The Pepper Movement Partner Pager

Ready to co-create something bold together?

The Pepper Movement is not another business club or wellness circle. It’s a gut-led playground where bold women meet to move, grow, and connect — in Zurich, Rapperswil, and beyond.

And here’s the thing: we don’t do it alone.
We co-create. That’s where you come in.

WHY BECOME A PEPPER PARTNER? 

  • Visibility: Your event gets a prime spot on the Pepper Calendar (website + socials).

  • Credibility: Get featured, rated, and reviewed — more buzz, more Google love.

  • Flexibility: Host one event, or many. Short, long, creative — you decide.

  • Revenue: You get paid per event (fee for your time, your space, or both). Discounts or intro events are welcome if you choose.

  • Co-creation: Link your brand to something fresh — maybe a wine tasting with your expertise, a pepper dinner, or a bold workshop that only you could imagine.

This is your chance to export your brand into a bold new circle — while shaping a movement that’s just getting started.

WHAT IS THE PEPPER MOVEMENT

It’s not a networking group.
It’s a playground.

We meet several times per month — mostly in Zurich and around Switzerland — to do things that awaken your body, mind, and fire.
Think: yoga or breathwork one month, a guest entrepreneur talk the next, then a wine tasting or creative workshop that stretches you out of your comfort zone.

Each gathering fuels one of the three Gut pillars:

  • Performance — Build smarter, not harder.

  • Relationships — Connect with truth and joy.

  • Wellbeing — Protect your energy, recharge your fire.

Because real growth doesn’t happen behind a laptop.
It happens when we move, share, and feel alive together.

WHY I STARTED THE MOVEMENT

Hi — I’m Jolien.
A Belgian who’s called Chicago, Düsseldorf, Belgium, and now Switzerland home.
A founder, mom of two (one born Oct 2023, one Nov 2025), and woman on a mission to build a life — and a business — that actually feels good.

Over the last years, I’ve built multiple companies, raised funds, written books, and coached ambitious women worldwide. But moving to Switzerland, in between startups, motherhood, and mountains of ambition — I realized something was missing.

Connection. Real connection.
With women who think big, laugh loud, move fast — and still want more meaning.
Women who want to get out of their heads and into their lives again.
Who don’t wait for the perfect moment — they create it.

That’s why I started The Pepper Movement.
A space for bold women who are done making excuses and ready to put some pepper in their ass 🌶 — to grow, laugh, try new things, and connect deeply again.

HOW IT WORKS

  • 1) You bring the event.
    Your idea, your vibe, your expertise. Share the format, price, date, and time.
    Deadline to submit: December 31, 2025.

  • 2) We gather the people.
    Pepper handles sign-ups, payments, promotion, and logistics. From January–March 2026 we’ll run activations across Meetups and our channels to attract the right crowd.

  • 3) From April, we play.
    Starting April 2026, you lead the session, we host the space, and the community grows.

Simple, right? 🌶️

A few Q&As
(from those who already said yes):

Q: Which kind of event do I need to submit?

You don’t have to fit into a box — we’re all about co-creation, not conformity.

— a mix of ideas across our 3 categories: Relationships (connection) · Performance (creation) ·  Wellbeing (alignment). We drafted already a Pepper Wishlist Event, they’ll give you a sense of the kind of experiences we’re building — but we’re always open to fresh ideas that carry that same Pepper energy: bold, embodied, and real. If your event helps people connect, grow, or realign — it belongs here.

Q: What’s in it for me as a partner if you join as a Pepper Partner?

Your event gets a prime spot on the Pepper Calendar, keeping you visible and top-of-mind on socials. You’ll showcase your work in a fresh, unapologetically bold way, and attract exactly the right crowd — female entrepreneurs who are curious, ambitious, and ready to move. Most of all, you’ll stand at the frontline of the Pepper Movement, not just joining it, but actively shaping what it will become.

 

Q: Who is the Pepper Movement for?
For anyone ready to grow bolder — entrepreneurs, creatives, parents, or simply people who want more spark, connection, and gut-led living. Right now, we’re especially looking for partners who feel called to create for this kind of audience.

 

Q: Will we get paid as a partner?
Yes. Every event has a fee so you’re compensated — whether for your time, your space, or both. Of course, free or intro sessions are welcome if you choose.

 

Q: Where will events take place?
Mostly around Zürich & Rapperswil. Venues will always match the vibe — cozy, creative, and inspiring.

 

Q: How will people join the events?
Once the calendar is live, participants can sign up online and pay a small fee to secure their spot. We’ll use platforms like MeetUp, Eventbrite, Eventfrog, GutScaleurs.com, and of course, good old word of mouth.

 

Q: Do I need to commit long-term?
Not at all. You can join just one event or as many as you like. This first 3-month calendar is a test run — flexible, playful, and open.

 

Q: Can I host or suggest an event idea?
Yes, absolutely. The Gut Movement is co-created. If you have an idea, a skill, or a venue, bring it forward — we’d love to hear it.

 

Q: How does it work?
Think of it as a private session for the Pepper group. We gather, give a short intro, say hi to everyone, dive into the event (photoshoot, wine tasting, yoga, etc.), and close with a quick “Pepper Time” chat afterwards.

 

Q: I’m new to something I’m building… can I add my event?
Even better! The Gut Movement is about experimenting, learning, and practicing. You don’t need to be perfect — just gut-led. If you’re brewing an idea or project and want likeminded people to test with and get feedback from, this is the place.

 

Q: Do you need recommendations or partners?
Yes, 100%! I’d love to connect with like-minded partners, find venues, and co-create. If you know someone who belongs in the Pepper Movement, send them our way. Support and co-creation are the heartbeat of this community.

 

Q: Which language?
English will be the main language, so we can all connect together.

Q: What if too few people sign up?
We’ll set a minimum. If it’s not reached, we’ll cancel or reschedule together.
