The Forest : Your Third Place

The Forest

A one-of-a-kind mastermind for impact-driven, multicultural, women entrepreneurs to deeply connect, learn and grow — in business, life, and the space in between — with less screens and more nature.

Enter The Forest

Suited for introverts and extroverts alike.

Are these 3 things your TOP priorities right now?

→ Generating sustainable income

→ Living a deeply healthy and happy life

→ Creating impact that aligns with your vision

If you nodded yes, then you already know that having a strong support system is crucial for achieving them.

And how consistent learning, combined with real-world practice, can accelerate your journey.

Thing is, you're surrounded by either salaried folks, entrepreneurs who don't care about impact, or all impact but no sustainable income.

There's no one to bounce your ideas off, give you insightful feedback, or help you grow your business in a way that feels inspiring.

So you start looking for mastermind groups and communities, or perhaps you've already joined one.

You hoped for valuable insights, meaningful connections and business growth.

But what they offer isn't just filling your unique needs.

ⅹ Long Zoom calls and transactional conversations that drain your energy.

ⅹ Slack and WhatsApp threads that only add noise and distraction.

ⅹ Unstructured meetings dominated by loud voices, leaving you with little space to learn, contribute or feel included.

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

While mastermind groups and communities are designed to help entrepreneurs grow, many fall short — leaving members feeling frustrated, disconnected, and like they’ve wasted their time, energy and money.

What if there was another way?

A women's only mastermind and community that focuses on...

Actively helping you get more clients, projects, and revenue in a way that's aligned with your values.

Need someone to share your post, co-create content, or make an introduction? Are you seeking feedback? All you need to do is ask. Here, we actively help one another to win.

Supporting your growth by facing what's difficult and making it feel less difficult - side by side.

Growth is never easy. It's scary, it's hard, but you don't have to go at it alone. Together, through our cultural diversity and lived experiences, we'll explore, discuss, and find support at every step.

Helping you take your next best move by gathering insights from the head, the heart, the body, and the gut.

There are many types of intelligence available to us that can help us achieve success in any and every area of our lives. In our sessions, we'll access them by thinking, feeling, moving, and sensing, to help us make the most well-informed decisions.

Hi, I’m Trish — the gardener behind The Forest. So glad you’re here!

Over the last decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with impact-driven entrepreneurs across Europe and Asia, to not only build thriving businesses but also live lives that feel truly fulfilling.

And after thousands of hours of coaching, community building, leading workshops, and facilitating transformative retreats, a realization came — something so simple yet profound.....

No one can do it alone. Not me, not you. Not even the most capable, most resilient, or most driven entrepreneur.

I’ve seen this time and time again — growth happens not when you go at it alone but when you’re supported, challenged, and inspired by others.

Thus, The Forest was born.

Introducing The Forest

More than a mastermind, more than a community. It's your third place.

Where cultures, perspectives, and experiences converge to create something deeply holistic, impactful and transformative — all without screens.

Our mission? To cultivate deeper connections….

With oneself – Through quiet time and deep introspection that bring clarity.

With others – Through heartfelt conversations that challenge and expand our ways of being, thinking, and doing.

And with the world around and beyond us – Through immersive, nature-based experiences that energize and inspire.

The 4 PILLARS that makes us ONE-OF-A-KIND

Quality over Quantity

It’s not about how many people we meet, it's about how deeply we connect. Here, relationships are intentional, progress is consistent, and growth is impactful.

We don’t count the number of members we have. Rather, we give importance to the value we create in and through us.

Disconnect to Connect

Our 60-minute weekly conversations happen on a simple audio call, stripping away potential distractions, guided by a professional facilitator.

With nothing but our voices, we engage in transformative dialogue that deepens understanding and connection.

Collectivism over Individualism

There is no “I”, only “we”. There is no expert, only learners. In The Forest, we mentor and are mentored, fostering an intentional practice of collective growth.

This is a match for those who value the wisdom of the group over the expertise of one.

Natural over Artificial

Whether it’s a walk through the woods, by the shore of a quiet beach, or simply stepping outside to a nearby park, nature is our anchor.

Every gathering is rooted in the natural world inspiring clarity, creativity, and renewal. It’s good for the health, the business and the soul.

Is The Forest calling you? Here's what awaits...

A rare group of growth-minded and like-hearted entrepreneurs.

Join a manually selected group of women who share similar challenges and values, to actively build a community in a world where meaningful connections can be rare.

Transformative and creative conversations fueled by nature.

Engage in weekly, voice-only calls led by professional facilitators, to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature. Get ready for breakthroughs, deep insights, and accelerated growth.

Meaningful partnerships and exclusive retreats.

Immerse yourself in exclusive retreats in breathtaking locations across Europe and Asia where you'll meet and engage with a close-knit group of impact-driven, multicultural women, and explore collaborations that go beyond just revenue.

Lifetime access to collective wisdom.

Enjoy lifetime access to a growing library of documented knowledge and insights from community conversations. Tap into this collective intelligence whenever you need inspiration, guidance, or fresh ideas.

Who will benefit most from The Forest?

The Forest is designed for multicultural and impact-driven women entrepreneurs who are seeking :

Active business growth.
Deeper, more meaningful connections.
A different kind of mastermind.

When we say multicultural, we mean someone who lives in another country outside of where they born, and is probably going to move again in the future, or is currently living between countries.

And impact-driven means that your business is for the good of someone or something. It cares not only about profit, but also the people or the planet, or both.

It’s suited for introverts and extroverts alike who value quality over quantity.

Are retreats included in the fee?

Retreats are not included in the fee but are offered at a discounted rate for members. These gatherings are optional but highly recommended.

How are groups formed?

Groups are thoughtfully matched based on your application, preferences, and shared goals to ensure compatibility and alignment. Each group has a maximum of four members to maintain intimacy and depth.

Stand still.

The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost.

Wherever you are is called here,

and you must treat it as a powerful stranger,

must ask permission to know it and be known.

The forest breathes. Listen.

It answers, I have made this place around you.

If you leave it, you may come back again, saying here.

No two trees are the same to raven.

No two branches are the same to wren.

If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,

You are surely lost.

Stand still.

The forest knows where you are.

You must let it find you.
