Gathering Sparks: Women’s Community Circle
Free Event
Gathering Sparks is a women’s discussion and networking group. We will gather once per month in a relaxed atmosphere to discuss topics around spirituality, women’s issues, philosophy, or topics that the community chooses.
Here’s what awaits you:
Women’s Issues:
We begin by acknowledging our shared experiences as women. From menstruation to menopause, from sisterhood to self-care, we dive into the rich tapestry of women’s lives. Let’s discuss the challenges, victories, and the magic that resides within us.
Metaphysical Musings:
In our circle, we explore metaphysics—the unseen realms, energy healing, crystals, and intuitive practices. Bring your pendulum, your tarot deck, or simply an open heart.
Guest Speakers and Wisdom Keepers:
Wise women visit our circle—astrologers, herbalists, shamans, and poets. They share their insights, weaving ancient wisdom with modern understanding. We sip herbal tea (or wine) and listen, knowing that wisdom transcends time.
Soulful Conversations:
From goddess archetypes to dream interpretation, our discussions meander like forest streams. We laugh, we cry, and sometimes, we sit in silence—holding space for each other’s stories.

Spark Your Creativity: Reconnect to Your Inner Creative
(2 sessions / 4 hours each OR 4 sessions /2 hours each)
Join Dr. Melissa Tanner in an expanded exploration of how to spark your creativity. This class is inspired by Julia Cameron’s timeless classic, The Artist Way.
You will explore how you can reconnect with your inner creativity that many of us have lost during childhood, traumatic events, stressful lives, raising children, or other numerous reasons.
Over several sessions, we will discuss how we can come back to ourselves through reclaiming our identity, power, compassion, autonomy, faith, and much more. You will then use the week between classes playing, creating, and releasing!
The methods in this class are what Dr. Melissa used to reset her life in 2021 when she was burnt out and disconnected from herself, her creative spirit, and her inner child. The method you will experience helped her begin healing herself and doing the work to align and thrive.
