The village you thought you had to build is already here

Curated local chapters for purpose-driven founders and creatives who are done growing alone and ready to link arms with people who actually get it.

Currently in Nashville. Launching in other cities soon!

There’s plenty of “networking.” This is something else.

A group of people lying on the floor with their eyes closed, while a young girl sits in the background with her hand on her chest. The setting appears to be indoors, with bright lighting and a colorful backdrop.

Women's brunches, panels, happy hours… you've probably been to a few. You've smiled through the small talk, stuffed cards into your purse (and never followed up), and driven home wondering why you still feel so alone in this.

Soulward Local isn't a monthly Zoom call you'll skip or a cocktail mixer where you have to explain the work you do to a stranger without a clue. It's a living community with a rhythm, a real standard, and a place where you don't have to explain yourself to be understood.

You don’t need to post more, spend more, and DO more. You need to connect with the right people.

“I felt like I was in a room with so many who understood me on a soul level. There aren't too many places where you can be seen like that.”

RACHELLE, SOULWARD SUMMIT ATTENDEE

What to Expect

  • Sacred Sips

    MONTHLY

    Easy, Fun. Included.

    A rotating coffee shop. One intentional opening prompt. No agenda, no pitches, no performance. Just the kind of conversation that reminds you why you started with women who actually get it.

    Same day and time every month, because consistency is part of the magic.

    INCLUDED

  • Salons

    QUARTERLY

    Mastermind + coworking.

    A protected 3-hour, IRL container. We open with a grounding ritual and a roundtable discussion on a theme. Then you work. In flow, in proximity, with other people who are building something real.

    After: integration and decompression time, but of course. (Your nervous system will thank you.)

    LIMITED SPOTS • A LA CARTE MEMBER PRICING PER CITY

  • Side Quests

    AS THEY COME

    Field trips, but grown-up

    Sauna mornings. Pool days. Studio workshops. Member dinners. Side Quests are organized by members, curated by chapter leads, and always discounted (or free) for members.

    Think of them as the organic, expanding activities that make you (and this community) feel alive.

This is for you if…

This is for you if…

A woman giving a presentation to a group of people in a restaurant or cafe with wooden beams, brick walls, and windows. She holds a microphone and is standing next to a screen displaying a slide.
Group of women socializing at a gathering, some seated at a table with drinks, one woman standing and smiling, in a room with modern decor and artwork.

You're building something real and you want people around you who are too (not just people who talk about it).

You've outgrown the mixer life.The events where you left feeling more alone than when you arrived. You're ready for one that actually feels like home.

You believe community is strategy. You know that your next collaborator, client, or co-founder is probably in a room you haven't been in yet.

You want consistent, IRL connection. Not just the occasional event you forget by Monday or a Zoom call behind your headshot. A place to return to. A village!

You're done performing growth or believing in scarcity. You want to actually do the work in a room that's safe enough for you to be honest about where you are.

A Note From Your Hosts

We've both been in rooms that gave us the “ick.” Rooms that felt like performance and that rewarded the loudest voice, not the most authentic ones. Rooms where we’ve driven home more depleted than when we arrived.

We built Soulward because we needed something different and we knew we weren't the only ones. After two Summits, the feedback we keep hearing was the same: "I've never been in a room like that before."

Chapters are how we make that room available year-round. That village that you can return to and connect with more than once a year.

Katie MacLachlan & Maria Spear Ollis
Co-founders, Soulward

READY?

The village is already gathering.

Founding member pricing won't last. Come to Sacred Sips first if you want to feel the room before you commit. Either way, the door is open.
