The Bloom Sis Gathering
It's Your Time To BLOOM SIS!
Flourish, heal & Connect
Bloom Sis Connect is a community where women can flourish, build meaningful connections, and embrace healing in every area of life. Rooted in faith, we believe true growth happens when we nurture our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being in alignment with our purpose.
Our core values and pillars reflect this commitment. Emotional Wholeness is supported by mindfulness, encouraging women to be present and intentional in their thoughts and actions. Community & Connection highlights the power of relationships and the importance of growing alongside others. Spiritual Care nurtures a deeper connection with God, guiding women to find strength, clarity, and peace in their faith. Bridging Generational Gaps fosters mentorship, learning, and collaboration across different life stages, while Self-Love & Acceptance reminds us to embrace our God-given worth and extend grace to ourselves and others.
We also emphasize Body Care, recognizing that honouring and caring for our bodies is an act of stewardship. Through these values, Bloom Sis Connect provides a faith-centered space where women can grow holistically, cultivate purpose-driven lives, and walk confidently in their journey of healing and transformation.
The Bloom Sis Gathering
The story of The Bloom Sis Gathering, formerly known as My Sister’s Keeper, started humbly in 2018 with just twelve women gathered in one room, engaging in open dialogue and addressing topics related to Soul Care. As the event grew, it evolved into the “Soul Care Retreat,” embodying our core mission of meeting women where they are holistically. Finally, in 2022, we rebranded as Bloom. Bloom provides a holistic and vulnerable space where Black women come together connect with other like minded women, discovering a safe environment to be nurtured and empowered with the tools they need to thrive.
Hearts Touched &
Lives Changed
The Bloom Sis Gathering is a sacred space where women encounter God, experience deep healing, and find community.
One 2024 attendee shared: “I didn’t expect the deep transformation that took place, but I welcomed it. I left feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and deeply connected—to God and to the Bloom family.”
Many arrive with hesitation, especially those who’ve felt unseen in women’s spaces. But from the moment they walk in, they’re met with love, safety, and belonging
“every person on the BLOOM team made me feel wanted and seen. God began to heal wounds I didn’t even realize I was carrying.”
Throughout the weekend, women reflect on powerful truths—like obedience as full surrender, the restoration of families, the connection between purpose and commitment, and the importance of sharpening their spiritual discernment.
Whether it’s your first time or your fourth, Bloom is a space to pause, be poured into, and truly bloom.

Exhale, and Breathe Sis!
Join us on August 08th - 10th
BLOOM 2025 is a sacred space for women to exhale, breathe, release, and be poured into. The theme, Exhale, aligns with our ongoing journey of surrender—an invitation to let go and allow God to take the lead.
Many of us have been running, carrying burdens, and holding our breath, trying to manage it all. But now, it’s time to pause. It’s time to surrender—your will, your mind, your body, your time, your finances, your relationships, your pain, and your hurts.
This year’s BLOOM Sis Gathering is a moment to step into divine rest, release what’s been weighing you down, and embrace the peace that comes with full surrender. Exhale and breathe, sis—this is your time.

This Year’s Exclusive
BLOOM Features
BLOOM Features
This year, we’re excited to introduce two special additions that make the BLOOM Sis Gathering even more meaningful and multi-generational. Our BLOOM Girl Session is a dedicated space for young women ages 18–21 as they navigate this unique stage of life. This session is designed to pour into the next generation with intentional conversations, mentorship moments, and tools to help them bloom with confidence, faith, and purpose.
We’re also thrilled to host our BLOOM Sis Tea Party and Brunch, a beautifully curated experience that blends elegance, sisterhood, and joy. This feature offers a chance to slow down, connect over conversation and laughter, and celebrate the beauty of community in style. These additions reflect our continued commitment to nurturing every stage of womanhood with love, wisdom, and soul care.

Partner With Bloom
BLOOM isn’t just about breaking generational cycles, it’s about cultivating intergenerational healing. As Black women, we’ve been taught to carry it all, often without space to rest, reflect, or heal. BLOOM exists to change that. It’s a sacred space to exhale, reconnect with God and self, and be poured into through community, soul care, and mentorship.
When you partner with BLOOM, you’re sowing into:
- Healing that reaches generations past, present, and future
- Access to transformative workshops like art therapy, therapeutic writing, and Bloom Girl (ages 18–21)
- Therapy support and scholarship opportunities for women to attend who might not otherwise be able to
Your support helps us create space for more women to breathe, heal, and Bloom.
