Welcome to the DMV Nova Constellation
An in-person community for accomplished founders, leaders, and culture-shaping creatives who are redefining the rules of success. Members gather two to three times a month for curated in-person experiences and connect with a global virtual community of women and non-binary leaders living with the same depth and intention.
Unlike traditional professional networks built around titles, transactions, and the pressure to perform, Nova is built for the whole woman — her ambition and her wellbeing, her professional goals and her personal growth — where depth is the culture and the relationships that form here turn into referrals, collaborations, clients, and career-defining opportunities.
Because building the right community is the best business strategy.
I walked into a traditional networking event the night before my first Nova event and the anxiety hit me like a wall. But in the Nova, there’s none of that. You just show up as yourself and the connections happen naturally.
Stacy Musgrave, Business Coach
I honestly don’t know that I could have launched my business in this beautifully iterative fashion without my connections at the Nova. The community was a testing ground, a launch pad, and a place where people just kept showing up for me.
Rachel Loewenherz, Star Path Founder
The Nova encapsulates my whole person and all the different parts of myself, which allows me to show up fully. I don’t have to put on a mask or show up as someone specific.
Erin Clifford, Financial Advisor
I knew I needed a community that could help me step into a new level of authenticity and success — a place where I could truly be seen, even in my most vulnerable moments.
Carrie Montgomery, Neurosomatic Leadership Coach

Meet the Leadership Team
Every Nova Constellation is led by a Luminary and supported by a Constellation Council — a small team of committed members who help shape, run, and grow the chapter. These are women who showed up consistently, cared deeply about the quality of the room, and were invited into a greater level of ownership.
The Council is not a committee. It is a leadership opportunity for women who want to build visibility, deepen their impact locally, and play a direct role in shaping what The Nova looks like in their city.

Why Join the DMV Nova Constellation?
Our Core Values and What They Mean for You:
- Bold Authenticity: Show up as you actually are and attract the right clients, collaborators, and opportunities — because women who see the real you are the ones who refer you, champion you, and open doors.
- Sacred Rebellion: Build on your own terms inside a community that rejects the patriarchal rules and find that your business grows faster when you stop contorting yourself to fit a model that was never yours.
-
Collective Reclamation: Reclaim your ambition and your wellbeing at the same time — with women who amplify your vision through speaking opportunities, referrals, introductions, and the kind of peer support that actually accelerates what you're building.
- Holistic Success: Grow your revenue, your relationships, and your sense of self, all at once, because the women in this room understand that none of those things are separate.
