Unwind in Italy
An unforgettable gathering for women
who want to build businesses — and lives —
on their own damn terms.
Unbehaved
After years of dreaming of this gathering, it’s finally happening!
We rented an entire
15-person private villa
in Tuscany —
and we want YOU there with us.
A curated gathering built around
Joy, meaning, and deep connection
— to yourself and to others.
Pack light.
Unpack the BS.
This is for women who want to start flourishing instead of just functioning.
After more than a decade of working with leaders, here’s what we know: the ones who are thriving didn’t get there by accident. They’re running an entirely different playbook — the one Meghan literally documented in her book, This Isn’t Working.
For five days, alongside a small group of extraordinary women, we’ll unpack the status-quo BS that’s keeping you stuck and dig into the five core tenets of flourishing leadership. The kind of work that can reshape your entire career — and life.
Since 2016 we’ve been building transformational events like this together: 200-person gatherings like the annual World-Changing Women’s Summit and Conscious Company Leaders Forum, intimate multi-day retreats, and everything in between.
Your retreat co-hosts will be Jocelyn Macdougall and Meghan French Dunbar — and this ain’t our first rodeo, folks!
Jocelyn is a professional facilitator and the founder of Sticky Nickel, a practice built entirely around convening conversations that matter. For over a decade she’s worked alongside climate activists, social entrepreneurs reimagining capitalism, and arts workers taking on the hardest questions of the moment. She is extraordinarily good at the thing most facilitators only claim to do: making it genuinely easy for people to listen, and to talk. She’s also the lead singer of Vancouver’s legendary Queer as Funk — so when we say there will be dancing, understand that we are not messing around.
Meghan is the author of This Isn’t Working: How Working Women Can Overcome Stress, Guilt, and Overload to Find True Success — the #1 best-selling new release on Amazon in Women in Business, and a global category bestseller — which documents the playbook mentioned above (read: she literally wrote the damn book on how to succeed and flourish). She’s also the host of the Unbehaved podcast, a recovering founder/CEO, and she has spent her career studying why work makes so many brilliant women so miserable, and what actually fixes it.
What’s in it for you.
This isn’t your standard retreat. No, my friend. We’re talkin’ true leadership work
with the depth, rest, and joy that make it stick around for life.
