Theme: "I'm Her" – It's time to emerge in Fire and Glory.
This is more than an event—it's an encounter. Your next season begins here. Register today and prepare to emerge in fire, glory, and purpose!
For the woman who has carried so much for so long—it's time to be poured into. Realign. Reposition. Reset. Rise. Let's elevate with purpose.
The past two years have been heavy, it's been weighty. So many women have been surviving but not flowing like we know we could.
The Heart of A Woman RISE Conference was created for the woman who is ready to grow in confidence, embrace her total being, and come home to herself in a deeper way. This experience is about helping & supporting women recognize the fullness of who they are — gifted, talented, intelligent, beautiful from the inside out, and created with purpose, vision, strength, and influence.
We believe that when women are nurtured, they nurture the world. When a woman is poured into, strengthened, and reminded of her worth, she does not rise alone — she carries healing, wisdom, creativity, and possibility back into her family, her business, her community, and every room she enters.
This is for the woman who has spent years pouring into everyone else and now needs a space where she can be poured into with intention. It is for the woman who has had to hold her head up after being denied, overlooked, misunderstood, judged, betrayed, dismissed, or pushed aside — yet still carries dignity, purpose, and a desire to keep going.
Heart of A Woman is more than a conference name; it is a calling to create a safe, viable, and life-giving community where women can be seen, heard, strengthened, and supported. It is a place for the woman who is looking for people who will hold up her arms so she can finish her race with grace, strength, clarity, and dignity.
This is where confidence is restored. This is where wholeness is honored. This is where strength is renewed. This is where community holds you up. This is where women rise.
Why You Don’t Want to Miss This
Because this is more than another conference. This is a gathering for women who are ready to stop carrying everything alone. It is a space for transformation, elevation, empathy, collaboration, community, and strength — a space where women can come as they are, gain what they need, and leave with the clarity, courage, and strategy to move forward.
If you have ever said, “I should have been there,” this is your moment to say, “I’m not missing this one.”

A powerful two-day transformative leadership experience where men build authentic connections, break unhealthy cycles, and lead with purpose
The Men's Shadow Breaking Summit - Breaking the Cycle Designed to Break Men.
September 24th (3pm-8pm)
September 25th (9am - 5pm)
Why the Men's Shadow Breaking Summit
Every man carries a story.
Some stories build strength. Others create silent battles that go unseen.
Too many men have learned to carry the weight of expectations, disappointments, trauma, stress, financial pressure, leadership responsibilities, and emotional pain in silence. Those unseen struggles often become the shadows that influence decisions, relationships, careers, health, and purpose.
The Men's Shadow Breaking Summit was created to change that.
This powerful two-day experience brings together men from diverse backgrounds who are ready to confront what has been holding them back and step into the leader, husband, father, entrepreneur, professional, mentor, and man they were created to become.
Throughout the summit, participants will experience:
Dynamic keynote presentations from respected leaders and change-makers
Authentic conversations that challenge unhealthy cycles and limiting beliefs
Leadership and personal development sessions with practical strategies
Interactive workshops focused on growth, resilience, and accountability
Meaningful networking with men committed to supporting one another
Action-oriented takeaways that can be immediately applied at home, in business, and throughout the community
This summit creates a safe environment where vulnerability is met with strength, transparency leads to transformation, and brotherhood becomes a catalyst for lasting change.
Whether you're navigating leadership challenges, career transitions, family responsibilities, entrepreneurship, or simply seeking greater clarity and purpose, this experience is designed to equip you with practical tools, meaningful connections, and renewed confidence.
Why Now! The world continues to shift - workplaces, families, and communities expect men to communicate clearly, show emotional intelligence, and lead with empathy. Traditional models of masculinity emphasized silence, self-reliance, and performance. Today's leaderhip require presence, clarity, accountability, and emotional awareness.
Emotional intelligence is a leadership requirement, not a bonus
Families expect presence, not just provision
Workplaces demand communication, collaboration, and adaptability
Mental health challenges among men are rising
Younger generations are redefining what strength looks like
This is not just another summit - it's where breakthrough begins! TWO transformational days:
September 24th 3pm - 8pm
September 25th 9:00am - 5pm
Who Should Attend?
Emerging and established leaders
Business owners and entrepreneurs
Corporate professionals
Executives & Managers
Community & Ministry Leaders
Fathers, husbands, mentors, coaches, college students, and young professionals
Any man committed to personal growth and lasting impact
WHY YOU SHOULD REGISTER TODAY
Seats are intentionally limited to create an environment that encourages meaningful conversation, authentic networking, and genuine connection.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT ALONE.
Growth happens in community.
Success leaves clues.
Brotherhood creates momentum.
This summit is your opportunity to connect with men who understand the journey, challenge your thinking, encourage your growth, and remind you that you don't have to carry the weight by yourself.
One conversation can change your direction.
One decision can change your future.
Don't wait until registration closes or tickets sell out.
Invest in yourself.
Invest in your future.
Invest in the men who are counting on you.
Because when a man grows, everyone connected to him benefits.
Join us for an uplifting and faith-filled afternoon designed to bring women together in purpose, connection, and spiritual growth.
