For Leaders Asking Deeper Questions

 
 
 

Welcome to the Hidden Menu

This part of the site isn’t about scale. It’s about signal.

If you’ve found your way here, you’re likely someone who’s done the conferences, the keynotes, the strategy offsites. And still, you sense there’s a deeper kind of work—slower, more creative, more human. That’s what lives here.

These experiences aren’t about performance. They’re about presence. We gather in smaller groups, with clear intention and minimal polish, to reflect, connect, and start shaping the kind of leadership the world actually needs next.

 

Virtual Storytelling Events

Thoughtfully designed experiences that blend inner clarity with outer impact.
Some are women-only, others open to all. Each one is rooted in reflection, dialogue, and authentic connection—offering a pause from business-as-usual to reconnect with what matters.


Virtual Storytelling Dinners

Upcoming Dates (2025):
• December 15 - Open to all. End of Year Gathering, please RSVP early
Time: 4:00 – 6:00 PM PT
Location: Virtual (link shared upon RSVP)

This intimate, no-prep storytelling circle is for leaders navigating personal or professional transition—whether career shifts, reinvention, or simply asking what’s next. Through prompts and shared story, we create meaningful connection beyond surface-level small talk.

Come as you are. Leave a little more whole.



Leadership Dialogues: story as signal beyond the feed

Upcoming Dates (2026):
Stay tuned for upcoming Leadership Dialogues in 2026

The Leadership Dialogues are small-group conversations that invite you to speak, reflect, and be witnessed as a leader in transition. These aren’t trainings. They’re grounded spaces to unpack what’s shifting in your role, your team, or your identity as a leader. You’ll be joined by 6–8 others who are also navigating complexity—whether that’s scaling a company, stepping into visibility, or letting go of outdated models of success.

No pitch. No prep. Instead a more honest conversation about leadership.

 

Spring 2026 - The Creative Break Retreat - Location TBD

All Genders Welcome. Event details currently emerging…

We live in a world designed for maintenance, not imagination.
For moving tasks forward—but not dreams. For optimizing output—but not original ideas. Somewhere along the way, we traded creative risk for productivity. And slowly, many of us stopped asking: What do I truly want to build?

This retreat is a response to that.

It’s not a break from your life. It’s a break into your creativity.

Over three days, a multidisciplinary group will come together to make space for what’s been waiting to emerge. You’ll come with a question, a longing, or an idea in its earliest form. You’ll leave with the momentum to bring it to life.

You’ll be supported by thoughtful facilitation, creative prompts, peer dialogue, and wide open space—so you can reconnect with your own rhythm, and bring forward the work only you can do.

Designed for a small group, so every voice and vision has room to grow.

The exact location is still forming—but one thing is clear: we’re gathering where beauty, clarity, and possibility intersect.

 

Curious? Let’s Connect.

If something here speaks to you—whether it’s a date, a feeling, or the sense that you’re ready for a new chapter—I’d love to hear from you.

Each of these offerings is designed with care, and your presence helps shape the experience.

Whether you’re ready to join or want to explore what’s right for you, email me directly at erica@followthesun.io. I personally read and respond to every message.
