Stepping Into Your Divine Power: 12- Week Women's Empowerment Circle
This fall, you are invited to gather in a 12-week circle series where we will be embodying self love, healing, and wholeness. In this pathway of empowerment, we will intentionally slow down in ritual to harness our passions, to take up space, and let go of scarcity and limiting beliefs. Through an empowering supportive sisterhood community and intimate weekly gathering, we will let go of perfectionism and reclaim our wholeness. This will be an opportunity to remember your innate wisdom as a woman.
We will also explore establishing boundaries, birthing your vision, and tapping into your warrior spirit for purpose.
Emma Parada is a Xicana dedicated to women's healing and empowerment. She creates a safe space for women to reclaim their own self love and guerrera spirit for self care. Emma holds women circles and workshops through ceremony and ritual. She is a 200 hr- yoga teacher, meditation guide, and reiki practitioner. As a wife and devoted mama of two she believes in the power of healing 7 generations before us and 7 generations after. Learn more @emma_parada
