This event is open to all women and femme-identifying non-binary folx and will be an opportunity to create a safe and sacred space in which to speak. In our culture, feminine energy can be forced to take a backseat - or be silenced altogether. Let’s lift our voices to share our wisdom and power with one another.
The guest list is Hidden to preserve the privacy of the attendees.
Doors will open at 6:30pm for some mingling and to give folk time to arrive. At 7pm, we’ll have some short announcements, then get to the programming for the evening. The intention here is to create a space to have meaningful conversations. To facilitate that, we will be breaking into smaller groups with facilitators guiding the conversation with conversational prompts and helping to create a safe environment to share and be heard. Prompts can be selected from “Ice Breaker” questions to deeper, more personal questions - depending on the participant’s level of comfort. Additionally, there will be outdoor seating for those who want to attend the event but are not comfortable in the more structured conversational setting. Conversational prompts will be pulled from “Let’s Get Deep (Friends Edition)” & “We’re Not Really Strangers.”
It is expected that everyone attending will show up as authentically as they are comfortable and commit to holding the confidence of anything discussed. Our goal is for this to be an opportunity to have fun and build connections. As such, by attending, you agree to:
1. Use “I” statements to share personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Speak from your personal experiences and not the experiences of others. We do not share stories that are not ours to tell.
2. Keep the confidence of what is shared at the event and not disclose information learned here to those not in attendance.
3. Actively listen, remove distractions (step away if you need to be on your phone), and not engage in cross-talk.
4. Respect those who are sharing by not interrupting or cutting tension by distracting with humor.
5. Refrain from giving advice unless specifically asked. This is about telling our stories, not telling others what they “should” be doing (unless they ask for advice).
While this is not an alcohol-focused event, participants are free to BYOB. There will be soda and water provided, along with some light snacks. If you have a favorite snack, you're welcome to bring enough to share.
