Would a deep discussion on the energy shifts and spiritual aspects of living be supportive and uplifting?

YOU are invited to join a small online group meeting twice a month beginning in July to connect and support each other on our awakening journey. Numerous requests have come to me over the past couple months from clients, students, friends and colleagues to facilitate sharing and learning among a small group of like-minded like-hearted people committed to living mindfully and in their power. I am delighted to be facilitating and coaching during our gatherings.
