B Elevated Now: Empowering Visionary Women
Legacy Building While Navigating Professional, Personal, Spiritual & Socioeconomic Shifts
B Elevated Now returns this July for an unforgettable evening curated to ignite legacy, purpose, and power within visionary women who are navigating life’s most potent shifts.
Hosted by Empress Angelique, Visionary Founder of B Elevated Holistic Wellbeing and the Life Alchemy Coaching Academy, this sacred gathering is a full-body, full-soul experience where empowerment meets elevation — in community, in conversation, and in celebration of sacred womanhood.
B Elevated Now is more than an event—it’s a sacred container designed to elevate visionary women through powerful conversations, high-frequency community, and wellbeing rituals that nourish the soul and expand the mission.
In a time where pivots are sacred and leadership requires courage, this experience calls forth women creatives, founders, healers, and movement-makers who are redefining what legacy means in real time. In a world of constant change — spiritually, professionally, personally, and economically — legacy is no longer just about what we leave behind... it's about how we choose to live, lead, and love right now.
Whether you’re shifting directions in your business, stepping deeper into your divine assignment, or healing personal wounds to rise higher in purpose—this gathering is your reminder: you are not alone, and your presence is legacy.
This event is for visionary women, healers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders who are actively building new paradigms, redefining success, and anchoring soul-aligned purpose through it all.
