MATRIARCHAL HIVE
A Container for Entrepreneurs
6 SESSIONS OVER 12 WEEKS · 90 MIN ON CAMERA · GROUP OF 6 · STARTS OCTOBER 6, 2026
Matriarchal Hive is a facilitated space for women, femmes and gender non-conforming folk who are seeking a wildly supportive community of peers as they build, grow or re-define their entrepreneurial businesses.
In this container, we practice disrupting the conditioning of capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy.
We slow down, listen to our bodies and hearts, ask questions, center community, and welcome wisdom from Nature and the More-than-human into how we build and lead our work.
You were never meant to this alone.
Now, you can show up to a small group of feminist entrepreneurs who want to share stories, be celebrated, and learn from each other.
You'll feel encouraged. You'll follow through. You'll know you're not alone. You'll be inspired by the myriad ways of approaching business and life.
Think of this as an intimate laboratory, where feminist entrepreneurs increase their capacity to feel safe, experiment and explore relating to their businesses differently.
Where we reject comparison culture, hiding, and gatekeeping. Where we share with and learn from one another.
You'll be inspired by the myriad ways of approaching business. You’ll access more momentum, widen resources and seed new possibilities.
You'll feel encouraged. You'll follow through. You'll know you're not alone.
If you crave a caring, accepting, feminist container to hold & witness you, this is it!
Each Session Includes:
Opening - We settle into guided somatic sensing and resourcing.
Check-ins - We describe how we’re arriving and what we’re carrying.
*Business shares - We each share and orient to where we're at on our specific business: what's moving, what’s stuck, what's ahead and what’s possible.
*Emergence - We tend to what needs our attention and arises. A topic deepens, a sticky issue gets explored, a vulnerable share finds support or a problem is met with solidarity, resources ideas or advice (if requested)
Committing - We craft personal affirmations, spells, or goals for what’s next. Visioning, future casting, amplifying.
Closing - We check out
Between sessions - A Signal chat channel will be available for sharing resources, asking for help, or celebrating a win.
*the majority of our time is spent here

Over 12 weeks you may work towards a goal, refine a practice, find focus or increase your capacity to be seen, heard and take-up space.
These sessions are a place to actively practice Matriarchal, intersectional, anti-capitalist** and de-colonial business interventions and pursuits.
We centre care, joy, resourcefulness, collaboration, community, imperfection, pleasure, rest and embodiment.
But don’t worry, that does not mean it’s a place of spiritual bypassing, love and light or good vibes only.
We name and sit with the very real ways systems of oppression and harm unevenly impact and shape us in collapse times.
**Yes you can make money while being anti-capitalist and imagine new ways.
If something in you says YES, please fill out the short application form.
We’ll hop on a brief phone call to ensure this is the right fit for you.
We’d love to have you!

Past Matriarchal Hive Participants had this to say……
Asteria S. Star Girl Creative
“I am allowed to land, over and over again, in accountability, compassion and togetherness. There's room for high ambitions, low capacity, and everything in between."
Hanna-Maria Strand, Heartwood Strand
“Left to myself, I might not touch my business for weeks. The consistency of this group gives my nervous system a safe, tethered way to keep moving forward."
Corey McAuliffe, Living Liminally Inc
“A space where I can both be seen, and see myself and my work clearly. It's helped me track, account for, and celebrate the concrete steps I'm taking toward my goals"
Maggie Shanahan We Keep
Who’s holding the space?
Hi I’m Robin, I facilitate and animate spaces that are deep and playful, caring and bounded, honest and radical. My professional background spans over two decades in a myriad of leadership roles and industries. I've always been at the edges, holding space between worlds.
I don't fit into boxes, and I don't expect you to either.
I designed the first Matriarchal Hive because I was building two businesses alone and discovered I couldn’t be both the container and the elixir at the same time. I needed peers I could share and gather with in a non-hierarchical way as we all grew various projects in different ways while wrestling with similar struggles living under the current systems of modernity. It was a success (see testimonials) so I wanted to offer the model to more people: a trauma-informed, values aligned group practice for personal and collective transformation
As a facilitator and space holder, I'm practiced in systems thinking and design, emergent strategy, collaborative methodologies, the creative arts, nature connection and holding complexity amid the metacrisis. My approach is informed by principles of trauma stewardship, attachment orientation, somatic integration, a transpersonal approach, a politicized practice and collapse awareness.
In practice, I might ask questions, point out patterns, share a poem or song, let us linger in a pause, throw to the larger field, or amplify, validate or presence what’s already being shared and named.
I'm passionate about helping people define, design and move through their own transformational processes that bring liberation for everyone involved.
Crafting a more equitable, just and vibrant future takes practice and courage.
I welcome you to bring your unique offerings, lived experiences, desires and insights to this circle so they can be celebrated nurtured and alchemized.
