The Empowerment Party: Rooted & Rising

The Empowerment Party: Three Years of Connection, Growth & Community
Friday, September 18 | 5:00–7:30 PM
Swartswood State Park
Three years ago, the very first Empowerment Party began right here at Swartswood State Park.
So for our three-year anniversary, we’re going back to where it all began.
Join us for an evening outside celebrating connection, growth, community, and the incredible things that can happen when we give ourselves permission to show up exactly as we are.
Whether you’ve been part of an Empowerment Party before or this will be your first one, you’re invited.
And this one is completely FREE.
There is no ticket price to attend, but please RSVP so I can prepare for everyone joining us.
Optional: Elevate Your Brand with a New Headshot
Rooted Oak will also be joining us and offering professional headshots in the beautiful natural setting of Swartswood State Park.
If you’ve been putting off updating your headshot—or you’re ready for a photo that better reflects the person and business you’ve grown into—you can have a new professional headshot taken for just $40.
Headshots are completely optional and can be added when you RSVP.
💛 GIVING BACK AT THE EMPOWERMENT PARTY 💛
This year, I want our celebration to extend beyond the room.
We’ll be collecting shampoo & conditioner for Benny’s Bodega, an organization very dear to my heart that supports local families who sometimes just need “a little” to bridge the gap.
If you’re joining us, please consider bringing a bottle of shampoo, conditioner—or both—to donate.
Because empowerment is also about community. It’s about showing up for one another and remembering that sometimes, something small to us can make a really big difference to someone else.
Completely optional. Always appreciated. 💛
As always, there will be an opportunity for us to connect, reflect, and leave feeling a little more empowered than when we arrived.
Come as you are. Bring a friend. Meet someone new.
Let’s celebrate three years of showing up, growing together, and reminding one another just how powerful community can be.
