There comes a moment in every woman's journey when she must decide whether the breaking will become her identity or her testimony.
ASCEND 2026: Beyond the Break is a prophetic gathering for women ready to move beyond survival and step fully into their purpose. It is for the woman who has done the work of healing, confronted the pain, endured the process, and now senses God calling her higher.
Whether your break came through loss, grief, disappointment, divorce, betrayal, rejection, transition, trauma, or life's unexpected interruptions, this gathering is designed to help you move beyond the place where you were wounded and into the place where you are being called.
This is not a conference about what happened to you. It is about what God is doing through you.
Join Pastor Vioree and special guests on September 18th-20th in Glen Burnie, MD, at Fresh Start Church, for a powerful three days of worship, transformational teaching, authentic conversations, leadership development, and life-changing encounters with God. Where women from across the nation will gather to be equipped, empowered, and activated for their next season.

What to Expect
Honest Conversations
Engage in transparent, life-giving conversations that address the real issues women face every day, from faith, identity, purpose, and leadership to healing, relationships, grief, career, mental wellness, and the navigation of life's unexpected transitions. Rooted in biblical truth and shared with compassion, authenticity, and wisdom, these discussions create a safe space to ask difficult questions, receive practical insight, and discover that you are not alone in your journey. Come expecting conversations that inspire healing, spark breakthroughs, strengthen your faith, and empower you to walk forward in freedom, wholeness, and confidence.
Dynamic Speakers
Be inspired by influential pastors, leaders, authors, and changemakers who bring a wealth of wisdom, experience, and Kingdom insight. Through powerful teaching, authentic storytelling, and practical application, you'll be challenged to think differently, grow deeper in your faith, and embrace the next level of your purpose. Each session is intentionally designed to equip you with the tools, strategies, and spiritual encouragement needed to navigate life's challenges, lead with confidence, and walk boldly in every season God has prepared for you.
Bowling & Authentic Sisterhood
Kick off the weekend with an evening of fun, laughter, and genuine connection. Our Friday Night Bowling Experience is designed to help you build new friendships, strengthen community, and simply enjoy the journey with incredible women before the conference sessions begin. Sometimes the greatest connections are formed outside the conference room—and this is where sisterhood begins.
VIP Priority Seating & Seated Lunch
Enjoy an elevated conference experience with reserved priority seating for every main session and a beautifully curated seated lunch designed exclusively for our VIP guests. Relax, connect, and enjoy meaningful conversations in a comfortable setting while receiving an experience created to honor and celebrate your investment in ASCEND.
Powerful Worship
Experience the presence of God through passionate, Spirit-led worship that prepares your heart, renews your faith, and creates space for God to move in a personal and powerful way. Every worship experience is intentionally designed to usher you into His presence, quiet the noise of everyday life, and position your heart to receive everything He desires to pour into you. Come expecting moments of healing, restoration, breakthrough, and fresh encounters that will strengthen your spirit, deepen your relationship with God, and prepare you to ascend into your next season with renewed purpose and confidence.
