Purpose in Perimenopause and Beyond with Renata Atkinson [ONLINE][CANCELED]

May 18, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Join a small, intimate group for a virtual workshop as we nurture our connections with nature, self, and community, explore our desires and intentions for the next phase of life, and learn how herbal medicine can help with physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions. This workshop is designed for people in or in or near the perimenopausal life stage to connect with each other, connect with nature, and gain confidence about navigating this important life transition. Come connect with some fabulous folks who share similar concerns, get acquainted with some of the herbs that are particularly helpful in supporting through the changes and challenges of perimenopause, and learn how to work with these herbs to support your wellbeing. Choose one special ally that you will cultivate a deep relationship with throughout the months ahead and engage in exercises designed to help you feel grounded and more deeply connected with nature.

Meet your Facilitator, Renata Atkinson!

Renata helps purpose driven women build a foundation of wellness while tending to their unique health concerns, so they can do their work in the world with passion and vitality. She brings to her practice a scientific background, education and experience in clinical herbalism and nutrition, her love of nature and deep respect for the healing process to give her clients individualized support on their healing path.

Beginning in 2022, Fox Haven will pay $2 from every ticket sale to the Piscataway Land Trust as a LandBack tax for the land Fox Haven inhabits. Land taxes to indigenous nations function similarly to paying rent or a home mortgage. Payments such as a mortgage provide access to living space, whereas LandBack taxes recognize our access to stolen Indigenous land.

The Piscataway Land Trust is a long-term Indigenous-led effort led by the 501(c)(3) Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Inc. to restore and rematriate ancestral land and sovereignty in the Chesapeake region to Piscataway and other Chesapeake Indigenous people. To learn more or pay land tax, visit: https://www.piscatawayindians.com/projects

About LandBack Tax
From 2022 onward, Fox Haven will donate $2 from each event ticket to the Kikeokan Foundation to pay LandBack tax, acknowledging our access to stolen Indigenous land. The Kikeokan Foundation is an Indigenous-led initiative working to restore ancestral land and sovereignty to the Piscataway and other Indigenous communities of the Chesapeake.
