GET EMPOWERED-Free Empowerment Workshops with a note from JLove:
I am personally inviting you to the Second Empowerment Session that I am facilitating for FREE in NYC.
The Empowerment Workshop is a space totally set up for YOU! We spend the whole weekend in conversation about who you are and what you stand for, what you want in life, and breaking down the barriers you feel are in the way. The workshop is intergenerational, gender-fluid, and multi-cultural. There are short lectures, hands-on activities, journaling, and small and large group discussions.
Please let me know if you are interested in attending. I am keeping the group intimate, and you do have to be there the entire time!
