DIVORCE AS A CATALYST Divorce has been described as a legal process with an emotional component, but anyone going through it knows it's an emotional process with a legal component. Divorce, separation, and breakups have been described as one of the most stressful life experiences, however, it is also one of the most fertile times for personal growth. We will have a variety of activities including gatherings, teleseminars, workshops, and resource sessions to help you navigate all aspects of this …

I started this group to provide a safe place to explore the challenges of relationship, separation and divorce. Navigating the waters of relationship, separation and/or divorce can be challenging. Most of us struggle in our primary relationships and marriages. Often, our lover, partner, or spouse does not always show up to be our best friend, but instead disappoints us frequently. Rather than feeling grateful for precious opportunities to grow and transform, we typically end up in the middle o …

The techniques I will show you during these meet ups are simple to learn. They helped me personally through my own divorce and self-discovery, where expensive talk therapy didn’t lead anywhere. This group is not going to satisfy those who wish to remain in their victimhood.

This group is for women going through divorce. We support each other in moving beyond divorce with increased confidence, choice, and connection.

All are Welcome.

Are you ready to find a new normal? There are critical times in life when everything you knew up until one defining moment changes everything. We can plan for our futures, but are we ever really prepared for devastating life path 'detours?'  They make you question who you are now, what did your choices mean, what are you going to do with your future, and how are you going to do it? A new door starts to open, requiring a creation of a new normal. Loss forces us to begin life anew which can be ov …

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …

Intimate relationships are one of the greatest and most profound sources of personal and spiritual growth, however many of us have forgotten the real meaning of relationships. In ancient days men and women came together to honor the Divine within themselves and within each other. Relationships weren’t based in dependency, obligation, sacrifice or selfishness, but were rather a means for personal and spiritual development. They were a means of connecting to the Sacred feminine and masculine withi …
