SUMMARY:Sunehri Soch ~ What you think you create!
DESCRIPTION:A welcoming space for adult South Asian women to connect\, share their experiences\, and explore their emotional and mental well-being.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Eventhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/sunehri-soch-what-you-think-you-create-tickets-135569821987\n\n\n“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create\, nurture and transform.” – Diane Mariechild \nBut even the full circle needs another circle to connect with and respond on a deep level. \nThat’s exactly what Sunehri Soch is. It is a circle\, a group\, a vibrant friendly community of empowered women from all axes of life\, supporting one another and find the meaning of true joy every day. This online group is open to all women\, however we are focusing on South Asian women who are 45+. \nWomen spend their lives caring for and loving their families. It is finally time to discover the need and the importance of self-care. When we pay attention to our interests and find joy in things we might have forgotten along the way\, we are able to feel so much better about ourselves. We look forward to meeting some amazing women who are looking to bring their talents/experiences and share them with others. \nPlease share this event with your moms and aunts and anybody in need for a group that is beyond the small talk. \nDetails \nVirtual Meet-Up – Sunday Bi-Weekly \nTime: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST \nLanguage: Hindi\, Punjabi\, Urdu & English \nPlease register and a Zoom link will be sent to you. \nJoin Our Facebook Group – SunehriSoch : www.facebook.com/groups/sunehrisoch/
