WE’RE DONE WITH PATRIARCHAL
BUSINESS-AS-USUAL

A Radical Retreat for Feminist Entrepreneurs
MAY 4 TO 6, 2021

✺

We’ve designed this retreat with one primary goal in-mind: to give you the tools to transform your business-as-usual into a wildly successful feminist company—one that topples the patriarchy and is filled with pleasure, purpose, and profitability.

In this 3-day virtual retreat, we’ll unveil our *new* Feminist Framework for Entrepreneurship and show you how to implement it in your own business. We’ll give you a roadmap for transforming your company into a thriving feminist enterprise with integrity and social impact. We’ll guide you in rooting out patriarchal thinking from your business practices. And we’ll supply you with tools to build a regenerative business ecosystem that is engineered for sustainability and long-term growth. Plus, for three days you’ll forge new friendships with other fired-up feminist entrepreneurs from around the globe.

Join us as we put patriarchal business-as-usual to bed and kickstart the feminist business revolution. ⚡️
