The Exhale: A Different Kind of Virtual Business Gathering
Description
Running a business, especially with people depending on you, can be deeply meaningful… and heavy.
Many leaders are carrying more than they let on. The decisions. The responsibility. The pressure to hold it all together.
And often, there aren’t many spaces where you don’t have to be the strong one.
This is that space.
Introducing, The Exhale. A small, in-person gathering for business owners in the Pikes Peak region who are feeling overwhelmed or stretched and are craving a moment to pause, reconnect, and remember they’re not alone.
This is not a networking event.
Not a workshop.
And not another "program."
Instead, it’s a guided, grounded experience designed to help you:
step out of constant output and into presence
connect with other leaders in a real, human way
reflect on what you’re carrying (and what might need to shift)
leave with simple, practical tools to support your energy in daily life
We’ll move gently between quiet reflection, guided grounding, and meaningful conversation without pressure, performance, or pretense.
If you’ve been holding a lot… and don’t have many places to put it down… You’re invited to come and exhale.
Space is limited to 20. Please register to attend.
FAQs
- Who is this event for?
This event is for any business owner, leader, or solo entrepreneur who loves what they do but are also weary to their bones and looking for a way to stop treading water and float for a while without sacrificing their business.
If you believe a company can be run in a way that elevates employees and serves the community and positively impacts society while STILL making a profit, but that sometimes feels out of reach, then let's talk about it.
If you don't need another networking event, but DO want/need a community of other business owners to support you in an unstructured, authentic, grounding way, then join us.
Your business could be just you or it could be 1000 employees. You could be just starting or ready to retire. You could be in any industry. The one common thread we will share is our humanity... and our desire to build a better world through better businesses that regenerate us instead of deplete us. - If this isn't a networking event, what can I expect?
This will be a chance for businesses to meet one other in a low pressure, high support environment.
Think of it as a place to leave what you "do" outside and focus on your being.
Rebecca will kick off the gathering with some grounding breath work.
We will then have time to share in small groups about ourselves, our businesses and current well-being or employee struggles.
Rebecca will share practical take home tips/resources for combatting burnout that we can explore as a large group.
Then we will close with a guided meditation.
- Who is leading this event?
This event is being curated and led by Rebecca Hawkins of Regenerative Workplaces, a coaching/consulting practice focused on healing individual and systemic burnout. She is also an advisor on mental well-being and workplace culture for the Small Business Development Center serving the Pikes Peak Region.
In times of rapid change and uncertainty, Rebecca believes a leader’s superpower isn’t pushing harder - it's slowing down, breathing, and stepping into alignment. Before starting her own business, Rebecca worked for 30 years in operational, strategic and leadership roles in start-ups, mid-sized, and Fortune 100 companies. She combines that experience with Gallup Strengths Coach and trauma-informed yoga certifications (CYT-500), and a master’s in organizational leadership, blending business acumen with mindfulness and human behavior
