The Heartbeat of Our Organization
TIME FOR FEMININITY

A time to celebrate being feminine
​
-
Life can be demanding, work, children, husbands, hobbies, managing a home, time for you, and all the many other things that can come up. Sometimes it gets all too easy to be in clothing that just does not speak to who you are or your femininity; but it was clean and appropriate for the occasion so that is what you put on.
​
-
It is safe here. We recognize that traumatic experiences can leave you feeling vulnerable and, in that process, one might try to make themselves unnoticeable in big clothes, understated colors, and covered in as many layers as the weather will let you tolerate. Here it is safe to express yourself in that dress, in those heels and in that fabric. Give yourself a chance to walk out in and explore that other side of you.

Foundations
PERSONAL GROWTH
We are committed to your personal growth and development
​
-
We believe in growing you wither it is in your confidence, your perspective, or your character we believe is supporting your growth through the services we deliver.
​
-
Money, diamonds, houses, clothes, and cars are great; but at the end of the day things will not make you feel better or be better in your sole. The only thing that really helps you be better and feel better is growing who you are as a person.
-
We do this through engaging speakers that speak to topics that improve your mental health, character, and mindset
-
Shearing our stories and perspectives in the Gowns and Gardens community
-
Creating spaces and engagements that give you the freedom to relax and explore who you are with others.

COMMUNITY
We are better together!
​
-
Learning does not happen in a bubble so why not make some new friends?! Encouraging others and be encouraged by others at our events.
-
No matter your age, career, or your back ground we are sure that you can connect with someone here.

BALANCE
Balance is good
​
-
We appreciate some of the finer things in life; but here at Gowns and Gardens we know that a little grit never hurts. We are all about balance and weather you are the shabby chic type, ultra glam, or a little rough around the edges but want to explore your softer side in a safe environment we are the place for you.

She chose to explore the event industry and was able to work on teams for events such as Coachella Music Festival, Adobe Max, TED Conference, Dreamforce, and Guess fashion engagements.

It is a chance for Women to explore and express who they are in a glamorous way, while still being nurtured by nature, and the company of friends new and old.
