The Small Business Retreat

A getaway with female entrepreneurs for a reset, recharge, growth and connection.

You’re building something amazing—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

When the to-do list never ends and you're wearing every hat, it’s easy to wonder if it’s all worth it. Spoiler: it is. You’re not alone in this journey—and you don’t have to do it all by yourself. Our retreat is a space for female business owners to connect, recharge, and rise—together.

3 days. 2 nights. At the viral property, The Cliffs in Hocking Hills County, Ohio.

Day 1: Settle In & Connect

Welcome! Day 1 begins with a relaxed evening arrival, giving you time to settle in and start connecting with your fellow attendees. We’ll kick things off with Networking & Nibbles, followed by a delicious group dinner and formal introductions. You'll also get a tour of our gorgeous, viral-worthy property—trust us, it’s as stunning as it looks online. After dinner, unwind your way: soak in the hot tub, explore the secret game room, lounge in one of the cozy living spaces, or keep the conversations flowing on the beautiful outdoor decks.

Day 2: Learn, Grow & Explore

Get ready for a full day of inspiration, learning, and connection. We’ll start bright and early with affirmations and intention setting, followed by hands-on educational sessions and workbooks designed to help you gain clarity and level up your business. Midday, we’ll head out for a light hike through the private property to a breathtaking canyon—perfect for reflection and reset. After a nourishing lunch, we’ll dive back into more workshops and powerful conversations to keep the momentum going.

Day 3: Reflect & Say Goodbye (For Now!)

On our final day, we’ll come together for an optional early morning cold plunge—a refreshing and invigorating way to close out the retreat followed by a heartfelt goodbye breakfast. By now, we’re no longer strangers. We’ve shared stories, learned together, and become a tight-knit group of biz besties. It’s amazing what can happen in just a few days when women come together with purpose!

What People Are Saying ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Small Business Retreat was a beautiful opportunity to pour both into my business, and myself.  Chanla carefully curated the schedule to hold the perfect balance of sharing her business knowledge with tangible takeaways, as well as holding opportunities for vulnerable connection and encouragement between all who attended.  She stressed the value of both the numbers and the heart behind each business and encouraged us to value them both as well.  I came with hopes to shift outside of the overwhelm I’d felt surrounding my growing business, and left with not only reminders of the importance to pour into my own space and routines, but also examples and ideas of how to implement it all at home…and putting all of that into action has been the gift that keeps on giving!”

— Kailey Rorer, Muralist

“Chanla’s story, brand and products inspired me from day one, so much so that without hesitation I signed up for her business retreat! Trusting my gut led me to experience something extremely pivotal in my own story; creating lasting relationships, gaining insightful business and personal practices, and walking away with memories that were once only a dream. 

If you have ever thought of leveling up your brand and yourself personally, this is your opportunity to do so with one of the most inspiring entrepreneurs I’ve personally ever met.”

— Ashley Jackson, Owner + Founder of Ashley Jackson Beauty

“ I attended Chanla’s Small Business Retreat, and it was an incredible experience. The women were brilliant, supportive, and truly inspiring. The quality feedback and creative ideas shared far exceeded my expectations. Best of all, I’ve gained a group of like-minded women I know I can continue to workshop and grow with. Highly recommend!”

— Elizabeth Metcalf, Realtor

Meet your host, Chanla

Hi, I’m Chanla—your host!
I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire adult life and spent the last decade building my own skincare brand from the ground up. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot, made plenty of mistakes, and discovered what truly works. These experiences have fueled a passion for helping other small business owners navigate their own journeys. I’m here to support you, share what I’ve learned, and create a space where we can all grow—together. I hope to see you in November at my retreat!

This is more than networking. This is belonging.

The first Small Business Retreat 2024, an empowering group of women from all different businesses.
