Life can take unexpected turns—but having a plan can bring comfort, clarity, and confidence. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to prepare for the “what-ifs” of life, such as sudden illness or injury, so you and your loved ones can focus on what matters most: each other.

You’ll learn how thoughtful care planning isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about honoring your values, supporting emotional and spiritual needs, and staying connected through whatever comes next.

Together, we’ll walk through practical tools that help you create a care plan that reflects who you are and what matters to you. Whether you're planning ahead for yourself or a loved one, this session is designed to leave you feeling informed, empowered, and more at peace.

If you’re craving some real-time connection and encouragement. Lelia Gowland is hosting another event in her Get Sh*t Done  Day series.

Bring your tedious tasks, big challenging projects, or items you just can’t seem to get off your to-do list. Think of it like a grown-up study date.

At the event, we’ll first visit and share what we’ll be working on independently. Lelia will offer strategic support and guidance. Then, we’ll have two work blocks to GSD (get sh*t done). We’ll take a break in the middle to stretch, visit, and reset. At the end, we’ll celebrate what we’ve accomplished. 

Imagine how good you’ll feel when you get it done!

Join us for an inspiring community event focused on the spiritual aspects of living a good life, in the midst of so much uncertainty. During this talk, we’ll explore the limitless possibilities that unfold when we connect to a higher consciousness and align with our true essence. You’ll be guided through a discussion on how this connection can transform your experience of life, deepening your sense of purpose and daily joy.

The session will flow into a meditation to calm your mind, help you to feel  inner peace, and experience heightened awareness. We’ll conclude by exploring practical ways to integrate the insights gained from the meditation into your daily life, so you can continue to live with intention and a lighter heart. 

This event is open to all who wish to enhance their spiritual practice and live more consciously.

Join us for our second Women's Wellness Book Club meeting on June 3 at Salon 22! This month, we're discussing "The Four Agreements," in which author Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

Come ready to share your thoughts and connect with other women passionate about wellness. We'd also love to hear about your favorite wellness reads for future meetings!
