The HeArt of Letting Go: A Fall Women’s Gathering
Fabrik DUMBO, 20 Jay St Suite 218, Brooklyn, NY 11201, NYC, NY, USAs summer gives way to fall, there’s something powerful about creating space to pause, take stock, and decide what you want to carry into the season ahead.
Advance Purchase Required here
Join Women of Culture and Human Hearts Collective for an intimate evening designed to help you step away from the noise of everyday life, reconnect with yourself, and move into fall feeling lighter, clearer, and more intentional.
Inspired by the changing season, we’ll explore themes of release, renewal, and possibility through grounding practices, guided reflection, creative ritual, and meaningful conversation.
Just as importantly, this evening is about the power of being in community with other women — sharing space, listening to one another, and creating the kind of connection that can be hard to find in the rush of everyday life.
It’s an invitation to exhale after the pace of summer, make space for what matters, and enter the new season feeling both more centered in yourself and more connected to the women around you.
Why you’ll want to join us:
- Create space for yourself before the rush of fall begins
- Reflect on what you’re ready to leave behind—and what you want to invite in
- Experience thoughtful rituals designed to inspire clarity and renewal
- Connect more deeply with yourself and an inspiring community of women
In the spirit of gathering and sharing, we invite everyone to bring a small snack or non-alcoholic drink to share with 3–4 people. Homemade or store-bought are equally welcome.

Settepani Restaurant, 196 Malcolm X Blvd, New York, NY 10026, USA, New York, NY, USJoin Women of Culture for a special Art-full Discovery Walk through the Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour (HOAST), offering a rare opportunity to step inside the studios, homes, and creative spaces of artists throughout Harlem.

Along the way, Deborah will introduce us to artists, their work, and the ideas and stories shaping their creative practices.
Together, we’ll experience the energy, diversity, and distinctly personal character of Harlem’s contemporary art scene—meeting artists where they work, discovering spaces we might never encounter otherwise, and gaining a more intimate perspective on how art takes shape.
It’s an afternoon of art, access, conversation, and discovery, designed for anyone curious to go beyond the gallery walls and experience Harlem’s creative community from the inside.
Those joining the Full Experience will begin over brunch at Settepani in Harlem, with time to connect with fellow art lovers before heading out on our studio adventure.
Why you’ll love this:- 🎨 Step inside working artist studios and explore spaces normally closed to the public.
- 🖌️ Meet Harlem artists and hear directly from them about their work, inspirations, and creative process.
- ✨ Enjoy a thoughtfully curated route that takes the guesswork out of navigating Open Studios and highlights some of the afternoon’s most interesting stops.
