    It’s time to elevate the experience—literally! This afternoon is designed for connection and inspiration: get dressed up, indulge in small bites, sip on crafted libations, and engage in a transformative fireside chat on sisterhood, empowerment, and self-care. This isn’t just a mixer—it’s a moment of laughter, learning, and sisterhood at its finest. A professional photographer will guide both group and individual shots as you channel your inner diva!

Book My Room

Each year during Self-Care Weekend, we take time to recognize women whose impact deserves to be celebrated. The Woman of Impact recognition honors women who are making a meaningful difference through the way they lead, serve, support, inspire, and show up for others. Impact can look different for every woman. It may be felt in her family, workplace, organization, community, or simply in the lives of those around her. We invite you to nominate a woman whose presence, commitment, and influence are making a difference worth recognizing. And yes, self-nominations are welcome. Sometimes we have to be willing to recognize the impact we’re making, too. Selected Women of Impact will be recognized during Self-Care Weekend 2026. Nominations are closed.
