This is a monthly, community grief support circle, facilitated by End-of-Life Doula, Melissa Chanselle-Hary, with Sacred Transits. It's the third Tuesday of every month, 6-8pm. This is a safe and open space for anyone grieving the death of a loved one, a loss of a job, a relationship, an identity, a phase of life, or any kind of grief one is experiencing. We examine anticipatory, collective, masked, disenfranchised, and other types of grief as a means to expand our skills and relationship to loss. We share resources and practices for sitting with difficult feelings. This is a place to be present with feelings that don't have space elsewhere. Many people say they feel less alone and more resourced after attending.
It's a $10 minimum suggested donation. Register here and send a Venmo payment to Melissa at @sacredtransits or Zelle soujourn@sacredtransits.com.
Wisdom is not found in a manual...
It is found in the shared stories of those walking the path.
**This offering is by donation, and space is limited. Please register under “Enroll”
Facilitated by Wholistic Wellness Center owner, Michelle Renee Ventura. Our special guest for May...Dr. Yuni Gardner!
Perimenopause, menopause, and the post-menopausal years are often framed as a “closing,” but in our circle, we recognize them as a powerful transition into a new season of life. Wise Women Ways is a community-led space designed to break the silence surrounding these changes and replace isolation with connection.
Whether you are navigating the first subtle shifts of perimenopause, in the heat of the transition, or settling into the clarity of your post-menopausal years, you belong here. We gather to share:
-
Lived Experience: Real conversations about the physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts we encounter.
-
Collective Wisdom: Exchanging tools, rituals, and perspectives to navigate the “pause” with presence.
-
Soulful Support: A soft place to land where your experiences are validated and heard without judgment.
How We Gather
This is a community offering by donation, faciliated by Michelle Renee and a guest speaker each month. We believe that support should be accessible to every woman, regardless of her circumstances. Your presence is the greatest gift you bring to the circle.
We do have limited space, so please register. We look forward to connecting!
“There is no greater power than a community of women who have decided to trust their own evolution.”
Are you feeling the weight of a busy season? Join us for an afternoon dedicated entirely to you. Facilitated by Michelle Renee Ventura and Sheri Welsh.
In the heart of Reno, we are creating a sacred space to help you step out of “survival mode” and back into your body. This four-hour immersion is designed to help you regulate your nervous system, find heart coherence, and walk away with practical, somatic tools to navigate stress and anxiety in your daily life.
From a heart-opening cacao ceremony to the deep release of Yin Yoga and the soothing vibrations of sound healing, this retreat is your invitation to pause, breathe, and remember your inner sanctuary.
What We’ll Explore Together:
- Nervous System Regulation: Learn the “why” and “how” of
befriending your Vagus nerve to find instant calm.
- Cacao Ceremony: A gentle ritual to open the heart and set
intentions.
- Yin Yoga & Somatic Awareness: A slow, grounding practice to
release physical and emotional constriction.
- Sound Healing: A deep-tissue rest for the mind through immersive
sound.
- Daily Rituals: Guidance on how to implement these grounding tools
into your everyday life.
