Sanctuary & Sisterhood

• You’re tired of only seeing people in rushed, surface-level ways

• You want real, grounded community — not performance, comparison, or “mean girl” energy

• You crave a place where you can show up messy, tired, tender, or joyful… and still be welcomed

• You’re longing for women-centered connection that doesn’t require you to have it all figured out

• You want somewhere to go at least once a month where your nervous system can actually soften

You do not have to be “spiritual enough,” “healed enough,” or “put-together enough” to belong here. If you’re human and craving connection, you’re welcome.

The flow is simple and intentionally light:

1. Arrive & Land
   You’re welcomed in, shown where to put your dish, and invited to settle. No awkward icebreakers — just a gentle hello and space to arrive.

2. Potluck Supper
   We share food by candlelight. Everyone brings something if they can (simple is perfect). We pass plates, refill drinks, and let conversation unfold naturally.

3. Soft Conversation & Connection
   We talk about life, joy, grief, daily wins, hard things, silly things. You can share, listen, laugh, or simply sit in the warmth of being with others.

4. Gentle Closing
   Before we part ways, we’ll do a short check-out or moment of gratitude so your body registers: I was here. I was with people. I wasn’t alone.

You leave with a fuller belly, a softer nervous system, and the reminder that you are part of something.

Investment – Sliding Scale

Sanctuary & Sisterhood runs on a sliding scale with three tiers:

• Backer – for women with more financial ease who want to help sustain the space

• Supporter – for women who can comfortably pay a fair rate that keeps things going

• Community – for women who are more stretched or navigating financial strain

You’ll see the full details and current amounts at checkout. You choose the tier that feels honest for you right now. No proof, no justification, no shame.

Wayfinders members: Sanctuary & Sisterhood is already included in your membership. You’ll get a separate email or link with details — no additional payment needed.

Because:

• Community and rest shouldn’t only be accessible to the most resourced

• This space takes time, energy, and real-world costs to hold well

• Women’s financial realities are different — one flat rate can’t honor that

Sliding scale lets each woman practice self-honesty and self-devotion:

• Paying at a higher tier when you can helps keep the doors open for others

• Choosing a lower tier when you need it is an act of care, not “taking advantage”

You’re trusted to know what’s right for you in this season.

This gathering exists because so many of us were taught to:

• Hold it together alone

• Only show up when we’re “doing well”

• Earn belonging by being useful, pleasant, or impressive

Sanctuary & Sisterhood quietly refuses that.

Here, you don’t have to earn your seat at the table.
You bring a dish if you can, your presence if you’re able, and that is enough.

Come sit at the table.
Come as you are, not as you think you should be.
Leave knowing you are held by more than just your own two hands.
