Finally, a few hours that are entirely yours

The Gather Club is a membership for women who are done waiting for connection to happen on its own — beautifully curated weekend gatherings built around hands-on making, genuine conversation, and the kind of rest that actually fills you back up.

I built the space I was desperately looking for — and I haven't stopped being amazed by what happens when women get a few unhurried hours and something beautiful to make.

Who it's for

Is this you?

The Overdue Recharger

She gives everything to work and family and is finally ready to carve out a few hours that belong entirely to her — without justifying it to anyone.

The New-in-Town Woman

She relocated for a job or a relationship and is quietly craving a local community of women who have nothing to do with either.

The Creative Who Lapsed

She used to paint, make, or craft and somewhere along the way stopped — and misses having something beautiful to do with her hands.

The Social Perfectionist

She loves people but hates organizing plans, so a beautifully curated, show-up-and-enjoy gathering feels like an absolute gift.

The Friendship-Hungry Introvert

Bars and big parties feel exhausting, but a small group with a shared activity and real conversation? That's exactly her kind of social.

The Milestone Marker

She's in a season of transition — a new decade, an empty nest, a fresh chapter — and wants to invest in herself in a way that actually feels good.

Dora Edney

If you've landed here, I have a feeling I know where you are right now.

You're not burned out in a dramatic way — it's more of a slow simmer. You're good at taking care of everyone else, good at showing up, good at keeping things moving. But somewhere along the way, the things that were supposed to be for you — the catch-ups with friends, the creative outlets, the evenings that felt like a breath in — started getting quietly cancelled. Not out of laziness. Just out of life.

I started The Gather Club because I was looking for the same thing you are: a place that felt elevated and intentional, not another obligation dressed up as fun. I wanted to make things with my hands. I wanted to talk to women who weren't my colleagues or my family — women who had lives that looked nothing like mine but felt, underneath, exactly the same. I wanted to leave somewhere feeling lighter than when I walked in. I couldn't find that place, so I built it.

What we've created here isn't a class, exactly. It's more like a standing invitation. Each gathering is anchored in a hands-on experience — pottery, florals, permanent jewelry, sound and stillness — because when your hands are busy, your guard comes down, the conversation opens up, and something genuinely lovely tends to happen. You walk in as strangers and leave as women who understand each other. You walk in carrying the week and leave with a ceramic bowl and a lighter chest. That shift is real, and it happens faster than you'd think.

Inside the membership, I'll walk you through everything: what to expect at your first gathering, how the rotating calendar of experiences works, how to release the guilt around taking a few hours for yourself, and how to turn one lovely afternoon into a personal practice that actually sticks. This isn't about adding something to your to-do list. It's about finally putting yourself back on it.

There's a seat at the table with your name on it. I'd love for you to pull it up.
