SuperNova Live 2026

The "anti-conference" for Ambitious, Soul-Led Women & Non-Binary People, built the Nova way

September 17-19, 2026 | The Club at Rolling Hills, Golden, CO

It’s a high-frequency gathering for women & non-binary leaders who are building the next era of power, partnership, and purpose—without leaving themselves behind to do it.

No more rooms asking you to perform or earn your worth.

No more hiding your hunger for something more honest, impactful, or soul-aligned.

Here, you get to exhale. Drop the mask.
Meet people who go deep and think big.
And finally find connection that matches your caliber—not just your ambition.

SuperNova Live is for...

leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, or visionaries

who are tired of surface-level networking and craving depth

and are ready to stop performing success and start living it on their terms

and also done with outdated leadership & leading with feminine power.

A Nova is a star that suddenly becomes drastically brighter-it holds a quiet light for a long time, and then…

Something inside it ignites.

A SuperNova is when that brightness doesn’t just grow-it explodes into magnitude.

It becomes a force. A ripple.

A new burst of light that changes everything in its field.

And here’s the thing, most people miss that a supernova isn’t about a star burning out.

It’s about a star giving back-it releases its energy so radically that it seeds new worlds.

You'll Leave With...

At SuperNova Live, you’ll leave with both soul-shifts and practical takeaways you can use right away:

That’s what happens here.

The Eddy Hotel

Modern, outdoorsy, and grounded in Golden’s easy glow. The Eddy Taproom & Hotel is your boutique basecamp at the foothills—guest-only rooftops with firepits and mountain views, cozy rooms that reset your nervous system, and a lively Taproom downstairs pouring craft cocktails and local drafts. The sweet spot between trail days and warm, connected evenings. Adventure and ease, all in one place.

The Golden Hotel

Creekside, classic, and right in the heart of Golden. The Golden Hotel sits along Clear Creek with foothill views and an easy stroll to shops, trails, and the river path. Rooms are warm and well-appointed—think plush robes, mini-fridge, and in-room coffee—and Bridgewater Grill’s creekside patio is perfect for slow mornings or golden-hour dinners. Ideal if you want grounded rest with effortless access to downtown

Denver Marriott West

Denver Marriott West is an easy base in the Denver West corridor—quick access to I-70, downtown Golden, and a short drive to Red Rocks when you’re craving a show under the stars. Two pools (indoor and outdoor), a solid fitness center, and Copper Creek for casual drinks and dinner make it easy to relax between adventures

FAQ

If you’re a visionary, soul-led woman or non-binary person who’s craving more clarity, more connection, and more alignment in how you lead and build—yes, this is for you. If you’re done with hustle and surface-level spaces, and you’re ready for a room that mirrors your depth and ambition, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Nova is more than just a networking group—it’s a bold, soulful movement at the intersection of career growth, community, and personal alignment. At its heart, The Nova is dedicated to:

  • Empowering women & non-binary people in their businesses and careers.
  • Supporting soulful work by helping you align professional success with personal purpose.
  • Fostering meaningful relationships through genuine, purpose-driven networking.
  • Creating a supportive space where successful women & non-binary people can thrive holistically.

The Nova transcends traditional networking by combining practical tools, personal growth, and heart-centered connection, all in a culture of authenticity, equity, and inclusion.

Plan to arrive in Golden by Thursday morning (or Wednesday evening if you want a little extra spaciousness before we begin) if you are attending the extra Visionary Dinner and Dance Thursday evening.

SuperNova Live begins Friday at 9 am and  wraps by 3 PM on Saturday.

Not necessarily. This retreat is invite-only, and Nova members receive first access. If you’ve been personally invited or feel deeply aligned with the experience, we’d love to hear from you.. If you’re not yet a member and this experience is calling to you, reach out. We’d love to talk.

No, but we’ve curated three beautiful options—each with its own vibe. We recommend The Golden Hotel, The Eddy Hotel or The Marriott West. 

You might not yet—but you’ll leave with women who feel like lifelong collaborators. We will also do a pre-retreat call for people to get to know one another and make intentional introductions so you never feel alone.

Also if you register with a friend with the “bring a friend” bonus – you’ll each get $100 off your ticket! 

Layers for shifting weather, comfortable shoes, your journal, and anything else that helps you feel like your full, grounded self. We’ll send a full packing list closer to the event.

You can get a rental car but it’s super easy to arrange transportation with a buddy or Uber/Lyft

Yes. Spaciousness is part of the design—and you’ll always have the option to step back, take a breath, or opt out of any session if your body says you need it.
