  • COMING SOON

    A salon is a gathering of people encouraged by the host to partake in discussion and interaction that inspires passion, (amicable) debate, and new friendships.

    Salons have a centuries-old tradition, and can be traced back to the French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries.

    These events will be hosted one Sunday a month, for two hours. A general theme will be presented for each event to inspire conversation, but not dictate conversation.

    Let's create a vibrant and supportive community; form meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, and collaborate on projects that inspire innovation and growth.

  • Founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners who want to expand their network and local customer base.

    Performers, artists, writers, and content creators wishing to share their work and voices.

    Innovators, influencers, press and media seeking connection and inspiration.

  • COMING SOON

    These events will hosted in Portland, Maine.

    Please join the waitlist for an official invitation to our Salon Sundays event series.

  • Our objectives:

    • Create an environment where entrepreneurs can engage in stimulating discussions, share diverse perspectives, and inspire each other through thought-provoking dialogue.

    • Facilitate unique networking opportunities that encourage the formation of lasting professional relationships and collaborations, strengthening the entrepreneurial community.

    • Encourage participants to explore new ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and ignite their passion for innovation through interactive sessions led by industry experts and coaches.

why bring back the salon?

We are in an emergent era.

We have been dormant.

Our platform for connection has been remote, divisive, and replicated by AI.

In our emergent era, we welcome a renaissance.

Speaking person-to-person reminds us of our humanity. It provides space for deliberate, active listening and exchanging of thoughts.

It’s a space to share our creative projects, find our Muse, support each other, and find ways to lift each other.
