There’s a tender ache in transitions — the kind that holds both gratitude and growing pains. If you’ve ever felt the pull of a new season while still wrapping your arms around the beauty of the one you’re leaving, you get it. That’s me right now. One foot in a decade of weddings. One foot in what’s next.
The Evolution of XO Social Haus: From Celebrations to Conscious Expansion
XO Social Haus was born from love — literally.
For over ten years, I walked alongside couples during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. I curated timelines, navigated vendor meetings, held emotional space, and celebrated under countless twinkle lights. Union Event Co. (as it was once known) shaped me. And I’m forever grateful.
But seasons shift. And I’m no longer called to the altar. I’m called to the circle.
This isn’t a goodbye to weddings — it’s a full-body yes to what’s next.
What Our Creative Retreats Are All About
XO Social Haus is now a space for creative retreats for women entrepreneurs who crave a business that honors their nervous system and creative rhythms — not one that runs on hustle and burnout.
We’re creating rooms where real conversations happen.
Where strategy meets stillness.
Where big visions are welcomed and nervous system support is non-negotiable.
Think: sun-drenched villas. Cozy cabins. Virtual gatherings that feel like a deep exhale.
No trust falls required.
For the Women Ready to Do Business Differently
This isn’t just about pivoting a brand. It’s about remembering what alignment actually feels like.
If you’ve been pushing through, questioning your pace, or wondering why building a business has to feel so exhausting — it doesn’t.
“Alignment isn’t just about what you do — it’s about how your business feels when you do it.” — Stephanie Laur
These retreats are for the big-hearted entrepreneurs. The soft rebels. The leaders who let their nervous system lead.
We’re not sprinting.
We’re expanding slowly.
Sustainably. On purpose.
Because burnout isn’t a business model.

FAQ: Creative Retreats for Women Entrepreneurs
What is a creative retreat for women entrepreneurs?
An intentional gathering that blends business growth with nervous system support, creativity, and community — so you return home recharged and inspired.
Why choose a rhythm-led retreat over a traditional business conference?
Because you’ll leave with both strategy and sanity. No back-to-back panels. No overwhelm. Just spacious, intentional time to focus on what truly matters.
Where are XO Social Haus retreats held?
Our home base is Hood River, Oregon — but we host wherever inspiration calls. Think Pacific Northwest, Baja California Sur, and beyond.
With reverence for what was — and deep trust in what’s coming,
