Embrace what’s next.\nNature reminds us that change is part of life. As summer softens into fall and we enter the season of the Harvest Moon\, we’re invited to honor what has been\, gather its wisdom\, and make space for what’s next.\nMaybe you’re navigating a career change\, a relationship shift\, motherhood or an emptying nest\, a move\, a new chapter in midlife - or simply feeling that something within you is ready to change.\nWhatever your transition\, you don’t have to have it all figured out\, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.\nJoin us for an intimate evening designed to help you quiet the noise\, reconnect with yourself\, and rediscover the strength already within you.\nBack by popular demand from Mom’s Sanctuary and our New Moon Experience\, Sister Indra will guide us through a calming meditation to settle the mind and bring us back to ourselves. She’ll then introduce the 8 spiritual powers within - inner resources we can call upon to navigate change with greater courage and clarity.\nWe’ll reflect\, connect with other women\, and close with a meaningful ritual of release and celebration - letting go of what feels heavy and honoring the woman you are becoming.\nCome as you are\, Leave lighter - with more courage for whatever comes next. \nLight refreshments & tea will be provided. \nLimited Spots | Reserve your Spot for Finding Courage in Transition\n$65 per person\, please register below\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSister Indra Lal is a meditation teacher who has dedicated over 30 years to the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization. Her passion is to transform the world into a place filled with peace\, love and harmony\, working collaboratively across all sectors of society. Through the practice of meditation she aims to cultivate a better quality of life\, build community and make a positive impact on the world.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Midweek Reset \nMidweek Reset is a monthly wellness series created by LightenUp Life Now for people who are ready to stop pushing through - and start coming back to themselves. \nIn the middle of your week\, in the middle of your life\, we carve out 75 minutes to Breathe & Be Still. To Play & Express. To Move and Release. OR to Restore and Heal. \nEach month explores a different theme from New Moon intention-setting to breathwork\, sound healing\, seasonal reflection\, and more. Some evenings are intimate women's circles. Others welcome all. Every gathering is its own complete experience. \nThis is not a one-time event. It's a practice. A rhythm. A community.
