<p><br />This workshop is open to all women, and will be focused upon fostering a sense of community and openness with your fellow women, as well as deepening your sense of connection to your own feminine essence. For many reasons, society today makes it easy for women to fall into the trap of comparison and competition, and it is necessary to create intentional time and space to combat these tendencies, by connecting with others and unpacking the true meaning of what it is to be a woman (spoiler alert: it has NOTHING to do with your physical appearance, or acting "lady-like"). </p>
<p>Join Laura Tesoriero, LCSW and Self-Love & Relationship Coach for this powerful group experience. First we will enjoy a ceremony of sacred cacao, a plant medicine that has been used by ancient civilizations to enhance connections among communities, as well as our connections with the earth and the spirit realm. The plant is known to open the heart center, and is regarded as having a feminine energy that supports fertility and new life. We will then engage in journaling exercises and a group discussion centered around the themes of femininity in your life and in society at large. From there, we will move forward into a drumming exercise to move through and release heavy emotions, and to connect with the wild feminine element which is unbound by the chains of expectation or patriarchal beliefs. </p>
<p>This workshop is perfect for any woman who is feeling a pull to go inward and learn about herself, connect with like minded women, heal the wounds of the feminine that she may be contending with, or simply bask in the powerful energy that is created when women join together in love and support. </p>
<p>Bring a journal and a pen, and feel free to bring your own drum if you have one! (Percussion instruments will be provided to anyone who does not have one). </p>
