Welcome to The
Gather Community!
Who we are
Before we were The Gather Community, Gather was a physical space in downtown Santa Cruz. I'm Tracie Root, creator of The Gather Community, and I was inspired to create a space to bring friends, associates, clients and family together to learn, grow, and experience new things. My mission was to bring people together, for the good of all.
During the lockdown of 2020 +, we had some changes in our lives. It wasn't long before I realized that what's important is building community where we can. In The Gather Community, we are thriving by as we shifted our focus from renting one room in one town to supporting our members and the community at large exclusively online!
Even though events can be successfully in person now, we will gratefully be continuing our robust community offerings by holding and promoting online events with members from all around the globe.

Our culture and values
Originating in Santa Cruz, California, The Gather Community takes on the vibe of its origin by being both unique and for everyone at the same time. Everything we do is based on support, encouragement, and uplifting others. Our core values include:
Kindness
We're all in this together. We create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where we treat each other with respect.
Generosity
We give more than we take, we share and are open-hearted.
Trust
We hold space for authentic, expressive discussions, and differing opinions are embraced and accepted with grace.
Support
We add value, tips, and experiences to each other in order to learn, grow, and thrive.
Cooperation
We are better together!
Respect
Mutual respect is required for everyone to feel comfortable, seen, and accepted.
Opportunities to Connect
The Gather Community wants to support you!
We have paid members, our community Creators and Contributors, whom we support and promote, and who engage in our hosted events and other activities. We connect women to support, encourage, and uplift each other with networking / connection / fun events and with BOLD Action Sessions. We send out regular communications about our upcoming events as well as for personal and professional development tips, so you can focus on being and doing what's most beneficial to you and your life.
