About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

Need a change of scenery to spark your productivity? Join us for this special monthly coworking series with your NAWBO sisters! Whether you’re working on a project, tackling your to-do list, or brainstorming new ideas, this event offers a refreshing environment to get things done — all while connecting with like-minded women entrepreneurs.

Enjoy a day of focused work with the added bonus of educational programming, community, and lunch! It’s not just about checking off tasks—it’s about making connections, sharing insights, and finding inspiration from fellow business owners who are navigating the same journey.

Bring your laptop, your ideas, and your energy. You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, new connections, and maybe even a few new friends.


PRESENTATION: Write Your Way to Clarity: Reconnect, Reflect, and Begin Again

Take a midday pause for reconnection and clarity at this month’s Lunch & Learn, hosted by NAWBO Richmond member Dr. Adina Silvestri, founder of Life Cycles Counseling.

In this interactive workshop, Write Your Way to Your Future Self, you’ll explore expressive writing as a tool to access your inner voice, process emotional overwhelm, and reconnect with the parts of yourself hidden beneath burnout, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. Through guided journaling and storytelling, you'll uncover clarity, compassion, and the first pages of your next chapter.

Whether you’re navigating a transition, craving deeper alignment, or seeking a softer path forward—this is a moment to pause, reflect, and begin again.
