PERMISSION TO BECOME - From self-doubt to self-trust—one layer at a time

About this event

Join Lianne and Lu for an intimate evening of real conversation, shared reflection, and creative expression. This experience is for women who has felt held back by the fear of failure or rejection, caught in comparison or perfectionism, or unsure whether they are truly enough. In a warm, conversational setting, we will explore the stories and judgments we carry. We will explore the ones that no longer belong to us. Together, we will talk about self-worth, imposter syndrome, and the courage to take action *before* confidence arrives. Through guided conversation, art and opportunities to connect with one another, you will be invited to reflect on what you are prepared to release and what becomes possible when you stop waiting for permission to begin. Then, you will bring that reflection to the canvas. Through a meaningful painting experience, you will create the layers of your own story: honoring where you have been, embracing every part of who you are, and making space for who you are becoming. Your finished painting will be more than artwork—it will become a personal, visual reminder of your growth, your wholeness, and the version of yourself you are choosing to step into. There is nothing to fix and no perfect outcome; this is simply an invitation to meet yourself with compassion and to see the beauty in every layer. Come as you are, share what feels right, and leave with a tangible reminder that growth is possible—and that you are already worthy of taking your next step. Wednesday\, September 17 \| 6:30–8:30 p\.m\. Wine and Design \| Matthews\, NC Mocktails and a special gift provided and leave with your beautiful artwork. Early bird $57 (through 9/7), regular registration $63.
