Where in the OM Am I Women's Circle
Join bestselling author Sara DiVello for this very special Women's Circle combining her nationally taught Where in the OM Am I Workshop (which WELL Summit veteran attendees may have taken) and her new Chakra and Meditation Women's Circle. Attendees will gather in open-hearted community, beginning with a guided meditation to ground them, reflect on where in the OM they are in their lives, how they're progressing toward their goals, what makes them happy, where they're getting stuck, and then share this with another attendee. Sara will then explain how the chakra system, an ancient eastern energy system, can be used to release blockages and get unstuck fast, which we then practice together. Come with an open heart, an open mind, a willingness to connect and be ready to leave feeling shifts and empowered.
