Try Softer: Story Care Group for Women (Fall 2026)

NOTE: Care Groups are closed environments that ask for consistent attendance (not missing more than 2 weeks in a given cohort).  This is essential for creating a safe, trusting, and therapeutic environment. Missing more than 2 weeks can disrupt the group’s rhythm and cohesion, making it harder for members to feel connected and supported. 

About this Group

This Care Group is for many different types of women:  Those who have had painful life experiences in life; those who desire to reflect on how their story has shaped them; those who long to walk in greater peace and compassion. Following the book Try Softer by Aundi Kolber, we will provide a space to learn, process, and build community around this topic.

Try Softer isn’t just about Trauma or Anxiety (though these are themes); it’s about how to see your full story, respond to your body, and learn about how to be someone who lives with moment-by-moment peace (instead of coping with suppression, self-medication, or crushing expectations).

This group is facilitated by Care Group Lead Becky Smith and other leaders who have attended this group prior, and now provide support to women.

Try Softer emphases safety and support of members who get to share when, what, and how much they desire (without pressure).

This Care Group is a closed group with limited space.  You will be provided with a book!
