Sanctuary Without Walls with Katherine Hauk
Women's Gatherings, Circles of Care
Are you seeking sanctuary in these chaotic times? A place to find rest and connection with other women and with the Earth? Do you live in Columbia County, NY, or nearby? Join us for one of our Circles.
'Creating Together' Bring whatever creative project you are working on, or come to dream up something new. Creating with our hands can be comforting and enlivening during anxious times. And creating together can light up our imaginations. Making can be a spiritual practice.
Spirit of the Wild Circle, Are you ready to take a deeper look at your kinship with the beings and outdoor places to which we belong? Please join me for this Earth-centered exploration of our spirituality. This event welcomes women from all religious and spiritual traditions, or none.
ElderCircle, This gathering for Elders, women 70 years and over, is a safe and supportive place to share our hard-earned wisdom. We will share our grief, our joys, our strategies for living in these later years of our lives, including how to respond in creative, healing, regenerative ways to these turbulent times, personally and socially. The world needs our wisdom.
There is no charge to attend circles. Gifts are gratefully accepted but not necessary.
