Latha Jay
Keynote Speaker
Latha Jay is where science meets soul. A magnetic blend of modern mystic and manifestation maven, she’s the kind of woman who can quote neuroscience while leading a cacao ceremony. She’s deeply spiritual and wildly strategic — the coach, teacher, and creator women didn’t know they needed until they hear her speak.
Latha turns shadow work into a sacred art, manifestation into a method, and self-development into a lifestyle. Whether she’s leading a Journey Group session or stepping onto a stage, her message is clear: You are powerful, and it’s time to live like it.

Cumberland Honey
Live Music
Hailing from the heart of Cumberland County, PA, Cumberland Honey brings sweet harmonies with folk and soul influences and a taste of bluegrass. Their original songs weave stories of life and love with heartfelt harmonies that feel like home.
