Rise & Thrive 2026 is more than an event — it’s a transformational experience designed exclusively for women who are ready to embrace new energy, new connections, and new possibilities.

Because when you feel radiant, you shine in every area of life.

Let go of the weight you’ve been carrying. Through sound and energy practices, you’ll learn how to raise your vibration, expand your positive energy, and connect with the healing power already within you. Shift your mindset, release fear, and open yourself to growth and possibility.
