Flourish 2018 UPDATE

Due to receiving significantly fewer registrations than we needed to make the original schedule and options possible, we’ve had to adjust and streamline to ensure that Flourish 2018 can still happen. 
As a way to compensate for having single versus multiple options per session, we intend to cover the cost of some of the add-ons that were previously offered. Flourish will still be fabulous this year and we’re excited to spend the day with several amazing women! The following changes are being implemented:
  • Venue has been changed to Tides Yoga Studio in Kenai.
  • Continental breakfast, lunch from Charlotte’s restaurant, and a variety of snacks and beverages all day will be provided. Dinner will not be provided.
  • Flourish will cover the cost of a choice between nonalcoholic sip-n-paint OR essential oil make-n-take.
  • Flourish will cover the cost of a choice between a 15-minute chair massage OR a brow or underarm wax for each participant.


New schedule is as follows:
Saturday, July 7th 8:30-5:30
  • Continental Breakfast
  • Keynote/Activity with Lisa Schmitter, LPC
  • Several Breaks for socializing, massages, and waxes
  • Special Guest speaker (surprise)
  • Massages with Marlene Loomis, LMP
  • Vision Boards with Lisa Schmitter
  • Lunch
  • Yoga with Sohnya of Tides Yoga (who is also our gracious host)
  • Sip-n-Paint with Bad Art Co / DoTerra Make-n-take with Farrah Collver
  • Guided Mindfulness with Kyra Haglund
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to post,email us at FlourishOnTheKenai@gmail.com or message us at facebook, or text 907-398-2939. As usual, we’ll have door prizes and cool swag bags. 
We do need 15 more ladies to sign up so PLEASE pass this on to other women who may be interested.

Flourish 2017

This year we had 27 attendees and (after some initial investment from the creators) we broke even financially, which we were pretty proud of since we pulled it all together in 2 months. We're also proud to have pulled off an awesome event that was completely by women and for women.


Next year we hope to start earlier, offer more, triple the attendance, and ideally make a little money so that we can donate it to the local women's shelter.
