NW Chicagoland Nova: Catalyst Circle
Networking Reimagined — Where Belonging Becomes Strategy
The Nova Global is a national community for women and non-binary professionals who are done performing and ready to build success that actually feels good.
Curated Circles for Women Creating with Intention
NW Chicagoland | last Tuesday of the month @ Dayhouse Schaumburg I 6:30 - 8 pm
Catalyst Circles are designed as a place to think out loud, try ideas on, and be supported by the wisdom of the room.
This is a space to bring what you’re curious about, building toward, questioning, or quietly holding, and let it move through conversation rather than carrying it alone. You don’t need a polished idea or a clear ask. You just need a desire for a thoughtful room where things can take shape.
Each month, we gather for a midday pause that offers clarity, connection, and momentum — without the structure or commitment of a long-term program.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A CATALYST CIRCLE
We meet in small, intentionally held groups of three to four people, facilitated by Nova. The size is deliberate — intimate enough for depth, spacious enough for perspective.
Within your small group, you’ll have space to:
incubate ideas and possibilities
talk through questions or decisions
ask for reflection or guidance
hear how others are thinking and moving
This is a collaborative sandbox, not a coaching session or mastermind. There’s no pressure to perform, pitch, or arrive with answers. The facilitator’s role is to hold the container and guide the flow so everyone has space to participate.
You’ll leave feeling clearer, more supported, and less alone with what you’re creating.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Catalyst Circles are for women and non-binary professionals who value thinking in conversation with others and want a place to explore ideas without rushing them.
This experience is especially supportive if you’re curious about deeper work and want to engage in a thoughtful, self-contained circle without committing to an ongoing container.
Infused & Empowered: Renew & Refresh Wellness MicroRetreat
Something is stirring - can you feel it?
The heaviness of winter is lifting, and your body knows it's time to rise with the season.
We're gathering for an evening of renewal - and we'd love for you to join us. This is your invitation to exhale.
After months of pouring out to everyone around you, this is an evening designed entirely around you - your restoration, your vitality, your aliveness.
You'll arrive to a warm, cozy space and leave feeling genuinely nourished on all levels of body, mind, and nervous system.
Here's what's included in your $199 experience:
An Immunity IV Infusion crafted to replenish the key nutrients your body has been craving - supporting recovery, protection, and that vibrant, energized feeling you're ready to step back into.
A guided meditative experience to settle your nervous system, bring you home to yourself, and deepen the absorption of your infusion for maximum effect. Think: spa-level calm meets real, cellular nourishment.
A warm and restorative environment, because the space you're held in matters.
Light refreshments and a few extra goodies, because of course. ☺️
This micro-retreat is made for moms, friends, and wellness-minded women who are ready to welcome spring from a place of fullness rather than depletion.
Spots are limited - save yours today.
Empowerment Circle: April: Awakening
April Theme: Come Alive Again
April is the season of Emergence — and this circle is an invitation to notice what's waking up inside you.
After months of wintering — of resting, retreating, tending the unseen (or maybe tending sick kids and your own heavy heart) — something is stirring.
Maybe it's a pull toward creation. A quiet longing you've been too tired to name. A spark of clarity after a long season of fog.
Or maybe it's simpler than that: you just want to feel alive again.
Not performing aliveness. Not hustling toward it. Just... present. Awake. Attuned to what feels true and vibrant right now.
This month's Empowerment Circle is a space to explore what awakening feels like in your body, your heart, and your life — without pressure to make it mean something or turn it into a plan.
Together, we'll tune into:
What feels alive for you in this moment — the stirrings, the longings, the quiet yes's that have been waiting for permission
The difference between vibrancy and urgency — how to honor what's emerging without pushing, forcing, or performing your way into it
How to hold space for both the tender and the electric — the part of you that's still healing and the part that's ready to bloom
This Circle is about presence, not pressure. It's about noticing — and trusting — the life force moving through you, even when it's soft, slow, or uncertain.
We'll work with embodiment practices, reflective inquiry, and the grounded wisdom of Self-energy to reconnect with what's real, what's ready, and what wants to come alive through you this season.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need to show up "on" or "optimized." You only need a willingness to listen inwardly, honor what's true, and be held in a space of curiosity, presence, and sisterhood.
This is aliveness as a practice — not a performance.
Empowerment Circles are a space to soften, listen, and reconnect with the grounded, intuitive presence within you — steady, wise, and always available beneath the surface.
Deepen your intuition, self-trust, and sense of empowerment in a supportive circle of like-hearted women.
Together, we’ll slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the wisdom that’s always been within you. Through journaling, embodiment practices, and sisterhood connection, you’ll be guided back home to yourself — nourished, grounded, and inspired.

