What Gatherings Are?
Thorn & Bloom gatherings are intentional, Scripture-centered conversations for women seeking depth, formation, and shared reflection.
Each gathering creates space to engage Scripture thoughtfully, listen attentively, and reflect honestly.
This is done without urgency, performance, or pressure.
This is not a class, and it is not a support group, it’s a space for shared reflection and spiritual growth.
Thorn & Bloom gatherings are for women who:
Are open to Scripture-centered formation
Are open to preparing and reflecting between gatherings
Seek growth, not perfection
Value thoughtful conversation and confidentiality
No prior theological training is required, only care, presence, and commitment to the rhythm of the space.

If you miss a gathering, you’re still welcome to return.
Current Season
This season, Thorn & Bloom is gathering around Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation by Dr. Ingrid Faro.
We’ll read slowly and honestly, making space for real questions, lived experiences, and the ways God meets us in Scripture. Our gatherings are not about having the “right” answers, but about learning together, listening deeply, and growing in our understanding of who God is and how He moves in our lives.
The season includes six bi-weekly gatherings and a closing experiential session centered on beauty and embodied reflection.
Registration signals commitment to the rhythm and care of the space.
The season is underway.
