Slow down, feel, come home to your whole self. Facilitated by Judyth Weaver this class sponsored by the Women’s Centre is open to all women and is by donation. These sessions are to allow us the time to feel, to sense, to pay attention to what our organisms/bodies are saying. To listen, to allow and to respond – if we want to.
