<h1>Still Becoming Collective: A Free Monthly Gathering for Women in Huntsville</h1>
Connect. Reflect. Heal. Grow. Keep Becoming.
Ladies, sometimes we need a space to slow down, connect with other women, have honest conversations, and take a closer look at the experiences that have shaped us.
That's what the Winning Women-hosted&nbsp;Still Becoming Collective is all about!
Join us on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, for a free, faith-centered gathering designed to encourage personal growth, emotional healing, and meaningful connections.
This month, we'll continue exploring our Mother-Daughter History Map, the HEAL framework, and how our past experiences, family patterns, and unmet emotional needs can influence the way we show up in our relationships today. We'll talk about recognizing unhealthy patterns, understanding our emotional responses, and learning how to move forward with greater awareness, intention, and faith.&nbsp; And don't worry, this isn't a gathering where you have to share your personal story with a room full of strangers! You're welcome to listen, reflect, participate in interactive activities, and connect at your own comfort level.


<h3>What Is the Still Becoming Collective?</h3>
The Still Becoming Collective is a free monthly gathering for women who want to grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.
Each month, we explore different topics related to personal growth, faith, emotional healing, mother-daughter relationships, and becoming the women God created us to be.
You don't have to attend every month, and you don't need to have participated in previous gatherings to join us. Each gathering offers an opportunity to learn something new and connect with other women.
Whether your mother-daughter relationship is close, complicated, distant, or your mother is no longer living, there's room for your story.
<h3>Event Details</h3>
Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Location: 2021 Golf Rd SW, Huntsville, AL 35802
Cost: FREE
Lunch: Provided
Hosted by: Winning Women Restoration Church
Facilitated by: Marsha D. Gill, MS, CMHC, Mother-Daughter &amp; Inner Daughter Relationship Coach, author of Still Becoming, and founder of the Still Becoming Collective.
All women are welcome!
If you've been looking for an opportunity to connect with other women, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and grow in a supportive, faith-centered environment, we'd love to have you join us.
You don't have to have everything figured out. You're still learning, still growing, and still becoming.

We look forward to seeing you!
