JoyTribes is an 11-month invitation for women in every season of life to cultivate deeper joy, strengthen relationships, and discover what it means to live more fully from the heart. Rooted in biblical truth and informed by the Life Model, this journey combines meaningful teaching, personal reflection, and relational practice in a supportive community of women.

Stories Unfolding
Reflections from women who have already begun their JoyTribes journey.
JOY — A New Way to Live
“I have gone from being unsure of myself and emotionally dysregulated to feeling secure and confident in myself and being able to handle life circumstances and relationships in a calmer, more joy-filled way.”
BELONGING — I Am Not Alone
“I’m especially grateful for the supportive group of women who openly shared their experiences—each story brought clarity and comfort, reminding me that I’m not alone in my journey.”
HEALING — Seeing My Story Differently
“Doing the heart and story work changed my life.
I struggled with knowing who I was and understanding why certain situations triggered such strong emotional responses. When life or relationships became difficult, I often felt overwhelmed and struggled to regain peace.
The workbook helped me recognize childhood experiences where I hadn't received what I needed to feel secure or learn to manage my emotions. Through that process, I encountered God's truth and healing in those places.
Today, I wake up with a new sense of identity, security, and appreciation for who God created me to be. My relationship with Him has grown stronger, and I see my story more clearly.
This work helped quiet my spirit and refresh my soul. I'm learning to navigate life's changing circumstances with greater confidence, peace, and the ability to thrive in my relationships.”
These reflections are shared with permission by women who participated in early JoyTribes groups. Some excerpts have been edited for clarity and length.
IDENTITY — Created to Shine
“It’s okay to shine. We were created to shine. I am more aware of those who help me shine brighter and those who try to dim my light.”
GROWTH — Invaluable Relational Skills
“I have acquired invaluable relational skills that help me navigate my relationships in a way that encourages connection vs division and growing vs stagnation.”
“JoyTribes gives us a roadmap, proven practices, and partners to support us on our journey of transformation.”

The Essentials

CULTIVATE offers the same monthly group teaching, with simpler opportunities to reflect and practice what you're learning alongside other women, locally or online.

An Invitation to Commit to the Journey
JoyTribes is designed as an 11-month journey of growth, connection, and transformation. When you register, you're making a commitment to participate in the full experience.
We also understand that life can bring unexpected circumstances. In the event of a serious illness, death in the family, or another significant emergency, we can arrange a pause in your participation, allowing you to resume where you left off when the next JoyTribes group begins.

Growing Together
in Tribes
Growth happens in relationship. Throughout your JoyTribes journey, you'll have opportunities to put what you're learning into practice alongside other women. These shared experiences help us build connection, strengthen relational skills, and discover what it means to grow together.
We encourage you to invite a friend or two to join you on the journey and form your own tribe of three women. Whenever possible, gather locally to learn, practice, and encourage one another. If meeting in person isn't practical, online tribes are another meaningful option. Whether you're joining with friends or coming on your own, we'll help you explore possibilities for connecting with others.
