This after school group provides a space to process\, de-compress\, explore\, and connect with what ever is coming up for each group member. In addition\, getting to honor the unique needs of each season and what we can learn from mother earth’s cyclical nature. \nParticipants will also learn about our need for oxytocin\, the hormone that helps regulates estrogen and our menstrual cycles.

This will allow them to practice expressing their emotions in a full and healthy way\, allowing them to live an empowered life that doesn’t result in making themselves small. \nI have 2 spots available in this group.
