All-day, low-cost Healing Together event includes felting, yoga, nature journaling and tips on protecting yourself.
BROOKSVILLE — Finding Our Voices is providing the opportunity for women domestic abuse survivors to learn and hone skills with others who have been there and understand with an all-day Healing Together retreat Saturday July 11 in Brooksville.
Liz Cutler, artist/founder of ArtWaves, will provide a felting workshop, Lisa Nakamura of SETPoint will instruct on setting personal boundaries, protecting yourself and knowing your worth, and Yael Calhoun will lead Yoga for You movement and breathing exercises. A nature journaling workshop, the chance to hike and swim and a potluck lunch will round out a day of communal healing and sister solidarity for Maine women domestic abuse survivors.
The three instructors and also the owner of the gorgeous retreat space in Brooksville are donating their services, allowing Finding Our Voices to remove financial barriers to participation with a fee of $25 for the all-day event. Space is limited so early registration is encouraged.
