There are seasons when women need more than just a quick break from their busy schedules. Sometimes, we need a safe space where we can pause, listen, pray, learn, and be reminded that God is still working in our lives.
This is exactly what Jewels Conference 2026 hopes to offer as it gathers women from different ages and stages of life on August 8, 2026, at Space at One Ayala in Makati City.

| The Jewels Conference is a venue for inspiring, empowering, and educating women of different ages and stages of life. |
With the mission of “women serving women,” this year’s conference carries the theme “Becoming.” It is an invitation for every woman to recognize that she is continuously being shaped by God, one moment and one season at a time.
Women outside Metro Manila and even those based abroad may also join, as both on-site and online conference access are available.
Gretchen Ho and Bo Sanchez Lead This Year’s Speakers
One of the speakers I am looking forward to hearing from is journalist, host, athlete, and “Woman In Action” Gretchen Ho.

Gretchen has always been open about her Catholic faith and often uses her platform to talk about resilience, mental health, Scripture, and her personal journey. She will deliver a special plenary message alongside Catholic lay preacher, entrepreneur, and bestselling author Bo Sanchez.
The conference will also feature an inspiring lineup of women speakers:
- Award-winning podcaster and women’s formation speaker Lallaine Gogna
- Creative leader, songwriter, and worship leader Veia Lim-Viñas
- Catholic influencer, strategic communicator, and author Rissa Singson-Kawpeng
- Registered psychologist, author, and my good friend Dr. Michele Alignay
Fr. Dave Concepcion, known for his meaningful and straight-to-the-heart homilies, will serve as the main Mass presider.
Classes for the Different Seasons of a Woman’s Life
What I appreciate about Jewels Conference is that it does not treat every woman’s experience as the same. We may share similar struggles, but we are all navigating different seasons.
Participants can choose from classes that address faith, emotional well-being, relationships, loss, health, and creativity.
The class topics include:
- Boundaries with Grace: Setting Healthy Limits for a Better You
- Mary’s Yes: Lessons in Surrender, Trust, and Obedience
- Waiting with Hope: For Women Navigating Loss, Longing & Unanswered Prayers
- Changing Seasons: Navigating Perimenopause & Caring for Your Mind, Body & Spirit
- Bible Journaling & Creative Devotions: Reflecting on Scripture Through Art & Prayer
As someone currently going through a major season of change in my own life, I find the session on perimenopause and caring for the mind, body, and spirit especially relevant. It is encouraging to know that women can come together and openly talk about experiences that are often faced quietly.
A Conference That Also Gives Back
Jewels Conference is not only about receiving inspiration. It is also an opportunity to become a blessing to other women.

| Jewels Conference is all about #WomenServingWomen. The conference beneficiary is Jeremiah Foundation, a shelter for teenage girls who are survivors of sexual abuse. |
This year’s beneficiary is Jeremiah Foundation, a Feast Mercy Ministry that provides shelter and support to teenage girls who are survivors of sexual abuse.
During the conference, a special campaign will also be launched to help build a permanent home for the Foundation.
By attending, participants are not only investing in their own spiritual and personal growth. They are also supporting young women who need a safe place to heal, rebuild their lives, and begin again.
