One Women Reaching Out Vision for 2023 is to start a Women’s Healing Circle.

The purpose of a women’s healing circle is to provide women with a safe space for them to come
together and use their voices to help one another heal. These participants can support each
other on their journey toward wellness by helping to identify mental and emotional balance in
their lives.

How a Women’s Healing Circle can promote Wellness and Inner Peace

❖ It provides the participants with a sense of community rather than feeling isolated and alone.
❖ Not have to compete with one another because of being in a safe and secure environment
where the members feel empowered, loved, and respected by others.
❖ Willingness to want to share and seek out the support of others who will understand what
you’re going through because as women we learn best from the experiences of others who
have walked similar paths as we have.
❖ Learn how to treat one another with respect instead of hating one another. Also providing
them with tools that can enrich one another’s life and impact future generations as well.

We had our first Women’s Healing Circle on 1- 21- 23 at the Martindale Brightwood Library,
and we had between 28-30 women in attendance. The title was Moving Beyond the Mask. I
was ecstatic to see the number of women who were in attendance for the meeting. It had been
two years since we had done an event because of me dealing with some health challenges
that had caused me to lose sight of my vision. Some of the women came because they
attended previous events and others came because they saw the flyer on Facebook and were
invited by someone to attend. We have completed surveys from several individuals that
attended.

The name of Our Healing Circle is MOVE.
M—Mighty ; O—Open-minded ; V—Victorious ; E—Evolving
