We are welcoming of all belief systems and backgrounds. This is a brave community of women who endeavor to practice genuine & compassionate relationship with themselves and others.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING: 

• Bring a yoga mat or pillow to sit on. We have chairs but often people will get comfy on the floor. Be ready for stretching and meditative exercises!
  
  
• Bring a Notebook and Pen
  
  
• Bring either feminine hygiene products for the domestic violence shelter
  OR a snack to share
  OR $20 suggested donation to pay for your ticket. 
  

  Though the online price is $0, PLEASE REGISTER FOR YOUR TICKET

When I first moved to MN 15 years ago I had NO FRIENDS here. As I raised my kids, built businesses, ran for city council (and won) I have learned so much about creating meaningful connections. 

I've come to see that my very favorite thing that I do - no matter what - in every experience I ever participate in - is to help people connect with themselves and eachother.  I do this through the photography experiences I create, identity coaching for peope and businesses, as well as these Women's Empowerment Circle community gatherings I hold in my studio

Due to the mature content of certain discussions, we kindly advise against attendance for individuals under the age of 18. However, nursing mothers with their babies are more than welcome to join us in this empowering experience.

We are dedicated to fostering connections, personal growth, and empowerment for women of all ages and backgrounds. 

There are 3 ways to pay for your ticket and support this growing community.
Please pick one!

1. Bring tampons/pads to donate to Home Free. This is a local emergency shelter for women and children seeking safety from a domestic violence situation. Moreover, every time you bring a donation, Thrivent New Hope Group will match your donation by giving money toward our events. 

2. Bring a snack to share!  Fruit and veggies, cheese & crackers, chip & dip, etc. We will have plates, forks and cups and napkins available. Often people haven't eaten dinner before coming and our event goes until 9, so this is a nice way for people to  contribute to the group in a helpful way.

3. $20 at the door suggested donation.


Regardless how you choose to pay, PLEASE REGISTER FOR YOUR TICKET BEFORE THE EVENT so we have an idea how many people are coming.
