Girlz Drum Circle – Ages 5-8
Bring your girlz aged 5-8 to a drum circle led by Laney Goodman.  Laney will teach the rhythms of the drum and other rhythm instruments as the girlz learn to listen to their own voice of the drum, hear the heartbeat (or the “one”), and join their unique “voices” with the other girlz in harmony.  Each girl will be accompanied by an adult at all times. NOTE: If you have a girl younger than 5 who would like to participate, please contact Laney at 617-852-7401 to discuss whether this circle is right for her. 
Pre-registration required. Limited to 10 girlz. Sign up early – this class fills up fast!

Sunday, February 5, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.
$30 (fee is for one girl with accompanying adult)

Women’s Drum Lodge: “Elemental” Rhythms Healing Circle
Join your sisters as we call in each direction of the Medicine Wheel with “elemental” rhythms that invoke Air-Fire-Water-Earth.  We will use drumming, chants, sounding, and toning.  Please bring singing bowls, chimes, shakers, rain sticks, wooden flutes, and/or any variety of drum.  If weather permits we will be bringing the Mother Drum to aid us going deeper into the Mother Earth with the heart­beat. 
Pre-registration is encouraged but not required.
Laney Goodman
Sunday evening, February 5, 6:00-9:00 p.m.
$20
(Please contact Laney at 617-852-7401 to discuss possible discount, if needed.)

New Moon Circle
The Moon affects us all the time whether or not we are conscious of her influence.  As mother of the water element here on Earth, the Moon governs all that flows, from tides to emotions to monthly cycles.  She is a great teacher, offering us wisdom about our bodies, feelings, instincts and intuition.  Consciously engaging with the changing phases of the Moon helps us live in alignment and connection with nature.  In these Moon Circles we will energetically and creatively connect with the moon through sound, vibration, astrology, astronomy, myth and meditation. The dark phase of the Moon is a time for going inwards, returning to our core, resting in our deepest selves and preparing for another cycle.  From the darkness we emerge renewed, ready for the next phase of growth. The New Moon is a time for new beginnings, an opportunity each month to set the tone for the coming cycle and listen deeply for the themes being presented to us.  It is an optimal time to set intentions, make wishes and ignite growth. From the New Moon we enter into the waxing phase where the energy that was initiated expands and grows. 
Please pre-register.
Melinda Franceschini and Janet Kessenich 
Wednesday, February 22, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
$20 Early (February 15)/ $25 Regular

Women's Sacred Dance Journey with Live Drumming by Laney Goodman
During this dance journey, we will invite the voices of our bodies, which hold our deepest wisdom, to re-emerge.  Using dance as our medium, we will “re-member” our Selves, and re-connect to the deep inner wisdom that flows through each of us.  Whether it is the impulse to move a finger or the drive to shake our bones, each woman's movement is honored as her own best guide for connecting to her most authentic and sacred Self. No dance experience necessary.  Every body shape, size, and level of fitness welcome.
Pre-registration is appreciated but not required.  This circle is offered as a gift.  Those who are able to pass the gift along are invited to make a donation to the Women’s Well. 
Janet Farnsworth and Laney Goodman
Sunday, February 26, 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Suggested donation: $10-20

Healing Oasis for Healers
Spend a lunch hour in sacred space, meeting and sharing with others who tend bodies, minds, and souls. Whether you do healing work through a holistic practice, mindfully tend others, or are just a really good friend, we cordially invite you to experience the deeply nourishing support of this monthly circle. Bring a bag lunch if you wish -- we'll supply tea. 
Pre-registration is appreciated, but not required. This circle is offered as a gift. A suggested donation is requested each session to help cover Women’s Well costs.
