About this Event

Forget everything you know about "networking."


If you're leading an impact-centered business or creator platform in 2026 - refining, expanding, leading, scaling, this is the room to connect in.Expansive business collaboration - with a dash of magic and play - happens here!

Orbit Collective is where experienced founders, disruptive leaders, and visionary creators gather to accelerate through aligned community and support.


2026 is the year of the fire horse in Chinese astrology - a year to stop waiting, and take bold action.


The vibe is warm. Not gatekeepy- ego stays at the door.


Because one part of the business landscape that hasn't changed? Referrals are queen!


So, the right people saying your name in those rooms, plus a genuine community who wants to see and help you win? A truly mask-off business and creator environment?

That's our elixir.Community is your fuel. Expansive, aligned collaborations happens here.


πŸ‘‘ Networking that feels nothing like it: Meet fellow 2026 PNW-based Members, featured at the event! And connect with our larger community Orbit (non-Members) too. We're creating a shelf at Elk Rock Outpost of shoppable items created by Orbit Members. Formerly "Upper Left Ladies", we're still largely women-led, but we've expanded to welcome all genders.

πŸ”₯ 6–7 PM: Year of the Fire Horse Vision Circle

We open the room with a facilitated circle designed to lock you into the saddle of your 2026 vision. Your saddle's waitin'. Jump on it and tap into the energy and community who will take you there this year. Connect on:

  • The standard you are holding this year
  • The vision you are claiming
  • Impact-driven, profitable partnerships
  • The expansion you are normalizing
  • Meet the collaborators that make scale lighter

You will speak your future in front of people who galvanize momentum. Celebrate you and your creations where you are now. And are ready to celebrate your 2026 vision realized at the end of the year.

Expect depth, clarity, and laughter. And some booty-shakin' dancing along the way. If you do business differently - and are ready for a joyful room that feels nothing like "networking"?


This is your space.


πŸ₯‚ 7–9 PM: Facilitated (gamified!) Connection, Music & Movement

Vibes. Imbibement. Conversations that revive your spirirt AND move the needle.

This is the kind of night where:

  • A referral partnership locks in
  • A podcast guest spot turns into a joint offer
  • Someone says, β€œWait, we should absolutely build that together.”

You do not leave with a stack of business cards.
You leave with aligned collaborators and real traction.
And a heart-relit-on-fire for your vision and community.


Plus get the tea on our in-person Member experience in Honolulu, HI later on in 2026.

Drop your art supply donations in the suitcase when you arrive, and founder Jyssica Leilani will bring to the island to support AAC's grand opening!



πŸ‘‘ Who This Is For

This is for experienced business owners, visionary creators, and artists who:

  • Understand the value of genuine collaboration and partnership
  • Value referrals over cold leads
  • Are building sustainably and strategically
  • Want high-level connection without posturing
