Cultivate 2023 - “A day to reflect on the year behind you and get excited for what’s to come!”
The third annual Rooted For Women’s Cultivate Conference boasts a day full of insightful topics, notable speakers from all different backgrounds and expertise, meaningful connections, intentional planning, and most of all a supportive environment where you are free to express who you are and gain the support you not only crave, but deserve. The day starts with some breakfast bites provided by Certified Master Chef, Alfonso Contriciani’s Organic Oliver Farms Ohio catering team, a sponsored mimosa and cocktail bar, smoothies by Forager Project, and music and sound provided by DJ Dayna and Bloom Audio.
Now that your morning is off to a budding start, we will drift into our morning welcome by letting go of whatever might be stressing us out and discover “ To be or not to be : Who are you?” With guest certified speaking professional and key note speaker, Lillian Zarzar.
You are probably feeling much lighter and inspired and ready to go into your first of 2 breakout sessions! Here you get to choose from 3 different Breakout Workshops:
Burn Out be gone! Calm the chaos with tools and exercises to overcome any obstacle. Hosted by Lindsay Dorka.
Confidence for All! How to navigate the overwhelming World of networking and friendship building. Hosted by Holly Haynes.
Organized in 2024- Tools and planning to start the year strong and keep going. Hosted by Diane Boden.
Walk out of your first breakout session ready to choose your destiny and decide what you are going to do for the rest of your life! Just Kidding :) Though you might be ready to tackle some things on your list! You will grab some lunch catered by Cameron Mitchell, find a new friend at your table with Rooted For Women’s own Curated Connection Cards for easy networking, and then run to check out the Market Mingle made up of some of the best female owned businesses!
You and your new friend have now talked about all the different fads you have gone through, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and purchased some last minute holiday gifts for…. Yourself and are heading into the main room for a bit of a calm down with a guided meditation, where you will try your best to not fall asleep as you allow yourself to ease into a clear headspace and feel calm overcome you.
Now that you are fed, happy and calm… we introduce the phenomenal women’s panel hosted by TV personality, cookbook author and Mother of 5, Shanisty Ireland. The women’s panel is made up of women from all different backgrounds, different seasons of life and different experiences. Listen and interact as they answer questions from their favorite food all the way too, "tell us about a time you encountered a situation where you didn’t agree with someone and how you handled it"… you’ll laugh, you’ll nod to agree, and you may cry… but you will definitely be filled.
When the panel ends, you will jump into the last of your two chosen breakouts to fill your cup a little bit more and then come back to the main room for closing. Heck we might just have a little dance party? Yes. We will dance our happy butts out the door and be thankful we took a few hours out of our day to feed our souls, learn some new things, make some long lasting connections, and maybe even solve World Peace. When one woman supports another, beautiful things happen.
