Our mission: to thrive together

Flourish Networking Group was born from a shared journey through The Artist’s Way, where we discovered the power of mutual support in fostering both personal and professional growth. Guided by the principles of an Open Heart and an Open Mind, we are committed to creating a nurturing space where every member can thrive. Strong back, warm heart!

About Us

Emilya Colliver is a passionate advocate for creativity and the founder of Art Pharmacy, Sugar Glider Digital, and Flourish Women’s Networking, which she launched in 2023 over intimate dinners.

Flourish began in 2023 as a series of intimate dinners bringing together women in business for honest conversations, connection, and support. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant, multi-state community where women gather through events, book clubs, workshops and experiences designed to inspire leadership, creativity and meaningful relationships.

Alongside Flourish, Emilya is an international art consultant and the Founder and Managing Director of Art Pharmacy, a B Corp-certified art consultancy that works with architects, developers and organisations to integrate art into the built environment. Through both Art Pharmacy and Sugar Glider Digital, she champions artistic expression through thoughtful curation, digital innovation and cultural storytelling.

Emilya is passionate about creating spaces where people feel connected, inspired and empowered to bring their ideas to life.

In 2025, she launched the Conscious Leadership Deck, a set of reflection cards designed to support intuitive thinking, creativity and more conscious leadership. The cards are now used in workshops, gatherings and Flourish events as a way to spark deeper conversations and insight.

If you would like to learn more about Flourish, collaborate on an event, or explore partnership opportunities, we would love to hear from you.

Elevate & Restore | Flourish is built for women who lead, in business, in teams, in their communities, and at home. We create space to grow intentionally and recharge meaningfully, because sustainable leadership requires both ambition and restoration.

Strong Back, Warm Heart | The women of Flourish are high-achieving and deeply human. They lead organisations, build businesses, raise families, and show up fully, often all at once. We honour that strength, and we create a community warm enough to let vulnerability, honesty, and heart coexist alongside it.

Conscious Leadership | We believe the most powerful leaders are self-aware, open-minded, and intentional in how they show up. At Flourish, we actively invest in our growth, as professionals, as creatives, and as human beings, knowing that who we are shapes everything we do.

Rise Together | We share knowledge generously, make introductions freely, and champion each other's ambitions without hesitation. Collaboration over competition is not just a value here; it is how we operate.

Open-Hearted to All | We lead with empathy and welcome diversity of thought, background, and experience. An open heart is not a weakness; it is one of the most powerful leadership qualities we can cultivate.

At Flourish, these principles shape how we connect, lead, and grow, guided by the belief that conscious, open-hearted leadership changes not just our businesses, but the world around us.

Respectful Community Flourish is a professional space for connection, creativity, and growth. To honour this, we ask that members refrain from solicitation, sales pitches, and political debate during gatherings. We are here to lead, learn, and flourish, together.
