Rise & Thrive 2027 is more than an event, it’s a day created for women to reconnect with themselves, celebrate how far they’ve come, and feel inspired about where they’re going next.
Every woman arrives with a story shaped by experiences, challenges, relationships, successes, setbacks, and seasons of change. Those experiences have helped shape the woman you are today. Rise & Thrive is an opportunity to honor that woman, while giving yourself permission to keep growing, changing, and becoming.
Too often, women are their own toughest critics. We compare ourselves to others, replay the past, question our choices, and sometimes allow old beliefs or assumptions to influence what we believe is possible for our future. But our past doesn’t have to limit us. We can learn from it, recognize the strength it created within us, and choose what we want to carry forward.
Through inspiring speakers, interactive classes, practical tools, and meaningful connection, Rise & Thrive explores the many dimensions of a woman’s well-being, mind, body, confidence, health, relationships, spirituality, strength, and personal growth.
Most importantly, it creates a space for women to come together. To learn from one another. To encourage one another. To laugh, connect, reflect, and remember that none of us is navigating life alone.
You don’t need to become an entirely different woman to create a different future. Sometimes growth begins by recognizing the strength, wisdom, and possibility that are already within you.
Honor who you are. Embrace who you’re becoming.

Hormones in Harmony-Understand Your Body. Restore Your Balance.
Hormones influence so much of how we feel, from energy, sleep, and mood to metabolism and overall well-being. Learn what’s happening as your hormones change, how to better recognize what your body may be telling you, and practical ways to support greater balance through every stage of womanhood.
Nourish the Woman your Becoming-Nutrition for Energy, Strength & Long-Term Health
With so much information about weight loss, diets, medications, supplements, and wellness trends, it can be difficult to know what your body actually needs. This class brings nutrition back to the foundation—learning how intentional food choices and food pairing can support metabolism, balanced energy and blood sugar, muscle and bone strength, and healthy aging. Discover practical, sustainable ways to nourish your body that work with your individual needs and support the woman you are today and the woman you’re becoming.

Honor where you are and create space for where you’re going.

Return to Center- Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation for Inner Balance
Slow down, reconnect, and come home to yourself through gentle movement, conscious breath, and intentional stillness. Rooted in the belief that there is an inherent goodness and wisdom within each of us, this nurturing experience combines accessible Hatha Yoga and healing breathwork to release tension, quiet the mind, and deepen your connection to yourself. Come as you are and create space to rediscover the strength, wisdom, and wholeness that already live within you.
Lead From Where You Are- Trust Yourself. Own Your Strengths. Take the Next Step.
You don’t have to feel completely ready or have everything figured out to lead your life with confidence and intention. Discover how self-leadership begins with trusting your voice, recognizing your strengths, setting boundaries, navigating challenges, and having the courage to take the next step. Honor the experiences that have shaped you, embrace the strengths already within you, and recognize that you are capable of making an impact—right where you are.
Vitality for Life-Supporting the Body You’re Becoming