NW Chicagoland Nova: Connect + Elevate
Networking Reimagined — Where Belonging Becomes Strategy
The Nova Global is a national community for women and non-binary professionals who are done performing and ready to build success that actually feels good.
We’re building local chapters across the country, and now, NW Chicagoland joins the constellation.
Connect + Elevate is Nova’s new signature monthly gathering in Schaumburg, created for women and non-binary seasoned professionals who want meaningful connection, thoughtful conversation, and growth that actually feels aligned with their lives. Not just more contacts but people who understand why your values matter as much as your vision.
This isn’t about filling a calendar or working a room. It’s about spending your time with people who make you think differently, feel more like yourself, and leave you feeling more seen than when you arrived.
APRIL'S THEME: Equity in Action
Join us for Equity & Entrepreneurship: Embodied Action for the Collective.
SPEAKER: Lauren Rapp, Priestess, Therapist, Advocate
Equity begins with awareness and grows through commitment. This month is about looking at how fairness and inclusion take shape in our daily choices — in our workplaces, partnerships, and communities. Together, we’ll explore how to create conditions where everyone’s voice matters and every contribution counts.
THE EXPERIENCE
CONNECT
We begin with guided connection around our theme of the month — not icebreakers, but intentional dialogue that moves purposefully into real conversation. The structure is designed to help you meet people you are so excited to know, without forcing performance or small talk.
You’ll leave this portion with a sense of who’s in the room and who you want to continue the conversation with outside the room.
ELEVATE
In the second half, a Nova member leads a short, live workshop rooted in lived experience. These sessions are practical, relevant, and grounded — offering insight you can apply immediately.
Topics vary month to month and include leadership, money, visibility, communication, wellbeing, or sustainable success. Each workshop is designed to elevate both the member leading and the collective intelligence of the room.
You’ll leave with new connections, feeling expanded, and a feeling that you've finally found the room you've been looking for.

Empowerment Circle: March: Women’s History & Your Inheritance
March is Women’s History Month — and this circle is an invitation to remember that you are history in the making.
Long before you learned to doubt yourself, to quiet your voice, to contort your needs to belong - there were women before you who survived, resisted, created, nurtured, and endured.
Some of their strength lives in your bones.
Some of their wounds live there too.
This month’s Empowerment Circle is a space to gently explore the unseen threads that shape who we are - our ancestry, our lineage, and the stories we’ve inherited about womanhood, worth, power, and belonging.
Together, we’ll reflect on the ways the past lives in the present:
how ancestral resilience shows up as intuition, creativity, and inner knowing
how generational patterns can influence self-doubt, over-responsibility, or disconnection from self
and how remembering where we come from can become a powerful act of reclamation - not obligation
This is not about glorifying the past or carrying what was never yours to hold.
It’s about discerning what is yours to keep - and what you are ready to lay down.
In circle, we’ll work with self-trust, inner authority, and collective witnessing to reconnect with the parts of ourselves shaped by those who came before us - and consciously choose how we carry that legacy forward.
You don’t need to know your ancestry - or awareness or experience of ancestral unburdening.
You only need a willingness to listen inwardly and be held in a space of reflection, curiosity, and sisterhood.
This is remembrance as empowerment.
And if you’re an Oldest Daughter - this one is especially for you. :)
Deepen your intuition, self-trust, and sense of empowerment in a supportive circle of like-hearted women.
Together, we’ll slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the wisdom that’s always been within you. Through journaling, embodiment practices, and sisterhood connection, you’ll be guided back home to yourself — nourished, grounded, and inspired.

Infused & Empowered: A micro-retreat for the woman feeling depleted
Are you over this flu season as much as I am?!?!
I'm teaming up with Lyndsay Hoffman, NP of LTH Beauty to bring you an evening of replenishment - for body, mind, and soul.
At this micro-retreat, you
✔ have your choice of an Immunity or Beauty IV infusion (both are formulated to give your body an infusion of potent nutrients needed to replenish and protect your health this season)
✔ a guided meditative experience to bring you home to yourself - and nourish your body from the inside out (increasing absorption of the infusion as you relax your nervous system to receive)
✔ a warm, cozy, and relaxing environment to support your calm, clarity, and vitality.
If this season has left you tired, drained, puffy, worn thin, and wondering how many more colds (or worse) your house can handle, we’ve got you.
Replenish key nutrients for immunity and vitality, and reclaim connection to yourSelf at Infused & Empowered.
Perfect for moms, friends, and wellness-minded women.
