About the event
“Bloom Hours” presented by With Joy
With Joy invites you to the very first Bloom Hours, a free monthly gathering where women come together to slow down, share space, and reconnect with what brings them joy. No pressure, no performance, just an open-hearted space to come as you are.
Are you building a life in a new place? Adjusting to life as a new mom? Healing from past wounds or moving through a life shift? Longing to reconnect with yourself and dream about what’s next? Hoping to find a community where you feel seen, supported, and inspired?
Sometimes we just need a space to breathe, to laugh, to be reminded that we’re not alone. Bloom Hours was created for those moments, for the women who are new to this place, new to this work, or simply longing to feel connected again. There’s no pressure here to be anything other than yourself. We might share stories, move our bodies, make something with our hands, or just sit together in warm company. Each month is a little different, but the heart of it is the same: joy, presence, and community.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just show up as you are. Let’s gather, share, and grow, once a month, to remind ourselves that joy is allowed and healing begins here.
Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.
