Are you a woman over 40 who never had kids?

2009-12-14T10:30:00.000-08:00

The next 7-week group starts April 15 and will run for 7 Monday nights from 6:15-8:45pm. Participation is limited to 6 women.

Come join a community of women in a 7 week exploration group. The purpose of this group is to support women to explore what it means to not follow the path usually chosen by women in this society. While grief can be a part of this journey, the freedom we have, and what we chose to do with that freedom, is a major characteristic of this group.

“Thanks once again for creating a nurturing environment for our support group. I received so much insight and awareness from the sharing, and I especially enjoyed the exercises and rituals. You are fabulous at creating room for exploration and possibility within a safe, structured environment.”

“I would recommend Jane’s group to every woman. She brings up very deep issues that are worth looking at and sharing in a supportive group. I felt very safe in this group because of the skill Jane brought to it. I would even take this class again.”

The 7 weeks cover:
• Who am I as a woman who never had kids?
• How is my life impacted by not having kids?
• Lost & found: Dreams, roles & relationships
• Body image and menopause
• How do I care for myself when I become an elder?
• Do I need to grieve?
• What will I leave this world?

“Jane is warm, brave, insightful and funny—a great combination for a deep, meaningful conversation for you or women you know.” Sheila Bixler, M.A., C.Ht, Counselor, Hypnotherapist, Bach Flower Essences practitioner

“I thoroughly enjoyed (the group) and feel that the effects are ushering me into the next phase of growth in my life.”

"This powerful group is helping me to hold a healthy and positive vision of myself in later years, replacing the fear-based one I've carried for so long. Wow! Thank you!"

December 8th is the 1st drop-in Group

2009-11-30T09:41:00.000-08:00

A Monthly Drop-In Group for Women Over 40 Who Never Had Kids

The first group will be about Mothers. December seems to be the perfect month to consciously look at a relationship that profoundly influences us. Some of the questions we will consider are:

* How were you mothered?

* How did your relationship with your mother affect your decision about having children?

* How do you mother yourself?

The next group meets Tuesday December 8th from 6:00-8:00pm.

This group is open to women who have participated in previous groups, as well as women who are interested in gathering with women who understand what it means to never have had children.
