Upcoming Gatherings
Water Bearer Collective gatherings are designed to create spaces for women to pause, reconnect, reflect, learn, and renew.
Rooted in our core values of empowerment, connection, and compassion, each event invites women to care for themselves, deepen community, and carry their gifts back into their families, work, relationships, and the wider world.
Taboo & True with Nicole Johnston Live Event
Water Bearer Collective presents Taboo & True. Drawing from her book, Taboo Topics: Things Women Should Talk About, But Don't, Nicole will lead an honest and empowering conversation about the unspoken challenges women face. You'll leave with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and renewed confidence to lead with authenticity and purpose. The evening will conclude with an interactive Q&A.
Taboo & True with Nicole Johnston Online Book Club - September 29 and October 20th
Taboo & True moves beyond simply reading a book. Through shared reflection, honest conversation, and live discussions with Nicole, we will explore the topics women are often taught to keep private and discover the connection, freedom, and empowerment that can come from speaking our truths together.
Nicole will join the Water Bearer Collective community to host two intimate online book club Zoom sessions (August 4th and September 1st), where you can ask questions, share your story, and learn directly from the author.
Beautifully Over It: An Evening of Storytelling, Connection & Becoming
Join Water Bearer Collective and the creators of Beautifully Over It, Amanda Rundquist and Celina Peerman for a meaningful summer evening of reflection, creativity, and community.
This special gathering invites women to pause, reconnect with themselves, and reflect on the seasons of life we are ready to release — and the beauty, wisdom, and strength we discover as we become more fully ourselves.
Through shared stories, thoughtful conversation, and guided journaling, we will explore what it means to move through change with courage, humor, grace, and community.
Come as you are. Leave feeling seen, encouraged, and connected.
Tickets: $40 per person
Registration Includes a Beautifully Over It journal
