Women's Circle: October 17th at 7pm
Women's Circle October 17th Sitting with the Ancestors - A Night of Healing
The season beckons us inward. The days are growing shorter and we can learn a great deal from observing nature's response around us. Nature spirits, animal guides and our loving ancestors are ever present and eager to communicate with those who pause and grow still enough to be able to listen.
On this October night we will gather in ceremony to grow more and more still and heed the season's call to go within. This is a potent season, because in the stillness and darkness - room is then created for spirit to speak. There will be a guided shamanic journeying meditation where each woman has an opportunity to feel into the support around her - including the support of her ancestors. Ancestors love to assist in our lives and often are present to assist with healing. As a community we will hold the intentions of our sisters and collectively allow for a night of healing, messages and peace.
We hope you can join us for this sacred and special time.
Please bring a journal, a pen and an item for the altar that represents your connection to your ancestors. Items for the altar will be returned to you at the end of the evening.
$30, plus tax. Unlimited members, enjoy 10% off!

About the Monthly Women's Circle:
In our monthly women’s circle we intend to create a space to gather, support and celebrate one another as fellow women. There are so many demands upon our lives, and having a soft place to land in a circle of support is essential. We recognize the growing call for women to step into their power, take full responsibility for their lives, and move forward into the work each one of us deep down knows we are meant to do in this lifetime. The more women are given opportunities to be in the flow of giving their gifts while at the same time receiving the support they need as they do so, the more our families, communities and world benefit.
This women’s gathering is a wonderful and inclusive place to make meaningful connections with women of all ages. Each person who comes contributes to the uniqueness of the circle, therefore YOU are an essential part!
$30, plus tax. 20% discount for Unlimited Members.

PLEASE NOTE: We may use Smudge to clear the room and in ceremony. Smudging with palo santo, sage, or incense has been practiced for centuries across cultures as a way to clear energy, enhance well-being, and create a sense of ritual.
Benefits of smudging include:
*Letting go & renewal: The rising smoke symbolizes releasing what no longer serves you.
*Creating sacred space: Smudging marks transitions (before/after meditation, classes, or events).
*Community & connection: Used in group circles to set shared intentions and harmony.

Sound Bath! Sunday, 10/26 at 7pm
Join us for an evening of peace using sound therapy as we rest with Sue Cote at Zen & Now!
Sound Healing is an ancient modality used across cultures and time for its transformative ability to create balance and harmony within our mind, body, and spirit. It is a mergence where science and spirit come to meet through the intelligence of your body. There is nothing you have to do, simply by listening and being in the presence of vibrational instruments being played, your body begins to shift and realign itself at a cellular level, supporting your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and wellbeing.
Rest comfortably while a variety of crystal bowls, Himalayan bowls, chimes, tingshaws, and a gong will be used to deepen the meditative state of each participant. Each instrument creates a different frequency that vibrates in the body and helps guide individuals to a meditative and restorative state.
The vibrations wash through you and around you, creating a concert of unique sounds that are heard and vibrations that are felt.
More about Sue:
Sue is a Certified Vibrational Therapy Practitioner. Her career as a Rehabilitation Therapist led to her passion for Vibrational/Sound Therapy. During her 34 years of State service she began using this integrative medicine modality on her psychiatric patients. The impact was incredible! After retiring, she pursued further certification and began community sound baths as well as individual vibrational/sound therapy for Menla Holistic Health.
Sue loves introducing this modality to those who never experienced it and seeing the shifts that occur within each individual. She is super excited to work with Zen and Now, especially offering beachfront sessions since she is a beach lover herself!
