Los Angeles Unspeakeasy Retreat



Los Angeles, CA  April 11-12, 2026

Two days in a private Los Angeles home with a small group of intellectually curious women for thoughtful, candid, totally off-the-record conversations you won’t find on social media—or even in most living rooms.

Acclaimed essayist, journalist, and critic Caitlin Flanagan will be our guest speaker.

Caitlin, who’s been called “one of America’s most incisive essayists” (we agree!) has been a contributor to The Atlantic for more than 20 years. No matter what she’s writing about–literature, popular culture, education, politics, domestic life, the MeToo movement, or abortion–she defines and distills the complexities of her subject like no one else. She is the author of To Hell With All That, Girl Land, and On Thinking For Yourself: Instinct, Education, Dissension.

Caitlin will join us for an intimate, off-the-record conversation.  Discussion topics will be curated based on participants’ interests.
