What to expect:
We are not going to talk at you or give a formal presentation. A Sister Talk is merely carving out a sacred space where we can all come together and explore all of the ways we can grow and thrive as women; where being a woman is supported, revered and celebrated.
It’s the book club where you don’t have to read the book. Just show up and talk. Or just listen. Stay for a bit or for the entire duration (from 7pm-8pm). The goal is to have you leave feeling empowered and energized and the end of each gathering.

October Session

Date: Wednesday, Oct. 21 @ 7 PM EST (via zoom)
Topic: Cultivating Loving Kindness in Divisive Times... A Meditation and Discussion How do we find compassion in the middle of uncertainty, divisiveness, ill will or fear? We are going to explore this topic together.
We honestly cannot remember a time so divisive. We see it not only in news and politics but witness it in and around our communities. There is an “us” and “them” mentality with so much focus on the negative. There is a pervasive expectation of people to do or say the wrong thing and an immediate line of critics complaining. It seems to be everywhere. Feeling compelled to address this topic, we kick off this Sister Talk with a Loving Kindness Meditation and then exchange ideas on how we can help change things. |

In this Sister Talk, we are going to discuss how we can:
be less judgey/more accepting
listen without having a counterpoint
remember we are one and we are flawed and human. Still worthy of love and kindness!

Look, it's up to us. Change begins at the cellular level. If we can change our own perceptions, build up compassion for ourselves and others, we can influence those around us, and so on.
Together our intentions and efforts are magnified. We can make a difference. We hope to see you there.
