About us
Gather & Gumption: We Are the WOMEN You've Been Looking For.
"Gumption: spirited initiative and resourcefulness."
You aren’t looking for just another surface-level social circle. You’re looking for your people. The ones who show up when things get gritty, the ones who laugh too loudly at a wine bar, and the ones who are ready to explore the hell out of this life.
That’s us. Gather & Gumption is a space built specifically for connection, community, and that little spark of mischievous energy that makes life interesting.
This is a collective for the women who want:
Friendship, but deeper: Forget "networking." We are building true kinship—the kind that supports you through the tough stuff and celebrates the wins.
The Full Spectrum of Chat: Some nights, we need deep, soul-baring conversations over a good bottle of red. Other nights, we just need the "little chats" that make us laugh till it hurts. Both are welcome here.
Drinks, Dining, & Adventure: We will explore the best (and newest) local bars and restaurants, but our "Gumption" means we won’t stop there. Think paint nights, exploring local trails, gallery visits, and learning new skills.
A Real Community: We are creating a supportive hub. This isn't just about showing up to events; it’s about showing up for each other.
This group is for you if:
You are looking to expand your social circle with women who have substance AND sass.
You believe that good company and a good drink (cocktails, wine, or a damn good coffee) are the keys to a happy life.
You aren’t afraid to try something new, explore your city, or have a messy, honest conversation.
We can’t wait to Gather with you. Let’s bring the Gumption.
You will remove men from this group
