🌞 Coffee, Conversations & Community Connection 🌿

This past Saturday, the Women’s Center for Healing & Transformation hosted a powerful “Gathering Grounds” event at Roots Plants & Coffee in Old Town Slidell—and it was nothing short of soul-stirring! We had about 10 Women show up and fellowshipped with Women who were just coming to get coffee!✨

We gathered in sisterhood, laughter, and truth. We shared stories, sipped coffee or tea, and talked about what matters most was the healing, growth, and being seen. From wellness and mental health to caregiving and women's health topics, we heard your voices and we are listening. 💬💕

👥 Many found us through friends and this very newsletter. You showed up ready to connect, contribute, and co-create.

💡 Your ideas for future gatherings? Incredible.
🕰️ Your favorite meeting time? Saturday mornings.
📍Your venue suggestions? Noted and exciting!

And when we asked what made you feel welcome? One of you said simply, “Feeling welcomed at the meeting.” That’s the energy we will continue to lead with. 💫

✨ What's Next?
We’re already planning our next women-centered events, and we’re looking for:

Women’s health workshop facilitators
New community partners & cozy venues
Volunteers who want to make a difference

📬 Be sure to stay subscribed to our newsletter, and if you're ready to join the movement, email us at info@womenscenterforhealing.org.

This summer, we’re blooming together. 🌻
