About this Event

Build Your Village Summit

Date: September 13, 2025

Location: Randall House

In the Upstate of South Carolina, we believe in the power of community, the strength of connection, and the transformative potential of being seen and supported—especially during life’s most profound seasons. Pregnancy, postpartum, and the journey to conception are not paths meant to be walked alone. Yet, so many in our community find themselves navigating these pivotal moments in isolation, unsure where to turn or how to build the village of care they deserve.

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the inaugural Build Your Village Perinatal Summit, an immersive and community-centered event designed to empower expectant parents, new families, and those preparing for conception. This summit will serve as a vibrant hub where attendees can connect with the incredible ecosystem of care providers and healers in our region—midwives, doulas, birth photographers, chiropractors, pelvic floor therapists, bodyworkers, energy healers, and many more. Together, we will weave a tapestry of resources, education, and support to ensure that no family in the Upstate feels alone on their journey.

We have a day filled with meaningful conversations, inspiring workshops, and hands-on opportunities to foster relationships that transcend the event itself. But to bring this vision to life. We hope that you join us to foster the sense of village community and that you too may find yours.
