It's Time 2 Celebrate U!
Toast2U is a monthly encouragement and accountability party for women of all ages. Each month we gather to practice intentional celebration in a fun, supportive and safe environment.This event supports us as we learn to celebrate our personal victories and set new intentions for the coming month.
As women, we spend a tremendous amount of time setting goals, working hard and stretching ourselves to meet our highest calling. But how often do you take time to celebrate your successes? Your accomplishments? Your victories? You've come a long way, honey, and you deserve a toast for all you've done and all you're working to do!
Toast2U now in Ferndale!
Toast2U partnered with the SheHive to host an all new series of celebrations in Ferndale.

Intentional Celebration for Healing

Women of All Ages and Stages
Toast2U is open to women of varying professions, backgrounds and life stages. We provide non-alcohol toasting options so that women and girls of all ages can participate.
How It Works
Arrive and Munch
When you arrive to the toast, feel free to get comfortable. Mingle. Eat a few snacks (or a lot). And enjoy the view!
Expandfully Session
Before each toast, We have a group coaching session to get us thinking about our larger scale goals, visions, strengths and aspirations.
Pop The Bottles!
This is the point where we TOAST2U! You get the floor to announce your biggest accomplishment for the past month. This is not a time to be modest, we came here to CELEBRATE!
Set New Intentions
Toast2U isn't only a celebration it's also a giant gathering of accountability sisters. To end the toast each woman gets a chance to announce her intention for the coming month. This is an action she hopes to take or goal she hopes to celebrate by the next toast.
Hugs and Goodbyes
A Dream Come True
So how did Toast2U start?
Hello, my name is Brandi Keeler
and my friends know me to be an avid visionboarder (made a new word there) and I am frequently daydreaming about the future. One thing I always daydreamed about in particular was gathering my amazing group of friends in a beautiful room to toast to some huge success of mine. I pasted these images and words about my "dream celebration" all over my desk and closet as a reminder to myself that one day I'd be able to enjoy all of the fruits of my labor.
That day seemed so far away until I stumbled upon this article. Reading about accomplishment salons helped me to realize a few things:
- Celebration doesn't just happen. If I wanted to be in a room of amazing people toasting, then I needed to MAKE time for celebration (not just dream about it)
- I am constantly surrounded by a group of powerful inspiring women who deserve to be celebrated as well
- I hadn't been spending enough time with the people who motivate me the most
When I finished reading the article I shared it with a friend, chose a date, asked my grandmother to use her apartment, invited a small group of amazing ladies and the first TOAST2U happened!
I was in tears when I got home from the first toast. I felt so proud and joyous for all the AMAZING things these ladies had accomplished. Moreover I felt blessed to have this dream come true. What I didn't realize was that I'd find so much more joy in celebrating the successes of others than in celebrating my own success. The motivation and inspiration I received from that one toast sustained me through the rest of the month. And now I'm ready to share this blessing with even more amazing women. Thanks for joining. I'm looking forward to toasting to you soon!
