You could also consider using transit to get to WomanKind!

All WomanKind attendees are invited to our beautiful Friday night reception designed to celebrate unity, connection, and the vibrant diversity within our community. Inspired by a “Mosaic of Community,” this garden-themed gathering reflects how each woman—unique in her stories, gifts, and background—comes together to create something truly meaningful and whole. Thoughtfully prepared refreshments will be provided, with a variety of allergy-sensitive and inclusive food options.

Together, we’re growing something lovely!

There is still time to purchase your tickets for next weekend. Join us April 24 & 25.
