Grief, Celebration and Co-Creation!

Grief, Celebration and Co-Creation!
I'm raising funds to respond because the UNIVERSE has called me out! These funds will be used to support me in attending the WisdomWomen Visionary Gathering at Tara Mandala 9/9-11 & the North American Permaculture Convergence in CA 9/14-18. I am called to gather with heart leaders and paradigm shifters to alchemize our grief and dreams by creating beauty with movement, art and nature at Tara Mandala so that I can turn around the unite with John Mahkewa at the Permaculture Convergence to co-create an abundant future deeply rooted in the rich soil of native american ecological knowledge and wise permaculture design!
I am in a very transitional time in my life right now. I have been suffering from major depression and PTSD for over a year now and I really need some big changes to be able to heal. I don't have access to the therapy program that I need here in Bishop. I found a program that might work for me, but I will need to relocate to be able to join the year-long intensive program. The therapy is called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and has been very successful in helping me to use skills for emotion regulation and has helped me to create a live worth living. The barrier so far has been being able to pay for the costs of moving like deposits, and such. I thought it was out of reach, but I am feeling like getting the help I need is actually within reach. I will be moving to the Bakersfield area as soon as I am accepted to the program. Any funds raised after gas money for the retreat and Permaculture Convergence will go toward making the move that I believe will save my life.
Latest Update
I'm so excited to be invited to speak at the North American Permaculture Convergence with my dear friend and mentor John Mahkewa! The convergence hasn't yet raised enough money in their travel fund to be able to help with travel assistance-- so I'm hoping to raise just a little more gas and food money to support us in being able to be a part of this co-creation to benefit all beings! http://permacultureconvergence.com/

WisdomWomen is a growing movement of women who believe it is time to look in a revolutionary new direction and build our world from a different paradigm. We are not asking whether or not this can be done. We are claiming that it is ours to do. We invite trailblazers, heart and thought leaders and paradigm shifters to be part of a Visionary Gathering at Tara Mandala. Our gathering will complete on 9-11 and we invite the potency of this day as well as the sacredness of Tara Mandala to inspire our theme of Grieving & Dreaming.
