Casita Prado’s International Women’s Day gathering is a free, community-centered event created to support women who carry responsibility: especially caregivers, mothers, and those balancing family, work, and community, while remaining open and welcoming to all aligned.
This gathering is intentionally designed as a space to slow down, reconnect, and be supported. Through guided wellness offerings, shared meals, movement, conversation, and access to community resources and vendors, atendees are invited to tend to themselves in ways that are often postponed or overlooked.
The day will include opportunities for grounding and rest, practical tools for personal wellbeing and safety, moments of reflection, and time to connect with local organizations and fellow attendees. Programming is paced with care, allowing participants to engage at their own comfort level.
Hosted at Villa Arco, this event reflects Casita Prado’s commitment to collective care, intergenerational wellbeing, and strengthening the communities that support children and families.
