SUMMARY:Women at the Well: What's Love Got to Do with It? Rewriting our Stories Through the Lens of Love (In-Person Program)
DESCRIPTION:Many claim it is impossible to love others without loving ourselves. When we look at essential aspects of wholeness\, we find that caring for ourselves helps us better recognize the unshakable goodness in everyone and to love with fierce tenderness. Join us for a six-part series exploring themes of living in community\, self-compassion\, facing fear with love\, self-forgiveness\, setting healthy boundaries\, and whole-hearted living. \nDrawing from the wisdom of Gregory Boyle’s book\, Cherished Belonging\, Brené Brown’s book\, The Gifts of Imperfection\, and John O’Donohue’s book\, Anam Cara\, we will seek to rewrite our stories through the lens of love. There is no need to purchase or read these books to participate in the program. \nWomen at the Well is a spiritual companioning program open to all women seeking space to listen for\, become more aware of\, and respond to the Divine in their daily lives. This small group program includes time for reflection and sacred conversation in the community of other women on the journey. \nTwo sessions of this program will be offered – one In-Person at the Well and one Online. This registration is for the In-Person session. \nDATE: Wednesdays – 9/23\, 9/30\, 10/7\, 10/14\, 10/21\, and 10/28/26 \nTIME: 10:00 – 11:30 AM \nCOST: $135 \nLOCATION: Well for the Journey – 120 W.
