The Nova Experience | A Professional Community Built for the Whole Woman

Thursday, 15th October 12-1 pm MST | 2-3 EST

Once a month, Melissa Bauknight, the founder of Nova, opens the door to The Nova in a live, virtual experience designed for women who are done settling for rooms that were never built for them. In one hour, you will hear the real story behind this community, meet women who are already inside it, and leave knowing whether this is the room you have been looking for.

It is free to attend, and if it is your room, you will know exactly how to step inside.

Upcoming: SuperNova Live

A two-day retreat where you leave recalibrated!

Sept 18 - 19 , 2026 | The Club at Rolling Hills, Golden, CO

SuperNova Live is for founders, executives, coaches, and creative leaders who are building intentional lives and careers and are done doing it without the right people around them.

This is the room where you figure out how you are actually wired to lead, connect, sell, and build wealth. And you do it next to women who are already living at the level you are reaching for.

Have you been waiting for a room like this? This is it.

A Movement for Soul-Led Leaders

The Nova’s events are more than just networking events or gatherings; they’re transformational experiences designed for soul-led professional women.

Our events are curated with our monthly themes to align with the ethos of The Nova, offering a unique blend of inspiration, connection, and education. Here, you’re not just attending; you’re participating in a movement.

Non-Member Participation
and How It Works
As a Non-Member, you can dip your toes into the magic up to two times before you join. Join us to witness the energy, explore the transformative power of The Nova, and meet our incredible network.

Being part of The Nova has ignited my confidence. Knowing that I’m not alone, surrounded by wonderful leaders creating big things, fuels my courage to talk with strangers and build new relationships. The Nova community is such a powerful space.

Nicole

In The Nova, I find empowerment in not being the smartest person in the room. Surrounded by amazing community, I’m inspired to take action without overthinking, trusting in my potential. I am committed to pushing myself authentically and fearlessly.

Taylor

This call was an absolute delight! It not only provided me with the opportunity to get to know everyone on a deeper level but also showcased the incredible ways we can support one another. I’m genuinely looking forward to more of these sessions—it was so much fun!
