Hi y’all!

For the last five months I have had the pleasure and honor of putting together and editing the monthly wellness newsletter for Ladies of the Light where we share the energy of the month and provide information on different wellness tips, tools, resources, and events within our healing circle, and those at the New Wellness Center and around town, and more…so much more as we expand and further our reach! We would love to invite you to read our newsletter and come build community with us all.

Check out the link and join a diverse community of healers, wellness practitioners, and those seeking access to holistic resources and tools. Women and Men, all ages and faiths, are welcome:

✨If you’re a wellness practitioner, let’s connect!
✨If you’re seeking services and community, you’re not alone and we welcome you!

This month, we kicked off Men’s Health Awareness and Native American & Indigenous People’s Month by spotlighting one of our male practitioners and the work we all provide for the men in our community, as well as highlighting indigenous and aboriginal practices and offerings.

Hope to see you on the platform!

Be well and for the fellas out there, please schedule a check up, hit the gym, go to a yoga or mindfulness class, and have that prostate checked…YOUR HEALTH MATTERS!!!💜

New Wellness Center’s Silent Soul Retreat & Autumn Equinox gathering yesterday was EVERYTHING!!!
🍁🍂🪷🍃🪴💐

So looking forward to these seasonal collective retreats with all of our practitioners…Jenelle Woodlief we missed your presence yet know you were with us in spirit, love!💕

I love how we show up to provide wellness and healing offerings for others and are left feeling sooo filled up in the end—a bit exhausted yet filled up and refueled, nevertheless! This isn’t just work, it’s LIFE!

So good! And look at us…I FINALLY got a decent pic with my girl Divinely Sah’Rah of Ladies of the Light always showing up so bright!!! I love working with this woman right here, always!!!✨💫

Thank you Graciela Teofield for kicking things off and leading the way, and Miranda Lattimore I’m still in awe over that eye-catching/mesmerizing meditation!!!🔥

If you haven’t visited the New Wellness Center, what are you waiting for?! All of our 5 practitioners offer 1-1 services/coaching/consulting & small to large group offerings; get with us when you’re ready!😘

Restoring the Heart: Sacred Grief Circle…holding space for communal mourning and collective healing!

“You have a beautiful way of expressing and speaking about death…you just get it.”—a guest from yesterday.

Happy Fall everyone!!! Enjoy the soon-to-be turning of the leaves as they begin to glow to their heightened visual frequencies in shades of red, orange, yellow, and nearly gold before their final fall, leaving branches bare as the winter’s chill begins to blow in toward the end of the new season. With every death there is a rebirth and Fall is a wonderful time to slow things down, reflect inward and enjoy the cozy calm.

Be well everyone!💜🙏🏽🥰

1st Wednesday’s Sacred Grief Circle…

Last night was a beautiful outpouring as we held space for one another and leaned into communal mourning, honoring the passing of loved ones, lost relationships, and even loss of Self.

“Grief occurs at every stage throughout a life worth living, our job is to learn how to dance with the ebb and flow of it all!”

Everyone who was meant to be there, was there. A friend couldn’t make it at the last minute and was still present within the circle as her place was set and the intuitive card pull, that was set in front of the seat that would have been hers, was right on point and in perfect alignment specifically for her…I just had to share with her after everyone else had left, and I look forward to holding space for her next month!💜

COLLECTIVE HEALING…

Creating intimate healing spaces to process the hard mess of life is a special gift and a treat that creates an equitable flow of energy as we lean on and learn from one another. This work is an absolute honor.

Every 1st Wednesday I’ll be at the New Wellness Center holding space for Sacred Grief. Register for the next one on Aug. 7th:

Sacred Grief Circle: 1st Wednesday each month

The wRITE to Heal Project welcomes individuals with similar-lived experiences into a compassionate and healing environment to find solace in collective mourning.

Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or processing the reality of your own approaching transition, this safe communal space invites you to put voice to your truth, sharing your emotions however they may show up, free of judgement while processing and gaining understanding.

Monthly Sacred Grief Circle is facilitated by a trauma-informed End-of-Life Doula and Founder of the wRITE to Heal Project. Nneka encourages guests to lean into the vulnerability of their emotions throughout their grief journey. Through storytelling and various mindfulness practices, she leads and holds space with authenticity and an empathetic heart.

For those local to the Portland, OR area, please find the registration page on Eventbrite by clicking the link below. For those not local, please know that virtual Sacred Grief Circles will be available in the near future.
