Connect with Your Community
As part of our continuing focus to connect and empower those within the Lyme Disease community, we host a monthly Empowerment Circle that takes place via Zoom. Unlike traditional webinars, this is an interactive support group. This monthly event begins with a guided meditation or somatic exercise. Afterward, we discuss the month’s focus questions. Our hope is that you come away feeling supported, heard, and inspired on your healing journey.
We believe the more informed, inspired, and connected we are, the better we feel—and, as a result, the stronger our families, schools, businesses, and communities become.
WHEN: Every third Tuesday of the month.
6 pm–7:30 pm PST
WHERE: A private link to a Zoom room will be sent to your email address so you can sign in.
