This month we have a beautiful and healing workshop just in time for women’s history month led by Dr. Paulette Richards. You have time to RSVP your seat before we release tickets to the public. As always, the workshop is free and the supplies are included. We hope to see you on March 15th at 2pm!

About the Workshop:  Finding the courage and the confidence to speak the truth of their experience is one of the greatest challenges women must overcome on the path to leadership. Throughout history and across societies all over the world, puppets have enabled people to find a voice and speak truth to power. This workshop uses puppetry to expand participants leadership potential. The workshop will include breathwork and relaxation techniques, a community building activity, discussion of women’s history and a puppet workshop.
