Some things only happen in a room together.
From time to time I host small, faith-centered gatherings for women: grief workshops, journaling afternoons, and quiet evenings built around the workbooks. They are kept deliberately small, because the work we do in them does not happen at scale, and a woman in the back of a crowd will not say the true thing out loud.
There is nothing on the calendar at the moment. When the next gathering opens, the women on my email list hear about it first, and the rooms are small enough that hearing first matters.
What my gatherings look like
- Small rooms on purpose, usually a dozen women or fewer
- More writing than talking, and nothing you write has to be shared
- Scripture that sits with the hard thing rather than hurrying it along
- Practical tools you take home, often with a workbook included
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.Psalm 147:3
