Fairhope, Alabama | September 22-25, 2022
We journeyed to Fairhope - voted one of the Best Southern Cities by Southern Living - for our third Getaway!
With sessions that nurtured our personal and creative souls, The Getaway offered a one-of-a-kind opportunity to rest & rejuvenate while cultivating friendships with other women from across the country. We gathered together to hear movers and shakers from all over the South, and made this a fabulous event we will talk about for years to come.
Limited to just 40 attendees, The Getaway offers an intimate, fun, and creative experience with inspirational guest speakers, culinary experiences, and plenty of time to connect and relax on the sugar sands of the Bay. Our Guests enjoyed lux dinner parties, beach bon fires and tons of exclusive swag. Be sure to Join us in 2023!
