Women's Storytelling Wine and Connection

Women's Storytelling - Wine and Connection

Come play with us! Enjoy an evening of wine, small bites, and meaningful connection. Our events are designed to lift, inspire and amplify. So, we'll feature two story tellers, a non profit doing good work you may be inspired by and want to help, a venue that we want to introduce you two and/or a vintner we want to introduce you to.

Connecting, empowering, and healing women through story. An evening featuring a women's twists and turns through life shared from the heart. Plus plenty of giggles and laughs to round it all out.

A few comments from recent attendees:

"The conversation were so enriching, and created a safe space for trust, connection and building a community. This was amazing!"

"Wow, I have never felt the way I did."

"Real connection, real stories with real meaning."

"Loved the open discussion. The vulnerability that shared from hosts to audience members as well as storytellers."

Humans are wired for stories. Stories hold the power to convey profound meaning, bridging connections among those who hear them. In sharing our stories—of overcoming struggles, achieving wild dreams, enduring heartbreak, and honoring lost loved ones—we tap into the full breadth of the human experience, the depths of our emotions, and the resilience of our spirits.

Join us for an evening dedicated to the power of storytelling and uniting hearts. We’ll begin with an inspiring story from the Passionately Striving in “Why” anthology (curated by co-host Alise), followed by two remarkable women sharing the moments that color their lives.

This event is an invitation to connect, heal, and elevate one another through the strength of shared experiences. You’ll engage deeply with the storytellers and fellow attendees, leaving with a renewed heart and the power of genuine connection.

Our storytellers:

Our non profit focus: Tatweer Baladna is a Lebanese non-profit organization and an extension to Education Unbound, an international NGO headquartered in the US, founded by Lebanese successful entrepreneurs who are passionate about giving back to the community and nurture the huge potential of great minds. You will hear about their project using art to help emotionally settle and stabilize war-torn children.
