Michele Dudley
Hosted by Michele Dudley, a Gathering Board Member, this in-person retreat will be the first of its kind for our community. We'll bring together a group of women givers of all ages, backgrounds, and geographies. Through conversation and meals, we'll work through the excellent resources from our friends at Women Doing Well, a ministry that helps women live whole-hearted generosity. The scaffolding of the retreat experience will be content and questions from The Pathway. Space is limited. Email Michele for more information.
When: Spring 2027
Where: Isle of Palms, South Carolina
Why: To connect more deeply with other women who are pursuing their purpose, passion, and plan in Christian stewardship

Criteria to join our community events
- Follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
- Give at least $200,000 a year to Christian causes. Though the number isn't a rigid threshold, it represents a proxy for the types of people who are asking and wrestling with the same questions around wise stewardship, giving well, avoiding pitfalls, raising the next generation, allocating resources, defining a family legacy, etc. People come to The Gathering to pursue relationships with peers who are exploring similar issues with a measure of humility, vulnerability, and trust.
