What it’s all about
The Brio Collective is a transformational experience for women across the state to reflect, connect, and ignite their spirit alongside a cohort of 28 inspirational women. This six-week intensive program is facilitated through an in-person retreat followed by five consecutive weeks of virtual speakers and workshops. Brio means ‘with vigor’ or ‘spirited’ -- join Wyoming’s influential and impactful women leaders to be inspired, gain knowledge, and form meaningful relationships.

Women who are craving a dynamic connected community. Brio will take you out of your day to day grind and create space for you to refresh your spirit and invest in yourself. If you want to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired by other amazing women, The Brio Collective is for you.

“It was so impactful for me to hear stories of how other women are navigating challenges and opportunities in their personal and professional lives. In particular, I loved hearing from other mothers as I came to realize I’m not ‘alone’ and that there are tons of kickass ladies who are also learning to manage the ‘chaos’ in their lives.”
