Learning to Love your Body by Letting go of Body Shame
Body Image Issues, Cultural and Systemic Oppression
Its hard to love our bodies and feel like we are “enough” in a world that is outwardly focused on perfectionism and beauty. Women struggle with body image, shame and embarrassment about how they present themselves to the world. We grow up being judged and prioritized based on our looks, our weight and how we physically fit into the constraints of our male dominated world.

Surviving Spouses Support
Loss or Grief
While grief is a natural part of life, some people find themselves unable to move on from loss and need professional support to heal. People in the community often avoid discussing painful topics, leaving the mourner isolated in grief compounding the suffering. In group therapy, people learn to openly express their emotions with others who share their loss and know what they are going through.
