Wild Instincts  ·  Invitation-Only

Some rooms
change you.

A closed-door salon evening for women who have built something significant — and are ready for a conversation where none of that is the headline.

The premise

You have capital, competence, and a complex life. What you may not have is a space where none of that is the headline.

Some women reach a point where the next right move is not another venture, another board seat, or another achievement. The resume is not the problem.

Wild Instincts is a series of private, closed-door salon evenings for ultra-high-net-worth women at serious inflection points. Post-exit founders. Family office principals. Senior executives navigating what comes next.

The best entry point is a private conversation — or an invitation to a Wild Instincts salon evening in a select city near you.

Deliberately designed. Carefully curated.

Private

Groups are intimate by design. Confidentiality is non-negotiable. There is no stage, no social media agenda, and no requirement to share anything you don't wish to.

High Craft

Every element is considered — the room, the table, the conversation, the women in it. The experience is curated the way serious things deserve to be.

Non-Performative

This is not a networking event. It is not a panel. It is a room of select women in genuine conversation — the kind that only happens when the right people are together.

Women who have done the extraordinary thing.

  • Post-exit founders navigating identity and purpose after significant liquidity events
  • Family office principals managing legacy, capital, and what it means to lead quietly
  • Senior executives at major inflection points — between chapters, not between jobs
  • Women who are ready for a serious conversation with themselves, held somewhere wild enough to tell the truth

"You don't need another trip. You may, however, be ready for one serious conversation with yourself — held in a place wild enough to tell you the truth."

Sarah Marquis

National Geographic Society Explorer  ·  Author  ·  Solo Expeditionist

Each Wild Instincts salon evening includes a live conversation with Sarah Marquis — one of the world’s most accomplished solo wilderness expeditionists, having walked alone through some of the most unforgiving terrain on earth.

She joins not to speak at the room, but to be in it. What she brings is a particular kind of clarity that only comes from having been somewhere completely wild and found yourself equal to it.

The salon is also your first introduction to the immersions and micro-expeditions she co-leads through The Lightness of Being Project — five-day field experiences in rare wilderness, designed for women who are ready for a serious conversation with themselves.
