Organized by women, for women who understand that healthy relationships with others help us in our own faith life journeys! This group is meant for you to be a safe, supportive, “come as you are” space for women to support each other through faith, positivity, & relationship, or simply a place to enjoy a cup of coffee or protein shake after your workout. While we will have a general topic to spark conversation at each meeting, this is meant to be a “meet-up with friends” in a casual and comfortable setting. ALL ARE WELCOME! |
