Speakers
Katherine Wolf
Author, Advocate, and Co-Founder of Hope Heals
Katherine Wolf married her college sweetheart and moved to Los Angeles to pursue dreams in the entertainment industry. In 2008, as their six-month old baby slept in the next room, Katherine suffered a catastrophic brainstem stroke without warning. Miraculously, she survived and has spent nearly two decades navigating a second-chance life with disabilities. She continues her recovery to this day and gave birth to her miracle baby John in 2015. Through caregiving, storytelling, community building, and lived theology, Katherine is inviting others into a vision of hope, interdependence, and embodied resilience.
Willow Weston
Author, Speaker, and Founder & Director of Collide
Willow Weston has a gift for sharing stories and creating spaces where people can come as they are, laugh a little, and get honest about the places in life that hurt. She loves bringing passion, truth, and authenticity into every room she walks into, creating spaces where women can encounter Jesus in the middle of their real, messy lives and discover that healing and hope are possible. A wife and mom of more than 20 years, Willow loves people, throwing a good party, coffee, the beach, sunsets, kid cuddles, and—above all—a really good story. She believes our stories matter and that there is beauty to be found in even the messiest parts of our lives.

FAQs
Collide is an intergenerational gathering that draws hundreds of women with all different backgrounds, stories, beliefs, socioeconomic statuses, ethnicities, and experiences. Women who don’t go to church gather with women from the most liberal to the most conservative of churches and everything in between and together we run into God. We have women who are 17 and women who are 87 sitting on the same pews and learning from each other. We have meth addicts walking in the doors to collide with Jesus right along with professors, doctors, lawyers, and pastors. We have people getting help in our Wholeness and Counseling program right along with women discovering their gifts and using them to help others on our Ministry Team. We have people who have known God their whole lives seeing Him in new ways right alongside people who are meeting Him for the very first time. They are blown away together. Collide is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you have been and that is, perhaps, why God is showing Himself so powerfully at our conferences!
We don’t want finances to be an obstacle in the way of you coming to Collide! We often offer scholarships. Please email us at info@wecollide.net to see what we have available for specific events.
Every Collide event is unique and different from any other. We shape and craft an evening around a passage of scripture in the New Testament where Jesus collides with someone. Our events often include stories, teachers, speakers, dessert, art, music and worship, creative exercises, reflection and prayer. Each event is a unique experience that meets women right where they’re at.
Seating is available on a first come first served basis. Doors open to the event at 5:15pm so come early and enjoy a mocktail, and grab your seat.
We kick off the evening with tray-passed “mocktails” to welcome you in. When it comes to dessert time, we do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions. We try to offer gluten free and dairy free options, although each event is different so unfortunately we’re not always able to cater to everyone’s restrictions at each event. If you have questions email us at info@wecollide.net
Yes, you are able to come and go as you please as we want to make Collide accessible to you. Our events are crafted as a conversation from beginning to end so keep that in mind as you plan for the evening. We truly believe you will get the most out of your Collide experience by engaging with each part of the evening. If you’ve never been to a Collide conference before, you are in for an amazing experience full of unique elements and fun surprises. Our conferences are distinct from any other event you’ve been to, so we’ve compiled a few of the most commonly asked questions to help unpack what you can expect when it comes to your ticket, the conference experience, and how to prepare for an exciting night of colliding with Jesus.
