    An outfit embodying an archetype you’re embracing in this season (optional but encouraged!) – For our Saturday evening dinner, we’ll gather in a space of celebration, storytelling, and shared transformation. This is your chance to step fully into an aspect of yourself that’s calling to be expressed.

    Think of an archetype that resonates with you right now—The Wild Woman, The Poet, The Mystic, The Lover, The Healer, The Queen, The Warrior, The Seer, etc.—whoever is whispering to you in this season of your life. Your outfit can be as subtle or as bold as you’d like, whether it’s flowing fabrics, earthy tones, dramatic textures, or a single piece that makes you feel like you’re stepping into this energy fully.

    Saturday’s dinner will be a sacred gathering, where we arrive as these embodied archetypes, sharing our experiences, witnessing each other, and weaving our stories into the evening. Come as the version of yourself that’s ready to be seen.
