#WeAllGrowSummit Checklist
Phone & #WeAllGrow Summit App
First, the #WeAllGrow Summit App is the most essential thing (aside from your phone) you’ll need to navigate our Sanctuary of Joy. Here, you’ll find the entire agenda and schedule, a directory of all the speakers and their bios along with what sessions and panels you can find them speaking at, connect with other attendees that are joining you at Summit, and stay up to date with all the announcements that are happening in real-time! Pro tip: review the schedule ahead of time and plan out your day so you can make the most out of #WeAllGrow Summit, and make sure to turn your notifications on for real-time updates and instant news!
The days are packed with so many activities and talks that you won’t want to miss, so you want to make sure that your phone is charged the whole time so you don’t miss out on capturing any key moments at the conference! Not only that, but since all Summit information will be on the #WeAllGrow Summit app, you will definitely need your phone charged at all times so you don’t lose track of key talks and announcements!
Notepad + Pen or Laptop
We have so many experts and brilliant mujeres that are eager to share their wisdom, knowledge, and experience with you at Summit! So make sure you bring a notebook and pen to write down these gems! What they’re sharing isn’t just to inspire you – they’re going to be giving you actionable tips to help you grow in business and in life, so be ready to take notes!
Sun hat, sunnies, and SPF.
La Quinta Resort & Club
Bring that sun protection! Word on the street is that we’ll be dealing with some hot temperatures, and with some of the AM activities being outdoors, you’ll want to dress light and bring sun protection.
Swimsuit
If you’re staying at one of the casitas or rooms at La Quinta, you’re going to have access to pools within the resort! So bring your favorite swimsuit and enjoy a dip in the water under the Palm Desert sun!
Water bottle
Again, it’s going to be warm and we will be in the desert, so we want you hydrated! Make sure to have your own water bottle to carry with you. There will be water stations in different areas throughout the resort so you can refill when necessary.
Your Divas & Diosas fit
If you’re joining us for our Divas & Diosas opening party with Buick, make sure you come dressed for the occasion! If you’re still thinking about what you should wear, we have a Pinterest board just for you to give you some inspiration.
Tissues
If you’ve been to Storytellers, you know exactly why we included this.
If it’s your first time attending #WeAllGrow Summit and Storytellers, it is one of the most magical moments of the entire weekend, with stories that will make you laugh and definitely cry. All we can say is – preparense!
Your OOO notification
You’re coming to the Sanctuary of Joy – not the sanctuary of answering emails. Remember to set your OOO before you make your way to La Quinta! However, don’t completely log off – make sure to stay tuned for daily emails from us to stay up to date with everything happening at Summit!

HEAL
Exploring ways to deepen into your body and connect with your heart because it’s the best recipe for release + transformation.
#WeAllGrow Summit 2022 is infused with opportunities and workshops designed to face the limiting beliefs holding you back from the joy + abundance you deserve. It’s time to shed old ways of being and blossom into the Diosas that we are.
COMMUNE
Sisterhood has a way of making one feel safe enough to take a step in the direction of their dreams. Juntas, somos más fuertes.
Summit 2022 is anchored in bringing amigas together to celebrate life and encourage each other’s growth. Hermanas will be able to share rooms in the hotel, just like old-time sleepovers. There will be opportunities to come together over delicious meals, sunbathing by the pool, or workshopping each other’s dreams through our programming sessions.
GROW
When we hold ourselves accountable for our actions and are conscious of our choices, we begin to step up in a whole new way.
#WeAllGrow Summit 2022 wants you to take up space, and make your voice heard. Discover what it takes to commit to your goals and community with some incredible speakers and workshops. Trust us, the person who walks out of Summit will be different than the person who walked in.
We hope that you will join us this fall at our Sanctuary of Joy to tap into healing, communing, and growing collectively from September 29 to October 1, 2022.
