Fully booked - email Lauren to be on the waitlist hello@lauren-howe.com
This gathering is open to all who identify as women and non-binary. We welcome all races, all religions, all countries of origin, all sexual orientations.
Join Lauren and Jess (your facilitators) on a journey of un-learning, healing, and cultivating community through acknowledging the personal, local, and national impacts of colonisation, capitalism and patriarchal rule. Our purpose is to support the healing of our relationship to self, others, and the natural world.
Held every 2 months, we lean into big topics and hopefully inspire greater awareness and self driven action. No debate. No judgement. No advice given. Just sharing from an embodied “I” experience. There will be a set guidelines to create a supportive container which you will be able to contribute to.
Each gathering will themed by the reading of a topical book, podcast or documentary.
We will meet on Zoom and commence with a grounding meditation, following by the opportunity for each person to share, some reflections and then finish with a releasing somatic movement practice.
These gatherings are by donation and profits will go to a charity organisation that aligns with the purpose to support the healing of our relationship to self, others, and the natural world.
There will be a max of 8 women plus the 2 facilitators at each circle.
Lauren and Jess are not experts and will not be giving advice but allowing for the the group to bring awareness to their current experience with compassion in the hope of allowing healing of their relationships to self, others, and the natural world - however that may look for each person.
The reading/theme for this gathering is the book: Grounded: A Fierce, Feminine Guide to Connecting with the Soil and Healing from the Ground Up by Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow
You can also listen to an interview with Erin here: https://resources.soundstrue.com/podcast/erin-yu-juin-mcmorrow-phd-a-regenerative-conversation-healing-the-soil-healing-ourselves/
“TAKING OUR FOOD SYSTEM BACK IS AN ACT OF REVOLUTION. RESTORING THE FEMININE IS AN ACT OF SACRED RESPONSIBILITY. RETURNING TO THE CYCLES OF NATURE IS AN ACT OF LOVE. GROUNDING INTO THE SOIL IS AN ACT OF HOPE.”
This gathering is at capacity. Please email Lauren to go on the waitlist or keep your eye out for the next one
