WHAT TO EXPECT…
Join the Together We Rise community for a special experience… we will tap into possibility during a progressive journey that will culminate at the very moment we transition from summer to fall. It will be powerful. Here is a general flow describing how we’ll spend our time:
*Nourishing Potluck
We open with an opportunity to nourish ourselves with good food and sisterhood. Together We Rise is an inclusive and diverse group of beautiful women. We will officially begin the facilitated portion of our time together at 4:15.
*Sound Healing + Mindfulness Meditation with Kylie Oliver
Music is healing… it helps us shift into presence and activates peace. Kylie is a sound healer a beautiful soul who shares her heart with her flutes… gentle, deep and hopeful. She’ll help us transition from our busy days, quieting our minds and opening our hearts, with the healing sounds she brings forth through her flutes. We will take time to receive the soothing vibrations, sit in meditation and participate in a journaling opportunity.
*Sister Circle Experience – A Story Web, facilitated by Debbie Stein
The story web is a tradition of the Apache people. It’s used as a poignant method for teaching the children during times they may not have been understanding the values and importance of community. This insightful experience requires all community members to create… demonstrating the value and impact of every single person.
Debbie is a master communicator of and trained in traditional indigenous ways, she will guide us on a journey using the richness of our stories to weave a visible web… one that will enlighten and create a deepened connection with ourselves and each other. The story web she’ll help us create on the Autumnal Equinox is named “A Healing Story”… which is the natural outcome when take time to truly see each other. We’ll have the opportunity to see how deeply we are interconnected, that each person brings great value to our collective experience.
Why a teaching tool for children? Our stories matter! When I tell my story and you share yours we hold space to see each other through our struggles, victories, and adventures. Storytelling is a powerful tool that has been used for creating community used since ancient times with the Druids, Celts, and many indigenous cultures.
During our time together you will see the influential role you have in our community, and this world, by just being you.
*Sound Healing + Silent Candle Lighting
We honor the moments just before, during and after the shift from summer to fall (6:59 pm) by lighting candles for ourselves and our world community. A time of meditation and intention setting.
When we lean into the seasons of life together we find strength, truth, and connection.
This session is mindfully timed to be in full swing at the potent moments we move from one season to the next. This supports a graceful practice of letting go with gratitude while opening to the new. Join us to make new friends, receive support and network with like-minded women.
