All lesbians welcome!

Social media has taken up a huge amount of mental real estate for many of us since covid-19 emerged. That makes sense! We have all been stretching to connect to each other in the safest way we know how. 

Are we making the kind of human connections we need emotionally right now?

When we gather, we come to find that we might be having some similar experiences. There is growth, comfort, and peace that comes from the knowledge that we are not alone.

Join enthusiastic, successful NYU certified coach, Anandah Carter, to plug back into yourself and what really matters to you right now in your life. Anandah offers a positive, safe, confidential environment for you to speak your truth. 

The hour gathering will begin with 10 minutes of guided meditation. The meditation will be followed by Anandah facilitating an open forum for attendees to share, if you are comfortable, on topics ranging from grief, parenting, relationships, and more. Each attendee will have equal time to share. There is incredible value in listening if you are not yet comfortable with sharing. Anandah will be available to answer any questions attendees might have. We will each learn from listening to each other and sharing. The hour will conclude with 10 minutes of socializing. The format is subject to change based on the group's needs.
