Share real time business challenges, successes’ and curiosities

Create brave spaces that inspire change and meaningful connections

SVI Virtual is a two-day, online gathering of mission-driven, change-creating, women-identifying CEOs, entrepreneurs and investors.

SVI breaks through the usual barriers of business conferences. There are no pretenses here – this is an open and trusting space. This artfully-facilitated gathering offers problem-solving, experiential learning, skill-sharing and powerful conversation. It is an invitation to find the balance, insights and resources you need to propel your mission forward.

Peer-learning + real connection

Entrepreneurship can feel isolating, especially in this unsettled world. The magic of SVI is in the people you meet and the space that is curated intentionally.

This is an inclusive cross-generational, cross-cultural, cross-sectorial gathering, designed to generate insights and real connection. You’ll tap into the wisdom of diverse business minds and hearts through our peer-learning model.

This gathering addresses the specific needs of women-identifying leaders including Black, Indigenous, Queer, Latinx and all change-driven people. We go deep, holding space for the evolution that is needed to fulfill your mission. Come as you are. Expect the unexpected. 
“The warm, inclusive and professional culture of the work done at SVI, whether at an in-person or fully virtual conference breeds a ground ripe for personal and professional development. I learned so much about myself, tangible next steps in my professional life and a deep community of support!”  – SVI Virtual Participant

Tantra: Living Presence and Prana
I really enjoyed the course. I felt a great release and opening in my body, calming of the mind and a new awareness of holding patterns in my body. Thank you Maitreyi Yogacharini and Hollyhock! I am looking forward to the recorded session as I would like to follow the practice again.

Profoundly grateful!

Hollyhock's virtual Activate Summit was a much needed breathe of fresh air. The program gave me the chance to harvest and claim the long-forgotten power I have within, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded leaders to emerge - as an individual and as part of a community - able to shape the future, inwards out. The depth of knowledge and understanding of workshop leaders and plenary speakers made the program that much stronger - I only wish it was longer!

The Healing is Part of the Journey
Do not let the planes, ferries, shuttles, or taxis required to reach Hollyhock deter you. This is part of the magic of the place. By the time you arrive much of what you need to leave behind has been untethered into one of those named transportation devices. The setting is astounding. The overall vibe is that everyone is happy to be there, and happy to have you among them.

seriously funny, in writing and in life
Great session! Not too large, not too small. Our group came together with just the right energy and the retreat centre provided the serenity and safety to let us be both serious and crazy.
Hollyhock is well known for its beauty of location, but even better known for the delicious dishes its amazing staff serve up. And equally famous for its bread...both gluten and gluten free.
Best of all...inter conversations between everyone attending concurrent sessions. Just pick a table and jump in. This is where lifelong friendships happen.
In this crazy world it's reassuring to know that Hollyhock is there.
Thank you.
Did I mention the view from the outdoor Hot tub? Or the oyster roast on the beach? Yum!

connection, skill building
The Podcast from Hear was an audio storytelling program at Hollyhock. How much honesty and strength a circle of women can have, multiplied by the setting. We shared and grew, our group of diverse identities and experiences. Young empowered women and courageous professionals and artists of decades of expertise. Poets, scientists, Indigenous artists, sound engineers, soundscape artists, audio storytellers, professors of journalism and writing~ we had it all, we shared openly and with great heart.
I strongly recommend this amazing program!
