Still Whole: Honoring Body Change After Surgery

Still Whole is a healing circle for women navigating the emotional impact of body-altering medical procedures.

Whether your experience involved mastectomy, hysterectomy, reconstructive surgery, cancer treatment, medically necessary procedures, or other significant body changes, this space is created to honor the parts of the journey that are often unseen.

Many women receive medical care without space to grieve, process identity shifts, reconnect with their bodies, or be witnessed in community.

This gathering offers a gentle, trauma-informed space for:

grief and loss

body image changes

identity and femininity

anger, relief, fear, or numbness

storytelling and reflection

creativity, ritual, and reconnection

Throughout this thoughtfully curated three-hour experience, you'll be invited to slow down, reflect, create, and connect in a supportive, trauma-informed environment. Participants will be invited into guided reflection, expressive/artistic practices, and shared community witness in a supportive environment.

You do not need to identify as “fully healed” to attend.

You do not need to explain or minimize your experience.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

Whether your surgery was recent or many years ago, and whether you are carrying grief, gratitude, uncertainty, relief, or a mixture of emotions, you are welcome here.
