Women 4 Women: Connecting To Your Inner Resilience

​Join us to participate in a small, supportive 8-week, trauma-informed mindfulness-based group where you will uncover ways to tap into your innate strengths and develop competence to navigate the stress of everyday life.  With the approach of spring, we offer this program to promote healing and renewal from the losses and challenges of this past year’s pandemic. The intimate nature of the small group context provides opportunity to enhance self-awareness and discover the power of connection and community.

As a result of this 8-week program, participants will:
●      become familiar with the way that the mind and body reacts in ordinary situations
●      gain insight and compassion into the personal and collective  experience of being human
●      learn how to respond to whatever happens in life with a sense of kindness and equanimity
●      recognize and appreciate their unique gifts; and
●      connect to their sense of personal agency
 
Dates and Times:      Tuesdays, 9:30 - 11:30 AM, beginning March 23, 2021  OR
                                      Wednesday, 7:00 - 9:00 pm, beginning March 24, 2021
Fee:                               Before March 10, $325 (early bird rate); After March 10, $ 400
                                      (Educators and First Responders may request a reduced rate) 

​The program will be held virtually through Zoom and facilitated by two mental health professionals skilled in teaching this program. Two different time slots are offered to accommodate interested participants. Groups are limited to no more than twelve women.
