About this Event
The Release: A Women’s Empowerment Experience
Join us in person for The Release: A Women’s Empowerment Experience | Release. Renew. Rise. — a faith-filled gathering created for women to connect, reflect, and step forward with intention.
There are seasons when God calls us to let go of what no longer serves us so we can make room for what He has next. Whether you are navigating change, entering a new season, rebuilding, pursuing a dream, or simply recognizing that it is time for something different, The Release is a space for you.
Through meaningful conversations, an engaging panel discussion, uplifting music, reflection, networking, and sisterhood, we will explore what it means to:
RELEASE what is no longer meant to go with us.
RENEW our faith, perspective, purpose, and vision.
RISE with greater clarity and courage into what God has for us next.
Come as you are. Connect with amazing women. Be encouraged, inspired, and empowered to take your next step.
Open to ALL women.
And the Celebration Continues! 🎉
The Release ends at 1:00 PM, but you don’t have to leave!
Immediately following the event, you're invited to stay till 2:00 PM for a special “See You Later” Celebration for Dr. Carlotta Roman as she prepares to transition from the Chicagoland area to Dallas, Texas.
After more than 35 years of calling Lake County home, Dr. Carlotta is stepping into a new chapter—and she would love to spend this time celebrating, laughing, sharing memories, and connecting with the women and community who have been part of the journey.
This isn't goodbye. It's “See you later!” ❤️
Faith to AIM is continuing, the gatherings are continuing, and there is more to come. So stay after The Release and help us celebrate the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another.
