THE PDX WOMEN'S CONVERGENCY
Surviving the current political apocalypse, a retreat for women wanting to scream into the void.
January 17th and 18th, 2026
Do you want to do more to have a fighting chance at repairing the framework of our society? Do you want to gather with like minded women to create a community you can lean on when times get tough? Do you want to create a sacred networking circle of like-minded women-folk? Do you want to make new friends, learn a new skill, or say the things out loud you always wish you could (but maybe that's just not okay to do so at work or home?) Let's gather, breathe, learn, celebrate ourselves, empower each other, get whimsical, and buckle down for one weekend together.
