Attendees will not only learn about endometriosis, but will also leave feeling empowered.

This workshop includes a sound healing and art wellness component.

Through special guidance techniques, you'll learn how to use art to channel your emotions, relax your thoughts, and connect to yourself and your community for stronger mental health.

*Endometriosis (also known as endo) is a chronic debilitating disease which affects one in 10 individuals assigned female at birth. It occurs when tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus (but not identical), forms outside the uterus forming nodules, lesions, and adhesions on various organs including the bowels, urinary system, lungs, etc. Currently, there is no definitive cause nor cure. It takes an average of seven to 10 years for endometriosis to be diagnosed. Endometriosis affects patients’ daily lives due to common symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, possible infertility, cyclic leg pain, excessive ovulation pain and menstrual pain, chronic fatigue and more.

Workshop Facilitators: Tami Ellis & Leah Haynes, Endometriosis Events charity co-founders
