Raise Your Sleeves Conference, 2026
Carving the future YOU and creating the marriage of your dreams through knowledge and intentionality.
Are You Ready to Do the Work?
The Raise Your Sleeves is an annual international conference for singles and dating/courting couples, delivered by The Almond Brand. Our core mission is to help singles maximise their singlehood, teach them how to be better versions of themselves, cultivate the right parenthood mindset, and raise and preserve a Godly generation.
For us, raising balanced singles with the right values is essential. We believe this is the construct on which a better society is created; a balanced single, balanced parents, balanced children and eventually a balanced society.
As a nation, we need Singles who will return to the ancient landmarks on which beautiful and fulfilling marriages were laid. Singles who will be ready to do the work it requires in dying empty; finding who they are as an individual, stretching beyond comfortability, expanding their capacity to be who they are called to be, being present partners and parents, and partnering with God to raise a Godly generation.
Raise Your Sleeves Conference will rally intentional singles and dating couples to bring their A-game to the family sector reducing the rate of lost and broken individuals and eventually divorce in society.
