This is a space that is intentional, loving, and supportive. Our summit begins promptly at 8:00 AM with our continental breakfast. Our delicious lunch provided by Pinch + Stone Catering will be served at noon, and we will end on time at 5:00 PM. What can you expect for the day? You can expect 100% sisterly LOVE and support!!
