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 event\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 \nMonthly Virtual Meet-Up – SUNDAY \nTime: 2:00 PM – 4:00 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/ \nMeet your facilitator: \n \nHello\, I am Rimple Sembhi and I live in Brampton\, Ontario. I am a warm\, friendly person who is always looking to put a smile on faces. As I started my journey of self-discovery almost a decade ago\, I never knew where I would be heading. Like most people\, my journey started while looking to break free from the dark clouds that used to show up quite frequently. While looking to find answers for many life questions and finding solutions to the challenges\, I started my journey exploring the Universe. The more I opened up to the Universe\, the more it started opening up to me and answers started pouring in through books\, videos\, podcasts etc. As I continue my journey discovering many secrets of this Universe\, my heart fills with gratitude for the peace\, love and light I am showered upon. \n

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/

SUMMARY:Daughter-in-laws Anonymous
DESCRIPTION:Join SOCH and Parmjit Rathaur\, a Registered Psychotherapist\, in an open discussion about navigating family relationships with in-laws.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThis workshop is meant for South Asian daughter in laws\, daughters and all women who want to learn about Mindfulness principles for healthier family relationships. \nThis workshop is meant as an honest discussion about navigating relationships with your in law family. Expectations are high for women when they get married but they are not always given the tools on how to meet those expectations and there is no safe and unbiased space for women to share their concerns in our South Asian circles. \nThis workshop will touch on issues of respect\, shame\, self care and conflict resolution through a lens of mindfulness principles. \nBased on her professional and personal experience\, Parmjit will discuss 10 rules that she has developed for cultivating healthy relationship using mindfulness.
