gatherings

Founded in 2017, our Gatherings are a place and resource for the women of Atlanta to learn and grow together. These events are free and open to women of every age, stage, and season. They provide the opportunity for community with other women who are also pursuing personal growth and spiritual development. You’re invited to connect with new and old friends, learn from other's stories of courage and faith, and dig deep into topics that touch your life.

Cultivate Gatherings are guided by our deeply held belief that you are loved by a good God, and that your worth is not tied to how much you do, the impressiveness of your resume, or the fullness of your calendar. When you live rooted and established in this love, you cultivate joy in the everyday, courage to face your fears and insecurities, and freedom to live as you were created. 

Every topic, speaker, and song is selected with you in mind. Every detail, from the refreshments to the decor and the personal touches, are intentionally prepared to communicate that your worth is unchanging, unshakable, and rooted in grace.  Cultivate is a place you can see old friends, meet new acquaintances, and receive truth and encouragement for whatever stage, season, or struggle you might be facing.

This time of year is certainly filled with all the brightness and sparkle of this festive season. But we know all to well that light is accompanied by darkness. We feel this throughout the year but most especially at Christmas. How do we find joy in the midst of the hard?

What if sitting with, allowing, and even naming what is difficult could help you feel more connected, and even more joy? The great paradox is that in naming what hurts and what isn’t “going right” we notice and experience everything more - both the pain and the joy, the good and the bad, the heartbreak and the wholeness. When we turn towards the pain, we turn towards ourselves and each other, experiencing more connection. What if trying to make everything just right during the holidays is more about how we think that will make us feel? In giving ourselves the permission to name every difficult thing we are carrying and feeling, we open ourselves up to feel more connected and the presence we really crave.

We are thrilled and honored to welcome therapist, podcast host, and author Monica DiCristina to this Gathering where she will unpacking and discussing all of these questions as she helps us name the hard in our lives so we experience the goodness and connection available to us.. Monica is the author of Your Pain Has a Name: A Therapist’s Invitation to Understanding Your Story and Sorting Out Who You Are From What Hurts and we will be giving away copies of her phenomenal book at the Gathering.

Our Gatherings are open to women of all ages and life stages so invite a friend or two
and let us fill our hearts with joy in the everyday, courage to face the hard,
and freedom to live the lives we were created to live.

This is going to be a special night and we can’t wait to share it with you!
