Women's Circle: Trauma & Recovery - An Introduction with special guest Dakota Draconi MSW
-Trauma can happen as a result of experiencing stressful, frightening, or distressing events that are difficult to cope with and/or out of our control.
-The consequences of trauma can be mild to severe, and they are often experienced emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically whether one remembers the details of the trauma or not. And, in fact, remembering the trauma is not required for recovery from the trauma! When we are equipped with an understanding of the natures of trauma and recovery, effective healing tools, and an adequate support system... recovery is possible for anyone who is willing to put in the work for it.
-Please join us, as we discuss the basics of trauma and recovery, and lay a solid foundation for a deeper discussion at a later date.

-Women's Circle Mission Statement:
We are a sacred community of women, united in our commitment to support, empower, and nurture one another on our personal journeys of growth, healing, and transformation. Our circle is a sanctuary—a safe, welcoming space where women can gather to share their thoughts, feelings, experiences, challenges, and triumphs without judgment.
Through our sisterhood, we offer deep listening and heartfelt connection, creating a nurturing environment where each woman can explore her truth and be seen, heard, and valued. We hold space for personal and collective healing, embracing each woman's unique path and honoring the wisdom she carries.
Together, we uplift and inspire each other as we walk the path of "soul work," encouraging authenticity, self-discovery, and self-love. As a sacred cheering squad, we stand in full support of one another’s illumination, personal growth, and well-being, fostering a community rooted in compassion, empowerment, and spiritual connection.
We believe in the power of sisterhood, where women rise together—strengthened by shared vulnerability, wisdom, and love—transforming ourselves and the world around us.
-COVID-19, RSV, Flu Precautions: If you have fever, cough, aches, please consider staying home to rest. There will always be more opportunities. You may choose to wear a mask, we have several here for you to share.
-Children: We ask that you do not bring children to circle. At times, the nature of our discussions are very personal, graphic and are adult in nature. Occasionally, women experience deep emotional, psychological and physiological release. It is our quest to provide a safe space for spiritual healing and transformation.
