We believe every woman is a gift. We are a community of professional women pursuing a life of spiritual abundance and inner peace. As you pour yourself out for others, we want to pour into you. We invite you to join us for an event. To gather, to share, to be nourished.

Our Why

What Does the
Lydia Institute Offer?

What Will I Get Out of This?

The chance to connect with God and increase your inner peace. New friends and a community to walk with you and take you higher. Inspiration, wisdom and spiritual energy. A more integrated, wholistic approach to your multi-faceted life, and much, much more!

What will I get out of this?

In today’s world, it’s easy to get caught up in the noise—whether it’s from our careers, social media, or the constant pressure to balance everything. That’s why the Lydia Institute is here to help you navigate the noise and grow deeper in your faith amidst the busyness of everyday life. Join us this Fall for a five-week series designed to equip you with spiritual tools and personal support. This series offers the chance to connect with like-minded women, learn how to find clarity through faith, and reflect on what it means to be a leader in both society and the Church. Spots are limited, so register today!
