Gathering together with new and old friends to be creative is a fun way to connect! A unique aspect of the Grateful Girl Gathering is our DIY sessions.
These breakout sessions are presented by creative leaders in their field and offer our attendees a fun time of learning something new and fellowshipping with fellow attendees.
Each attendee can choose one DIY session that interests them when they register for the conference. (Tip: Register early to make sure you get your first choice, but no worries if you don’t! They are all great!)
This year we have FIVE Sessions to choose from! We listened to your feedback and have added two non-crafty DIYs with a focus on diving deeper into the Word with two of our 2024 speakers! It’s an amazing year for DIY sessions!
