walks of life could come together to witness and experience the vulnerability, strength, joy, beauty, and brilliance that we each possess. In addition, I was blessed to not only be a giver but a recipient of genuine sisterhood throughout the day, it was an authentic exchange of support and connection. I was able to recharge and reconnect with myself within a cocoon of nature, beauty and unexpected unique experiences.” -Tiffany James, Storyteller, Wrtier’s Coach, and Speaker

“Being in community with other creative, connected, engaging women at The Hivery retreat was like a breath of fresh air. The gorgeous setting, the spacious pace of activities, and the time for reflection were exactly the break I needed from my day-to-day life and left me full of love and energy. I didn't want it to end!” -Susan Schroeder, Marketing Director, Creative Consultant and Marketing Advisor

I had such an amazing and fun time at the Hivery retreat!  Every detail was attended to with care and thoughtfulness, from the speaker and activities to the food and drinks.  Unique and beautiful details are what made it such a "Hivery-esque" experience.  I cannot wait to join in the next one. I do not care where it is or when - I will be there! - Moira Gubbins, Events Director and Consultant

I attended a Hivery retreat and found it to be inspiring, rejuvenating and relaxing all at once! It offered a structured way to do the things I always mean to do on my own but never manage to get to (reflection, goal-setting, etc.). - Susan George, Marketing Consultant

During my Hivery retreat, I had the pleasure of meeting a diverse and inspiring group of women. The atmosphere was infused with creativity, providing a comforting environment that fueled our drive and fostered deep connections. - Kebby McInroy, Founder, Studio 4 Art

Who is The Hivery Planning Retreat for? 

​This daylong retreat is for you if you value having time and space to reset and reflect on what’s working and what’s not as it relates to creating a meaningful next chapter. If you need a day to re-prioritize what really matters to you and connect with other kind entrepreneurs and creatives, this daylong experience was designed for you.

This is your opportunity to go from working inside the to-do list of your business or life (like constant email checking and social media) to working on the deeper layers of why you started (or are thinking about starting) this business or art or book or exploration in the first place, including your personal deeper-why for what you do. If you’re questioning if you’re on the right path or in the right business or working on the right things, this is your opportunity to move through internal fears and into your own zone of grace.

Clarity and Planning.

The fastest path to radical change is to step away. Change the scenery. Get quiet. Reflect. Awaken to your surroundings. Take yourself out of the day-to-day and reimagine your vision, your mission, and your next steps. Like an antidote to overwhelm, nature and community provide a unique remedy to hustle culture. This is your opportunity over a full day away to reset, plan, clarify, create goals, and reconnect to what actually matters in your business and life.

Community.

The Hivery was built on the core value of the importance and transformative qualities of a kind, authentic community by your side when creating your next chapter. We are committed to creating containers of impact and inspiration by learning together, providing mutual and kind support, offering listening practices, creating space for ideas, and most importantly our proven realization that magic happens when we gather together and share our experiences of creating meaningful work and a committed, creative life.

Farm-to-Table Community Meals.

Experience the joy of eating together, slowly and spaciously savoring great food and nourishing company. You’ll enjoy lunch al fresco, hosted by Leaf & Sage with genuine companionship and conversation, alongside other dynamic women creating beautiful and meaningful work. You can chat about business, big visions for what you’d like to create, or simply share ideas on how you’re navigating burnout and finding inspiration.
