Is this really all there is?

As part of our Encore Entrepreneurship initiative, The Wheelhouse is offering a weekly, conversation-centered series exploring how purpose, identity, and possibility evolve across every stage of life.

 

Led by Kirsten Farris, this thoughtful gathering is for those sensing a quiet nudge toward something more,  whether that’s a new business idea, a portfolio career, or a more intentional next chapter.

Tuesdays  11:00 am - 1 pm

Beginning Monday March 2, 2026 10 - 11 am (Presentation).png

10 - 11 am
April 6
May 4
June 1

This series is designed for business owners, managers, and leaders who recognize that caring for themselves is not a luxury, it’s a responsibility. Clear thinking, steady leadership, resilience, and purpose don’t happen by accident. They require intention.

Each first Monday of the month, we’ll gather from 10:00 - 11:00 AM for a guided conversation focused on tending to the human side of leadership - the mindset, habits, and inner alignment that make it possible to lead well over the long haul.

Are you building a side business, growing a passion project, or exploring network marketing alongside your main gig?
 
We’re gathering on the second Tuesday of each month for a facilitated, conversation-based evening designed to connect like-minded people who want to swap ideas, talk strategy, and encourage one another - without pitching, recruiting, or pressure.

Some people come with a challenge they’re working through, others bring an idea they’re exploring, and many simply come to listen and learn from the conversation.

 

Whether you’re building a business, thinking about starting one, supporting entrepreneurs, or just curious about what’s happening in our local ecosystem, there’s always a seat at the table.

Coffee is on us. 
Conversation is even better.

I’ve Got an Idea… Now What? 

Saturday, April 18
10 am - 12 noon

 

Have an idea you keep coming back to — but you’re not sure what to do with it?  A two-hour Discovery workshop designed for people at the very early stages of considering a business, side venture, or entrepreneurial project.

 

Hosted by The Wheelhouse, this Saturday morning session introduces entrepreneurial thinking — how entrepreneurs look at ideas, identify real problems, and decide what (if anything) to pursue next.
