A gathering for women solopreneurs
Step away from the noise and into a room of women who are thoughtfully building their business
Running your own business can be exhilarating.
It can also be isolating.
You spend your days making decisions, solving problems, and holding the vision for something that didn’t exist before you built it. Most of the time, the people around you care, but they don’t fully understand what it takes.
That’s why spaces like this matter.
When women who run their own businesses gather together, something different happens. Conversations deepen. Guards drops. Things that typically stay unsaid finally have somewhere to land.
Not rushed.
Not performative.
Not transactional.
Instead, you'll be wrapped in thoughtful, honest conversations with about thirty women who know what it means to build something of their own while still carrying the rest of life with them.
No sitting silently in rows. No sales pitches. No surface-level networking.
This is different.
Here, you'll be with about thirty women showing up fully to be real and connect with other good-hearted business owners.
Food & Drinks Included
I’ve attended events where I ended up spending more on meals than the admission ticket or the provided food was a stale sandwich or the happy hour was an expensive cash bar.
That's why all meals and beverages are covered.
When you arrive Tuesday evening, there will be substantial hors d’oeuvres, wine, and beer.
On Wednesday, you'll have a tasty breakfast and delicious lunch plus refreshments available throughout the day.
Meet YOUR hOST
Hi! I'm Melanie, a former classroom teacher turned solopreneur.
Teaching, traveling, and leading taught me to pay close attention to the energy of a room, what opens people up, what helps ideas deepen, what makes time together matter.
That attention lives inside every SoloprenHER gathering.

reserve your seatDay 1: Come Ashore
When you touchdown in Bethany Beach, you’ll meet others who also committed to this remarkable experience! We’ll enjoy snacks and hors d’oeuvres and get to know each other. You’ll get a chance to familiarze yourself with your cozy room, the beach, and the property. We’ll end the day with dinner and a writing activity. Retreat check-in at 3 p.m. EST.
Day 2: Setting Sail
We’ll dive into our retreat by setting our individual goals and focusing on collaborative support. You’ll define your aspirations, leverage writing alongside your new friends, and have lots of uninterrupted time—with the ocean as your backdrop—to make tangible progress.
Day 3: Navigating Progress
We’ll each reflect, evaluate, and possibly adjust course. With supportive guidance, you’ll reflect on your journey so far, evaluate your progress, and continue to use writing as a powerful self-discovery tool. You’ll have opportunities for feedback, if that’s a fit for you. For dinner, you can explore the culinary scene in Bethany Beach, just a short walk or bike ride away.
Day 4: Bon Voyage!
We’ll end our time together by celebrating your achievements and the progress you made during our time together. Cherish connections forged with fellow business owners and bid the beach farewell with a renewed sense of energy and excitement. Retreat check-out at 11 a.m. EST.
A few helpful details
"Do I need to know anyone attending?"
Not at all! This gathering is intentionally small and built for kind-hearted women to make it easy to meet and connect with everyone in the room.
"What should I wear?"
Think comfort. You’ll be standing, sitting, walking, and possibly even curled up into a nook on a couch or cross-legged on the floor.
"I have some dietary requirements."
After registering, you'll receive a short survey where you can share this information with the kitchen.
“Where in Philadelphia?”
The Fitler Club is located in Center City Philadelphia, just 20 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport and half a mile from the Amtrak station.
"Are there hotels nearby?"
Four hotels are located within a one-mile radius of the Fitler Club. [Info about room blocks coming.]
