WHAT AWAITS YOU

An afternoon of creativity, connection, and collective healing.

Brush & Bloom is a heart-led experience created for sisters, by sisters - a space to breathe, reflect, and bloom through art, story, and sisterhood. It’s not about performance or perfection. It’s about expression, release, and rising through struggle.

Whether you come to heal, to connect, or simply to be seen, this event is your invitation to return to yourself - and to your sisters in faith.
