Common Threads Reflection Circle Thursday October 8th

Thursday October 8th 5-7pm  The Apothecary at Heidi Merrick  2272 Lillie Ave, Summerland, CA 93067 COMMON THREADS: the ecstacy of grief A monthly women's reflection circle with Meredith Markworth-Pollack The common threads that weave us, our stories, imprints, ideas, beliefs, and truths are the foundation of this women's circle where all are welcome to gather in trust and sisterhood, guided by deep listening and intentional sharing. United by the universal cycles of the moon and the astrological significance of the sky, we reunite in ceremony, and in ritual to honor our commonality yet revel in our unique story of individuality - being witnessed by our peers, our community, and by ourselves. Each month will have a unique and relevant theme, this month we're speaking to the ecstacy of grief... how in the throes of grieving we can find joy, bliss and even pleasure. While these emotions aren't usually connected to one another, we are interested in exploring the intersection of pain and ecstacy. This intimate circle is designed as a safe and deeply held space to share and integrate the themes, innovations, challenges and cultural events that are currently shaping our collective wisdom, emotional state, spiritual wellness, and somatic experience. Guided by Meredith Markworth-Pollack, founder of PALMA Colectiva, this circle will meet monthly and weave a new theme and teaching for each offering.  PALMA classes are nonrefundable, however a credit can be issued toward another class if cancelled within 48 hours.
