Beyond the titles
An evening to remember the woman underneath everything she carries.
We spend so much of life answering to roles and responsibilities that it can be easy to lose touch with the person underneath them. Beyond the Rose creates room to slow down, laugh, reflect, meet women in different seasons of life, and remember that you are more than what you do for everyone else.
Whether you are in your 20s, 40s, 60s, 70s, or beyond, your story belongs in the room.
What to expect
Meaningful without feeling heavy.
Arrive & connect
Settle in with a light dinner, drinks, music, conversation, and time to meet women across generations.
Reflect beyond the roles
A guided activity will help you name the roles you carry and reconnect with the interests, qualities, hopes, and parts of yourself that exist beyond them.
Share & listen
Guided table conversations create room for laughter, perspective, and genuine connection. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
Carry something home
Complete an “I Am More Than…” keepsake and receive a rose as a reminder that there is always more to you than what the world sees.
Registration · Step 1
Step 1: Choose Your Registration Option.
We never want cost to be the reason a woman feels she cannot join us. Choose the registration level that works best for your circumstances, then complete Step 2 below.
$20 Standard
For guests who are able to pay the full event rate. At checkout, choose quantity 1 for your seat or quantity 2 to add one gifted seat.
$10 Community Rate
A reduced-cost option for guests who would benefit from a lower registration fee. You receive the same full experience.
$0 Community-Supported
A limited number of no-cost spaces for women for whom cost would be a barrier. No explanation or proof is required.
Share the experience
Bring another woman or quietly make room for one.
You may add one gifted seat for $20. Gift it to someone you know, or tell us to use it as a community-supported seat for another woman. At the $20 Stripe checkout, simply choose quantity 2. If the gifted seat is for someone you know, enter her name and email in the registration form below. If you want She Builds & Shares to offer it to the community, write “Gift to the community.”
Every gifted seat includes the full Beyond the Rose experience.
Where your registration fee goes
Registration fees help cover a light dinner and refreshments, roses, activity materials, keepsakes, décor, and other expenses needed to create the Beyond the Rose experience.
Every woman receives the same experience, regardless of the registration level selected.
Come as you are
No titles. No pressure. No need to explain.
Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and like yourself. This is not therapy, a seminar, or a networking event. It is a beautiful room, thoughtful conversation, and space to reconnect with the woman you are beyond the roles you carry.
