Whether you arrive with friends or come solo, our goal is simple:
to create a beautiful, welcoming space where women feel seen, supported, celebrated, and free to simply exhale.
Come together for wine, dinner, laughter, gratitude, and real conversations — because no woman should have to hide through the holidays alone.
A Real, MATURE Conversation About Menopause
with Dr. Rose Blackburne, MD, MBA
We are currently working to reschedule this event. We sincerely apologize for the previous cancellation (May 9), which was necessary due to an unexpected family emergency involving the host. Thank you for your grace, patience, and understanding during that time.
This conversation remains deeply important to no more hiding™ and to the many women seeking honest discussion, practical information, and supportive community around menopause and midlife wellness.
We are actively exploring new dates with the guest speaker and venue. The venue will remain as previously announced. We look forward to bringing this meaningful experience to life soon. Additional details and registration information will be announced once confirmed.
