If you purchased an add on, this will take place here. All other women can settle in for a snack, get lost in conversations, dip your toes in cool water, journal, and breath in the forest air. Women are free to walk back early if they need to, or stay later. I will lead everyone back to the parking lot at 4:30pm.
There is a calling, and a need for community.
The desire to connect to the community was aching in my bones all along. And as I find ways to weave community back into society, I find more and more forgotten pieces of myself.
