for Self Identified Women of Color 

Led by Noliwe Alexander

Join us for a day of celebrating the depth of Spiritual Friendships, the Whole of the Holy Life.

Together we’ll explore this potent statement by the Buddha through the lens of our life-long, road buddies, confidants and everyday supports; our friends. While telling our stories, we’ll discover how to walk together on the path to liberation. We’ll speak our truths and unite in sister circles to connect with our divine natures. Seeing what is real for us and how to cultivate loving friendliness, compassion and appreciative joy towards our ourselves and our chosen family.

We will engage in mindful meditation reflections, walking meditation, interactive exercises and circle truth telling ~ this day long will still your minds, open your hearts and have you rejoicing in the glory of “belonging”.

Invite a friend!
