2021 Special Events
The BWF Special Events are a series of incredible and unique experiences - from high tea to meditation, film screening to poetry showcase, and more.
Weird & Wonderful
These events explore the dark, the unusual, the whimsical, and the surprising. New voices and unexpected moments.

Kick-ass Women
These sessions discuss and dissect experiences of women’s strength and power through storytelling.
Parents & Their Children
These sessions place family ties under the microscope, teasing apart what makes a family work (or not!)
