Paint, Picnic & Sisterhood · Saturday, October 17, 2026

A classy Halloween picnic with a soft place to land.

1:00–4:00 PM · Taylor Park, Dothan · Detailed arrival directions for the new walking gazebo have been sent to confirmed guests.

Halloween has always been one of my favorite times of year. I love the colors, the creativity, the little bit of magic, and honestly—any reason to make things cute and create a memory. So I wanted this Sister Circle to feel like me: warm, playful, thoughtfully put together, and still grounded in real connection.

We will picnic, paint our own canvases, enjoy food and music, laugh, talk, take pictures at a classy Halloween backdrop, and make room for the kind of conversation that lets you exhale. Come cute, come comfortable, come with a friend, or come ready to meet one.

1:00 · Arrive & settle in

Check in, find a comfortable seat, enjoy music and refreshments, and take a photo at the Halloween backdrop.

1:30 · Eat, laugh & connect

A welcoming icebreaker, picnic food, easy conversation, and a little room to be unapologetically yourself—while being respectful, of course. lol

2:15–4:00 · Paint & pour back in

Canvas painting, a gentle reflection, music, pictures, laughter, and a soft closing to carry into the week ahead.

Seating note: The picnic look will include low, cozy setups along with standard-height chairs and tables. Confirmed guests may reply to their event email with accessibility needs so we can prepare thoughtfully.

Words to bring with you

You already belong in the room.

“I can arrive exactly as I am today.”

“I do not need perfect words to be understood.”

“It is safe to move at my own pace.”

“Making room for myself does not take anything away from the people I love.”

Sister Circle series

A year-round branch of Aire & Ease.

Sister Circles keep the connection going throughout the year and build toward the annual Aire & Ease Women's Mental Health & Wellness Experience. Each gathering can stand on its own, so you may join at any point.

Monthly community walk

Walk, Talk & Breathe
