The Retreat Where You Actually Get Shit Done

Two days of focused implementation, strategic clarity, and the community you’ve been craving.

May 5-8, 2026
Lake Travis, Austin, Texas

WHAT IS FLOURISH CO-LAB?

Co-Lab is short for Collaborations and that’s exactly what this is.

This isn’t another retreat where you sit and listen to a guru tell you what to do. This isn’t a weekend of inspiration that fades by Tuesday morning. And this definitely isn’t surface-level networking where everyone’s performing success.

FLOURISH Co-Lab is where accomplished women come together to:

  • Make the decisions they’ve been avoiding
  • Build the strategies they’ve been stalling on
  • Create the bold moves they’ve been holding back
  • Do it alongside women who actually get it

Over two full days (plus arrival dinner and integration morning), you’ll work ON your business and life not just talk about it. You’ll leave with work completed, decisions made, and women who have your back.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

You’ve proven yourself professionally. You’ve built something, led something, climbed something. By everyone else’s definition, you’re successful.
And it’s no longer enough.

What you don't have is:

  • Permission to rewrite the rules for this next chapter
  • A room full of women who understand the isolation of being “the successful one”
  • Time and space to actually DO the work instead of collecting more ideas
  • Honest, supportive feedback from people who see you not what you can do for them

You're standing at the edge of a meaningful pivot whether it's:

  • Leaving corporate to build your own thing
  • Scaling a business that’s outgrown its structure
  • Transitioning from one career to something that feels more aligned
  • Redefining what success means when YOU get to write the rules
  • You’re not starting from zero. You’re starting from wisdom. You have skills, resources, relationships, expertise.

You want:

  • Business acumen AND emotional intelligence (not one or the other)
  • Strategic support AND community (not just tactics)
  • Implementation AND integration (not another notebook full of ideas)
  • To stop performing and start FLOURISHING

What Makes This Different?

You'll Be Understood

This is probably the only place where you can say what’s actually on your mind and receive honest, supportive feedback. No judgment. No competition. No performing. You can talk freely about what you’re really struggling with and get real support. You can exhale.

You'll Actually Get Work Done

Most retreats inspire you. This one implements with you. You’ll spend focused blocks working ON your business building offers, making decisions, creating strategy with support when you get stuck.

You'll Learn From Each Other

We practice reciprocal mentorship, not guru worship. Everyone brings wisdom from their journey. Everyone contributes. Everyone teaches and everyone learns.

You'll Integrate All of You

We don’t separate “business strategy” from “emotional intelligence.” Your worthiness blocks ARE your business blocks. Your nervous system patterns ARE your leadership patterns. We address it all.

You'll Make Real Connections

You won’t leave alone. Accountability partnerships are formed. Real relationships are built. This isn’t networking it’s community.

  • Energy from being truly seen and celebrated

THE FRAMEWORK: THREE PILLARS

Everything we do is built around the FLOURISH framework:

LEAD FROM SOVEREIGNTY

Stand in your authority without seeking external validation. Make decisions from your internal knowing. Own your path even when it’s unconventional.

GROW IN ALIGNMENT

Structure your business and life to serve you (not the other way around). Stop tolerating what drains you. Create sustainable success.

LIVE IN FULL EXPRESSION

Lead as your whole self not just your “professional” self. Bring creativity, intuition, and authenticity to your work. Stop hiding and start showing up.

Patty Lawrence

Founder of FLOURISH
Consulting CFO and business strategist turned community builder. After 30+ years in finance and business operations, Patty created FLOURISH to give women what she wished she’d had: a sacred, strategic circle where you don’t have to choose between success and soul.

Alexandria Roemer

Event Curator + Implementation Specialist
Alexandria Roemer is a creative strategist and community builder who helps people translate who they are into content that feels honest, embodied, and effective.

Rather than teaching people how to perform online, she supports founders, creatives, and leaders in clarifying their point of view and articulating their voice in a way that feels natural and true to them.

She’s known for guiding people from “I know what I want to say, but can’t quite access it” to clear, confident expression—without forcing a persona or chasing trends. Her work supports people in expressing ideas that matter to them, using content as a way to lead, influence, and contribute without losing integrity.

Alexandria uses content as a vehicle for greater impact—helping people show up more fully, share what actually matters, and expand their influence in ways that feel aligned and true.

Together, we bring:

strategic business frameworks (Patty)
+ implementation facilitation (Alexandria)
+ reciprocal wisdom from the circle (you).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if I can't get there Tuesday evening?
The container-setting Tuesday evening is important, but if you absolutely can’t arrive until Wednesday morning, we can make it work. Let us know in your application.
What are the sleeping arrangements?
Summer camp style shared rooms, 2 per room. It’s cozy, not luxury, and it’s part of the bonding experience.
What if I don't know exactly what I'm pivoting to?
Perfect. Many women come seeking clarity. As long as you know you’re ready for something different and you’re willing to do the work to figure out what that is, you’re in the right place.
Will there be time for rest/downtime?
Yes. Evenings after dinner are unstructured you can join peer-led workshops, connect with other women, or take personal time.
What if I'm an introvert?
Many of our most powerful participants are introverts. The small group size (10-12 max) and respectful container mean you won’t be forced into constant interaction. There’s space for quiet processing.
Can I get a refund if something comes up?
Our refund policy will be shared upon acceptance. Generally, deposits are non-refundable but we’re reasonable humans let’s talk if an emergency arises.

In Their Own Words

“I had been sitting on an idea for five years. Five YEARS. At the retreat, I finally got the clarity and support to take the first step. The business is now live.”

“I love the way that you facilitate… I love the pillars. The content is incredible. I was already thinking of who else can I invite to this? Because this is f*cking awesome, and I really f*cking mean that.”

“I feel a lot more confident when speaking with potential clients and patients. I’m starting to find my groove… When we did the year-end total for December, I was blown away at the numbers.”

“I had a lot of breakthroughs and profound realizations. I feel really supported. I feel like I belong there.”

“This wasn’t just inspiring it was actionable. I left with actual work done, not just homework to do later.”

“The connections I made were real. We’re still supporting each other months later. This wasn’t networking it was sisterhood.”

FINAL WORD

You’ve spent years proving yourself by someone else’s rules. This is your chance to rewrite them.

You’ve spent years being the strong one, the successful one, the one everyone leans on. This is your chance to be held.

You’ve spent years compartmentalizing business self over here, real self over there. This is your chance to integrate.

FLOURISH Co-Lab isn’t just a retreat. It’s the beginning of your next chapter.
