November 2025 Event Recap

What an unforgettable Holiday Market/Mercadito Festivo!

This year, PWNCR proudly celebrated seven wonderful years of our Holiday Market tradition—and what a celebration it was! On Sunday, November 23rd, the Viejo Mercado in Ciudad Colón came alive as more than 40 talented vendors showcased their beautiful creations and shared the heart and passion behind their businesses.

Be sure to visit our PWNCR Facebook page to browse the full photo album and relive the magic!

Our workshop and entertainment program was filled with PWNCR members who are inspiring experts and performers, including:

• Vanessa Saenz / Volio Law: Your Power: Legal Essentials for Every Businesswoman
• Geri Brown / Cinco Ramas: Healing Spices
• Lauretta Nkwocha: Beloved entertainer and founder of Lauretta’s British Ginger T, sharing classic holiday favorites
• Adele Lurie / The Vitality Alchemist: AromaTouch Hand Technique
• María Delgado / Proyecto Nyubu: El arte de volver a mi: cómo el autocuidado consciente transforma el bienestar emocional
• Gail Nystrom / Costa Rican Humanitarian Foundation: A Living Model of Hope in Our World Today

To everyone who came out to support the market and “shop local”—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. At the PWNCR Holiday Market, every purchase truly matters. Instead of going to a large corporation, your support becomes ballet or piano lessons for a child, school supplies, veterinary care for a rescued dog, or a much-needed moment of financial breathing room for a woman building her business with her own two hands.

Behind every table was a story—women crafting textile art, scarves, jewelry, accessories, offering professional services, mentorship, and so much more. Women who teach, who support families, and who continue showing up with strength and creativity, even in challenging years.

Thank you for celebrating community, creativity, and women’s entrepreneurship with us. Here’s to many more years of supporting each other and shining together!
