About this Event
Beneath the Surface: An Evening of Connection, Courage & Community
Join us for an an immersive evening that blends personal growth, wellness, and authentic human connection in a way that is both inspiring and deeply restorative.
Hosted by The Ripple Effect and Choose Yourself, this experience is designed to create space for meaningful conversations and genuine connection—with yourself and with others. Through inspiring workshops, guided reflection, connection circles, and contrast therapy, you'll leave feeling encouraged, connected, and reminded that you don't have to carry it alone.
We believe growth happens in community and healing begins with honest conversations. That’s why we wanted to create a welcoming space for you to go beneath the surface - with yourself and with others. Because when we learn to embrace our stories, build a strong foundation, and show up authentically, not only do we create a life of purpose, but we inspire others to do the same.
