Upcoming Events
Beauty for Ashes 2025 - INVISIBLE WOUNDS
On Saturday, November 1, 2025, Beauty for Ashes 2025 will return with an unforgettable experience designed to touch the deepest places of the heart. This year’s gathering will feature powerful, soul-stirring stories from both men and women who have endured some of life’s most traumatic battles—moments that could have broken them, but instead became the fuel for their greatest triumphs. These courageous individuals turned their ashes into something beautiful, and their testimonies will inspire you to believe in the possibility of your own renewal. Because of the raw and deeply personal nature of what will be shared, this event will not be streamed live or recorded—you must be in the room to experience it. Seats are limited, and every ticket is an invitation to witness resilience, restoration, and the beauty of rising again.
