Join us IN PERSON on Friday January 27th, 2022 8:30am at BrainStation (460 King st W) for the theme of Sanctuary
January’s Theme is Sanctuary.
Life can feel heavy at times. With the weight of the world - work, family, inflation, global conflicts, horrific headlines - weighing on our shoulders, we all need to take a break. Ease your pounding headaches and heartaches, and know that this community has your back.
This month’s theme is a beacon towards safety - a sanctuary to offload the burdens that rain on your conscience. Find protection during vulnerability. Strength and support when a little encouragement is needed.
Here is the place where we can finally lay our heads down, rest, and find peace together.
Our Sheffield chapter chose this month’s exploration of Sanctuary, Lisa Maltby illustrated the theme, and Mailchimp is presenting the theme.
We are back and in-person!
