What we’re about
At @wherewomenbe, we honor the timeless tradition of women coming together—cultivating deep bonds, sharing wisdom, and holding space for one another with care and grace.
(Organizer: Lydia Chong)
Our Story
Imagine the women in your community coming together seated by the kitchen workbench, fiddling over fresh ingredients in preparation for a lavish meal of a prosperous event. Soak in the aroma of slow-cooked rendang entwining with the rambunctious banter that's filling the air. Observe as you and your community of women bond over shared stories of your lives, laugh without reservation at old times, or maybe even sob over remorseful woes whilst having a shoulder to cry on.
In this light, Women have been communing together in shared spaces for the longest time. As ancestral social creatures and caretakers of this land, women have been building our social ties and strengthening our community together with our gifts in cultivating connection, nurturing emotional support, and offering our divine presence for one another to be seen, heard, and consequently, adored.
Here @wherewomenbe, we aspire to foster connection and vulnerability in a wholesome, safe space where women feel comfortable to express themselves, to support one another, and to generously fill our cups with inspiration, wisdom, and harmony. This practice then grounds us gracefully in our journey we call womanhood.
