Feeling lonely, craving connection and fun? Join us for Friends Gathering: an intimate evening of food, community, warmth and self care.
About this Event

The holidays can be a lot — the pressure, the quiet moments, and the feeling that everyone else has somewhere to be. So this year, we’re doing things differently

Gather & Glow: A Women’s Winter Connection is your Friendsgiving remix — a cozy evening for women who want warmth, laughter, and genuine connection without the stress or small talk. Think good food, good energy, and a tribe of women who just get it.

This isn’t just dinner — it’s a night that feeds your soul as much as your plate.


What You’ll Experience
Friendsgiving Dinner & Conversation
Enjoy a delicious meal surrounded by women who are ready to laugh, share, and connect. No pressure, no cliques — just community.

Expert Mental Health Panel
A down-to-earth discussion with licensed therapists and mental health professionals offering real talk and strategies for managing loneliness, grief, and emotions through the holidays. You’ll walk away with tools and hope you can actually use.

Candle & Connection Add-On – $20
Upgrade your night with our Candle & Connection Class. Pour your own custom candle, reflect on your intentions for the season, and take home a little light to keep glowing long after the night ends.

Safe, Supportive Sisterhood
Meet new friends, laugh until you cry, and remind yourself that you are not alone. We’re building community, one conversation at a time. Come solo, come curious, come ready to connect — and leave with new friends, new energy, and a full heart
