The Gathering Series: Coffee & Connection at Vibes Cafe 4/24/26
A relaxed morning gathering for women building businesses, ideas, and meaningful work.
This isn’t a traditional networking event.
There’s no agenda, no pitches, and no pressure to meet everyone in the room.
The Gathering Series is simply a space to step away from your usual routine for a bit, meet other thoughtful women in the area, and have real conversations about what you’re building, exploring, or figuring out next.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, small business owner, creative, or simply someone who enjoys connecting with other women doing interesting things, you’re welcome here.
We’ll start with a short round of guided introductions to help people meet a few others in the room, and then the rest of the morning is open for conversation.
Come for the whole time, or pop in for part of it. Space is limited to keep the gathering comfortable and conversational.
