Women's Wisdom
We are now accepting applications for Women’s Wisdom, co-facilitated by Heidi Neilsen and Andrea Sentesy. Join six transformative groups, starting September 7-October 12 from 9:30am-2:30pm. Applications are available at the Women's Centre, or can be emailed by request. We look forward to another wonderful circle of women to join and connect.
This program is in memory of Aidan Oloman, made possible by the Oloman family.
Squamish Red Thread Women's Circle
“A Red Thread Circle begins with the passing of a physical ball of red thread that is wrapped around each woman's wrist to represent our deep interconnection, and the red in our blood that is traceable all the way back to ancient stars that were the beginning of all creation. From this place of sacred recognition, we move into inquiry and sharing. Each woman present is able to speak her truth, while the other women bear witness and receive the inspiration and beauty that resonates.”
This beautiful offering is led by our own Amber Gould. She will be facilitating bi-weekly Red Thread Women's Wisdom Circles. The next circle will be held on August 13 at Rose Park (38550 Loggers Lane) at 6:30 pm. Click here for more information.
