Welcome to the heart of our passion, where the magic of connections, cookies, and creativity unite. Here at Flourish Events and Retreats, we’re not just about sweet treats. We’re about flourishing relationships, driving business growth, and bringing out the individual talents in each of us. Founded by Meaghan and Jannica, our story is a testament to the power of connection, both online and off.

 

Our journey began as two individuals sharing the same business aspirations. First, we connected over social media. The parallels in our lives were uncanny: similar business models, children of the same ages, and even residing in the same state. This connection swiftly transitioned into a mutual respect and friendship, with each of us serving as a sounding board for the other, sharing insights, brainstorming business solutions, and helping each other succeed.

 

But beyond our individual businesses, we shared similar passions. Both of us adore throwing parties, creating, and making environments come alive with beauty. We both have the desire to connect and uplift others, especially within the cookie community and this desire paved the way for our very first venture. In March of 2022, our vision came to life in the creation of the “Utah Cookier” event, which is not merely a get-together but a heartfelt celebration of deserving women-owned businesses.

 

Our dreams have now grown. While the “Utah Cookier” event remains close to our hearts and is a yearly staple, our vision has evolved beyond. We’re on a mission to extend the joys of our events to weekend long retreats. Our retreats serve as an experience for learning, networking, and celebrating the tasty dessert community. Each retreat is designed with love, aiming for participants to leave with not just enhanced skills and business insights but also lifelong friendships and a deeper affinity for the cookie community.
