Women's Circle

• Next workshop: Wisdom Tea Party... TBA
• The Women's Circle is a new avenue for women on a spiritual path to share their passion for getting the most out of life. Organized as a series of events, participants can choose the direction of their greatest interest at their own pace. These events vary from formal workshops to dynamic conversations, sharing perspectives on a range of topics relevant to women being happy, healthy and holy. Our aim is to cultivate more enriching life experiences that are stepping-stones to knowledge, discovery, and action. The Women's Circle is a means to foster connectedness to other like-minded women. As our relationships grow into concentric circles of influence, we expand our opportunities for connecting, sharing and networking. The vision of the Women's Circle is to create a deeper bond to our inner selves, to recognize our innate gifts as women, to enrich all of our relationships and to be more mindfully active in our communities.

  • "I have been attending Cherie's Yin Yoga class for almost two years now, and it is now a lifelong commitment for me. Cherie makes Yoga accessible and meaningful for all students, and is mindful of limitations and issues to eliminate discomfort or injury. My greatest joy is how Cherie complements the training with spiritual insights that are profound. It is no wonder her classes are always over flowing. I have been to other classes and other instructors, but Cherie is the best by far." Joseph Lutz

A full moon meditation takes advantage of the heightened energies abundant at the full moon phase. We will be doing the Healing Ring of the Tantra which can be used to generate & direct tremendous healing energy towards any person. We will finish with a gong meditation that cleanses the aura, the subconscious mind and balances the chakras.
