Women's Healing Circle

guided by Maggie de Vera

NEW DATES: TBD

A gathering of women from different walks of life, cultures, identities, experiences and faith but share a similar energy of compassion, spirituality, sensitivity, love and seeking to evolve, grow, strengthen and heal. 
In this group, we share, express and explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, nurturing, confidential space. 
We as human beings face many challenges in life. Nurturing is important for women to give AND receive. Yet often times, women neglect the part where we 'receive', either from others or ourselves. Our OWN nurturing gets lost in life's shuffle. Sometimes, we just do what we have to do and more and more we lose ourselves, because we give so much... Sometimes we have questions about life but are afraid to ask. And sometimes, we don't even know WHAT to ask. 
In this group, we support, validate, and nurture ourselves and each other. We honor and respect ourselves, our spirits and our journey- recognizing the lessons learned and still to learn along the way.
Here, we break bread together, fill our souls with music, write, meditate, open ourselves, receive nurturing and validation, learn new life skills and tools, reflect, heal, strengthen and grow...
MANIFESTATION: Launching our New Year in gifting ourselves with this Blessing of gathering amongst the powerful women we are/can all be. And during the year, we receive an abundance of what's most important in what we want and need...
