Out of Office
Creative business retreat
An intentional retreat to step away from your business, reconnect with yourself, and move into the new season with clarity.
Why we
created this
We created this retreat because we've learned that some of the biggest shifts happen when we finally give ourselves enough space to stop reacting and start reflecting.
We intentionally chose November because it's the first time all year many of us finally have room to breathe. Before the holidays begin and before planning for another busy season starts, we wanted to create a space to reflect on what's worked, what hasn't, and what you want next year to look like.
Every November you likely catch yourself asking if you should do yet another rebrand or burn it all down and start over. Those questions rarely come because your business is broken, they come because you're exhausted. If you're feeling stuck on the hamster wheel of this endless cycle, this retreat is for you.
Out of Office Retreat is a place to slow down and connect with other women running creative businesses. You'll reflect on the past season, what’s been working, and what’s no longer aligned.
You’ll walk away feeling a little lighter, more confident, and more connected with yourself, others, and your business.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
Female entrepreneurs
You're a business owner and have built something you're proud of, but want to make sure you're building it intentionally.
in-between seasons
Whether you've been in business for three years or fifteen, life has probably changed since the day you started. Your priorities, brand, and ideal client evolve and your definition of success shifts.
craving clarity
The questions you're asking today are likely different from the ones you were asking when you first launched your business. Now it's clarifying what should stay and what needs a new approach.
Itinerary
Pre-Retreat | anticipatE
One of our favorite parts of this retreat is the community that forms before we even arrive. You'll be invited into a private online space where you can connect with the other attendees, coordinate travel, and get to know one another. We'll also host a casual virtual gathering so when you arrive at Wild Rice Retreat, you'll already know a few friendly faces.
Day One | Arrive + Unwind
You'll arrive, take a deep breath, and ease into a slower pace before we begin.
Day Two | Reflect + Connect
This day is all about creating space to reflect on your business, receive encouragement from women who understand your industry, and reconnect with what matters most.
Day Three | Gain Clarity + Look Ahead
Rather than heading home with another long to-do list, our hope is that you'll leave with clarity, confidence, and a better understanding of what your next season could look like. We’ll also have an open invitation for people to go to Bayfield and explore together and continue organic conversations and hanging out together.
Mastermind groups
There is power in community and getting an outside lens on your business. We'll break into groups to foster connection, gain clarity on current struggles, and craft your vision for the next year.
wild rice amenities
Wild Rice Retreat provides programming throughout the day, such as yoga, intention setting, watercolor classes, and more. The class list will be available 30 days prior to the retreat. We'll also spend time in the Sauna Haus and likely wrap up the day with a bonfire (weather permitting).
collective group
We will meet in a whole group whenever possible, facilitating convos in the Sauna Haus, on walks through the woods, and in our shared living rooms.
Our conversations will be casual and candid, with occasional coaching from Ali + Halle. We are an open book to help you figure out how to best approach this next season of business.

You don't have to figure it out alone
One of the biggest things we hear from women in this industry is how lonely entrepreneurship can feel.
