W/ National Gathering 2018
November 13 - 15, Denver
This was not an ordinary gathering. W/ exists to hold connective space W/ you and to highlight your passions and projects. We curated spaces during this gathering to encourage the creation and life of new and existing connections. We also hosted conversations that challenged our perspective, expanded our courage, and piqued our curiosity. We highlighted the voices of everyone in the collective.
2018 Keynotes & Panels
We chose four topics to feature the projects and passions of W/. Each conversation started with a curated panel discussion of leaders from different voices, perspectives, and experiences. Then the panel opened to everyone. We wanted to hear everyone’s voice, perspective, and passion. Each topic was hosted by a leader who guided the discussion into a full group conversation that challenged each one of us to be truly W/ one another in discernment, hope, and love.
Keynote Speakers brought our topics together at the beginning and end of each day. Throughout the gathering we offered opportunities for self-care and spiritual practice led by artists, worship, and prayer leaders from around the nation.

2018 Artists & Speakers
During our full gatherings and throughout the day, we heard from faith leaders, organizations, and projects within the collective. Each one was unique, be it a podcast or a church or an art studio. They were all the creation of someone who sees themselves in the W/ narrative. W/ facilitates connection between those organizations in order to facilitate shared resources, projects, and collaborations. We want you and your passions, projects, and dreams to thrive W/ us too. The National Gathering was the perfect time to start making connections W/ with one another.
