Instead, you find yourself glued to social media, cross-eyed from staring at screens, and separated from nature because you barely have time to walk in your own backyard.
The pressure to keep up with the Social Media Joneses, pump out content for algorithms, serve your customers and clients, all while holding some kind of Grand Vision for the future of your business and your impact on humanity?!?!?!?
If you've started to think that the current capitalistic and patriarchal way of doing business isn’t working for you, you’re not alone. It’s not wild or witchy. It’s exhausting.
You started your business so you could fully live your one Wild and Precious Life- now, not someday!
Wildly
different?
What if we did something

This is a place where we make space for magic.
introducing
the CREATIVITY COVEN
A PLACE TO GATHER AROUND THE VIRTUAL CAULDRON AND BREW UP A BETTER WAY OF DOING BUSINESS
This is a place where we’ll focus on making time, not just spending time. A place to recover your energy, not overwhelm you with MORE TO DOs.
And because that’s hard — we’ll do it together. We’ll be accountability buddies to dive into our witchy, wild intuitive cores and apply our own pace, timing, and knowing to how we run our businesses.
Hustling for every click and chasing trends, we’re defining our own, individual, aligned way of connecting with our people.
Diving face-first into burnout, we’re exploring our own pace — maybe attuned to the seasons, or the Wheel of the Year, or moon phases, astrology, or Human Design…
Trying to fit our creativity into an algorithm, we embrace the childlike curiosity we had for creating (before we turned everything into jobs, #millennialproblems).
Feeling like marketing has taken over our SOULS, we'll experiment with slow, mindful mornings (with optional tea, journaling, meditation, pulling a tarot or oracle card, setting intentions, or taking a walk in the woods - whatever feeds your soul and fuels your day).
A group of Women Entrepreneurs who #GirlBoss and promote Hustle Culture … this is a community of women who want a nature-based business, who crave ease and flow who are learning to trust their intuition over ‘thought leaders’, and who enjoy drawing outside the lines.
Instead of...
A coven, if you will.
Together, we’ll explore how
to integrate
with sustainable business practices so you can take care of yourself —
and have the energy, presence, and focus to bring your magic to the people who need you.
We don’t have to do business like everyone else to succeed. Because success, for us, means being able to live and work with freedom, energy, meaningful connection — and magic.
Together, we’ll explore how to integrate nature, intuition, spirituality, and seasonality with sustainable business practices so you can take care of yourself — and have the energy, presence, and focus to bring your magic to the people who need you.
Our goals are simple:
To tap into our WILD creativity again — without tying it to jobs or outcomes.
To feel grounded, organized, and confident in our priorities — even when life feels chaotic — because we’ve aligned our tasks with our energy + the cycles of nature.
To allow ourselves to rest without guilt, to fight overwhelm by doing less, and by doing it all with intention.
You read Mary Oliver poems or Robin Wall Kimmerer and yearn to spend days wandering the woods, feeling connected to the earth
You’re spiritual/woo-woo/witchy/weirdo — however you describe yourself, you know what magic feels like in your life (at least, when you have enough time and energy to think about it!).
You’re so tired of the hustle and loneliness of running your own business.
You want to grow your business to the next level, but aren’t sure how you can without burning out. You want to explore your inner wildness and creativity, and to make space so you can clearly see your path forward (instead of getting lost in the weeds of the day-to-day).
this is for you
if...
let's brew up an antidote!
The logic part of your brain says You Can’t Run a Soulful, Slow Business and Still Make Money! And you need a community around you to drown out that voice in a chorus of YES YOU CAN.
You feel caught in a cycle of personal and business development consumerism, where you don’t come out with a lighter spirit, but you do come out with a lighter wallet.
You’ve taken TOO MANY PROGRAMS that promised amazing results, did not deliver them, and left you feeling exhausted and questioning whether it’s time to go back to working in someone else’s office.
You CRAVE feeling present, calm, balanced and clear on your direction. That doesn’t come from productivity apps or planners (you’ve tried those) — that comes from carving out space for inner work and rest.
This may be exactly what you need if:
A season in the Coven looks like:
Monthly live classes from guest experts and industry leaders to help you explore sustainable, creative and nourishing ways for building your business, along with supporting your body, mind + soul.
MASTERCLASSES
AKA office hours, this is a time to ask questions from me and the community about mastering your photos, discussing the latest training, brainstorm about your content, and everything in between.
