Elevate the Ordinary
For the last 11 years, our annual Becoming weekend has been honored to create a fun, welcoming and encouraging space for thousands of women from all backgrounds and seasons of life. Typically hosted in the mountains of Asheville, NC, we are shifting gears to meet the unique gathering situation created by Covid 19. Founder and host, Jen Schmidt is offering a smaller Becoming “local” this November 13 and 14 in Greensboro, NC.
For all of us, spending time at home in 2020 means something very different than it did one year ago and it’s about time that we kick the past eight months to the curb and finish strong. (If you’re understandably limping along, this is exactly where you’re meant to be.)
We are going to start off our Friday evening with this year’s keynote speaker – the unbelievable Kelly Swanson. We are guaranteed to laugh more this weekend than we have all year as she challenges us to ask, “Who Highjacked our Fairytale?” Kelly is a world renown speaker, keynoting for such organizations as Toastmaster International, but Covid had other plans. Our fairytale weekend is made possible because she can join us and we are pairing the evening with a charcuterie workshop. Honestly, this alone is worth the whole weekend cost.
With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to equip and inspire you in meaningful ways to create a welcoming home, one that you’ve dreamed of regardless of your budget. We offer the tools to elevate the ordinary of your home to one that speaks love and life no matter your personality, background or skill set.
Through grace-filled inspiration, let’s become the women God has called us to be wherever He has us planted for this season, and leave our time together refreshed and encouraged in all things heart and home.
***We understand the real safety concern with Covid, therefore we are only allowing a small number of limited this year to allow for social distancing measures to be in place. We have rented a large facility that allows for plenty of space for those in need and safety protocols are in place.
We will have designated seating sections where masks are required to meet the needs of all attendees. For workshops, there will minimal number of people in each room/at each round table, to allow plenty of room to social distance at all times.
