A Gathering of W.I.S.E. Women
Well-Being, Inspiration, Self-Care & Empowerment
Join us during the month of October for featured topics and candid conversations designed to inspire and empower mental, physical and emotional health for women of all ages, their family and friends.
We are delighted to announce the return of one of our most iconic series, “A Gathering of Wise Women” coming this fall. Embracing the significance of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this four week series will inspire and empower women, friends and family through connection, conversation and our commitment to continually elevate mental, emotional, and physical health.
This month-long program will tackle vital topics through intimate “Sister Circles,” fostering open discussions without taboo. Participants and leaders will delve into core issues affecting mind, body, and life changes, including menopause, pre-natal and post-natal care, hair loss, sound sleep, skin changes, low sex drive, humor, relationships, illness, and grief.
Book any of our best available offers during the month of October to take part in this inspiring series.
