Preserving Your Bloom
Explore, awaken, and nurture your personal magic
Preserving Your Bloom is a non-profit organization that offers opportunities for woman at every stage of life to learn, connect and grow based on six core pillars: Self-Care, Growth, Leisure, Relationships, Communication and Spirituality and inspires woman of every age to use their talents and resources to be the best they can be.
While Preserving Your Bloom isn’t about gardening, it is about helping you learn how to tend to yourself so you can flourish and grow, enabling you to live the life you crave. It’s about being luminous, not lackluster. It's about looking inward so you can present your best outward self. Because we are all wonderful works in progress!
