Women Healing Women, Healing Earth
We are excited to announce a new initiative for 2021! Women Healing Women Healing Earth in person, small group workshops. Preregistration required (see below). Half the spots in each reserved for low/moderate income women who live in the North Quabbin region who want to enhance wellbeing, learn skills that promote resilience and happiness, and who would benefit from time with a supportive, diverse group of women in a relaxing outdoor setting. Women in neighboring communities and counties are welcome to reach out!
We are committed to creating program groups that are diverse in regards to culture and race, age, and life experience. Offered free of charge to low/moderate income women. Donations always welcome and never required.
Supporters of this program include The Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts and generous donors. We are pleased to offer these for free to low-moderate income women. Donations to Seeds of Solidarity Ed Center are always welcome and keep the work of our non-profit alive and well.
Enjoy a video featuring the Women Healing Women team, as well as these ideas for self/land/community care inspired by their stories. Here is a photo collage of the Women Healing Women Healing Earth team.
Pre-registration is required and space is limited.
To sign up for a workshop, contact deb@seedsofsolidarity.org ASAP with your name and town, and first and second choice of the workshops listed below. We will reply to let you know if space is still available.
