The Wicked Wise Women experience

The Wicked Wise Women experience is more than a celebration—it's a movement rooted in empowerment, creativity, and community impact.

This year, we’re proud to support the Hope and Justice Project, a local nonprofit dedicated to advocating for survivors of domestic abuse and fostering safe, supportive environments across Maine.

In partnership with Ignite PI, we’ll culminate this experience with an unforgettable Wicked Wise Women Gala on October 17, 2026, at the Northeastland Hotel in Presque Isle—honoring every woman who participates in the portrait experience.

Why Join Wicked Wise Women?

Because women carry stories that shape families, communities, and culture—and those stories deserve to be seen and heard.

Because wisdom isn’t about age—it’s about experience, insight, and the courage to grow.

Because you’ve spent years showing up for others—and now it’s time to show up for yourself.

Because beauty isn’t defined by trends—it’s defined by authenticity, confidence, and how you choose to express it.

Because you deserve to be pampered this way!

This is your chance to indulge in a glam or boudoir session, be featured in a magazine that celebrates women’s wisdom, and be honored at a fancy gala—all while supporting The Hope and Justice Project, a nonprofit helping women rebuild their lives.
