Who We Are
Village Well represents a community of women who promote self love and empowerment through authentic connection, in a sacred space. We are story tellers, truth seekers, and bearers of light. We believe that every woman is her own unique well of wisdom, beauty, and authenticity. When we gather together as fellow sisters to share our journeys, we become a better version of ourselves. If you are still reading, it is because intuitively, you know it can be different if you say yes.
Come. Restore. Heal....we have been waiting for you.