CREATIVITY CLINICS
Gather together for an hour of gentle accountability and focus time for you to dedicate to your creative or business work. Coworking hours can help you achieve more than working alone!
Coworking
Reading accountability + discussion around non-fiction books focused on personal growth, business, nature, and feminism. Share your title suggestions and together, we’ll work through that TBR pile- and yes, Audible books count :)
Book Club
Remember when we used to create just for fun and to be creative, not to make money? Let's do that again! You’ll find ideas for craft projects, artist dates, photography inspiration, and writing prompts to bring more creative sparkle into your life.
CREATIVE PROMPTS
Printable guides + live planning circles to explore the upcoming seasonal energy and map out your goals and business tasks. Then, we’ll look back at our plans and intentions and see how things went, and make changes for the coming season.
PLANNING CIRCLES + PRINTABLES
When wild, witchy women come together to support each other and DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, that’s where the magic happens. This isn't some giant facebook group where you're just a number, but a small intimate group, where you'll be able to connect, collaborate, and learn from other's who GET IT.

When I decided to turn my love of photography into an online business, I bought all the courses and followed all the guru advice. But not much of it felt right or aligned.
I tried the hustling, “fill in the blank” templates, being "consistent", and none of it really worked. I always felt there was more I should be doing, but I was already exhausting myself.
I started to dread taking photos because they didn’t fit in with my cohesive Instagram branding. I began dreading writing because I was sick of creating for the sake of algorithms and 3-second attention spans.
And the idea for the Collective was born.
I don’t have all the answers. I can’t give you Ten Easy Steps to a Multi-Six-Figure Income. My role here is to be a guide as we redefine how to do business.
Meet your community leader,
Melissa Keyser
Let's explore...
...a new way to run our business, a wilder way, a way that leads out of the weeds and back into the woods. A way in which we can work with the earth and deepen our roots so our growth — in business, and in life — is supported.
JOIN NOW for $35 a month
Yes. Yes it does.
We’ll be working with tarot cards, astrology, intuition and all kinds of other fun ways to explore nature-based, “witchy” spirituality. If that is not your jam, please don’t join a Coven. ;) That said, we don’t follow or prescribe ANY one way of believing or doing things. That’s the opposite of the point of this group.
As of right now, we do not have a consistent call schedule planned. Note that I'm located on the East Coast, and most things will be held during mid-day. I’m always open to time and day suggestions and will try to accommodate as much as possible. If you can’t join live, everything is recorded so you can watch the replay.
Some speaker ideas that have come in include:
- Using tarot cards, astrology, and human design in business
- Manifesting
- Breathwork and Mindfulness for Focusing
- Evergreen email funnels and SEO
- Understanding business financials and figuring out pricing
- Ergonomics and stretches for long days at the desk
- Meal planning, cooking & herbal routines for the season
- Working with menstrual cycles to know when to hustle + when to rest
Okay, so, the reason why I’m including a book club is because I have a giant TBR pile and I really want an excuse to read books and talk about them with someone other than my cat, such as:
Upstream, Mary Oliver
The Meaning In The Making, Sean Tucker
Stories that Stick, Kindra Hall
The Gap + the Gain, Dan Sullivan
Soundtracks, Jon Acuff
Adventures in Opting Out, Cait Landers
The Nature Fix, Florence Williams
Women on Nature, Katharine Norbury
If Women Rose Rooted, Sharon Blackie
Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit, Lyanda Lynn Haupt
If those titles excite you too, you’ve come to the right place!
Not at all! Unlike a course where you have to follow step by step, this is an ongoing journey and you can take what you need and explore what’s of interest. Nothing is mandatory. Dabble, peruse, or dive fully in.
This community is hosted on a platform called Circle- which is accessible on desktop or by app. It’s very easy and intuitive to use, and when you join you’ll immediately see a video that walks you through how everything is layed out. Plus, it's also where I host my Photo Alchemy course- so if you don’t have to go to multiple places!
Our emphasis is on working with YOUR seasonal energy. If that means high summer is in December, work with that. If you’re in, say, Southern California and winter is when everything grows, work with that energy. While many of us are in the Northern Hemisphere, we welcome members from all places! Don’t worry, we’ll share wintery photos of snow and rain exactly when you need them during your summer heat waves.
Will I see you inside?
Let's explore running our businesses in a WILDLY different way!
