A LITTLE ABOUT US
In early 2023, the four of us came together, sort of by chance, to attend an event in Toronto. We knew each other from networking circles, but for the most part we weren't especially close - more like acquaintances. After spending 24 hours together, we quickly developed a deep bond, and soon after decided we wanted to join forces to create opportunities to bring women in our community together in the form of events.
Events that open them up to see what is possible when they put themselves in rooms where the energy is different. Spaces to feel seen, heard, and understood in our shared experiences as women. Rooms where we can be reminded what's possible for us, and inspired to follow that spark inside of us.
That's when the BLOOM Experience was born.
Our first BLOOM event occurred on March 23, 2023, a day that brought over 100 women together at the Hacienda Sereda in Kitchener Ontario for this day of transformation. This event inspired the BLOOM Socials, a more intimate experience hosted by us twice a year, in addition to the FLOURISH program - a 10 week journey to lead women to holistic wellness and personal growth in a group environment.
