You’ve been building with heart. NONSTOP.
Now it’s time to breathe, reflect, and step into your next chapter with clarity.
Entrepreneurship can feel isolating...
Like you’re carrying the weight of every decision on your own. Even when you’re all in, it’s easy to lose touch with your creativity, your purpose, and the version of you who started this whole thing in the first place.

What if you gave yourself the space to reconnect with her?
This is more than a getaway.
It’s a catalyst for transformation.
Retreat With Mari is an immersive, high-touch experience designed for female founders who are ready to pause the hustle, reconnect with their vision, and return to their business renewed, refocused, and refreshed.
LEAD WITH CLARITY AGAIN
I arrived in Italy feeling burnt out and unsure of my next steps. I left feeling refreshed, with lifelong friends, and a renewed sense of purpose. This retreat not only helped me clarify my vision, but it also gave me the exact roadmap I need to get there. Italy was life-changing, and I can't wait to be back next year!
