And so it was...

… It just hit me one day when I was reading an e-mail from a friend regarding her problems with her husband, when she mentioned there is no one left to talk to anymore, people are way too busy with their own lives & problems and no one wants or has time to hear hers, never mind the gossip it might produce and as for psychologists, they are just too detached, too bookish and way too expensive…

I realized then that while women’s empowerment is promoted and praised in our so-busy and politically correct society, more often than not it is just a current global discourse a la cart adopted as a diplomatic façade for our culture. In reality, however, an Average Modern Woman is left alone to deal with her emotional needs, questions and realities… In isolation and despair, with wealth of creativity and passion for life, left unrealized...I also realized that an Average Modern Women, while so beautifully diverse are more similar than they recognize. And finally, I realized that if we joined together, we might create that missing link of strength and support that is so needed in our not-so glam daily lives.

This is why I started this group

It is for an Average Modern Woman; single, divorced or married; with children or alone; with overbearing parents or with no parental support at all; overworked or unemployed, financially comfortable or struggling… This group is for AMW who may feel weak, alone, unappreciated, conflicted, judged, unsure, weird, depressed and even abused, but who are reluctant to share their inner struggle with the family or friends fearing the gossip or being labeled as an “outcast”. It is for AMW who need support, but don’t know where to get it. It is for women who enjoy supporting others and learning from it at the same time.

This group is for all women regardless of race, culture, sexual orientation, religious background and political opinion. It is for all regardless of where they are in the socio-economic strata; we all have similar emotional needs and a deep-rooted desire for harmony, understanding and love…

This group is to provide women with a space to talk, support, share and work on building the solutions, one day & one step at a time, in a safe, judgment-free and confidential environment.

What's to be expected from the sessions:

Each session will be thematic, covering everything from meditation to fashion tips & image make-over, from sexual abuse to career changed and middle age crises; from living with depression to recovering a healthy body image. I will be introducing psycho-social techniques to achieve the peace of mind & inner harmony. On occasions, we will have  a guest "super-AMW”, women like us, who succeeded in overcoming difficulties & who are willing to share their stories and tips of their way to success.

We will approach holistically to all these issues, using yoga, meditation, photography, various visual techniques, role plays, movies, documentaries & just a simple discussion to achieve our ultimate goal of positive living.

What do we expect from you?

All you need is honesty, willingness to share adn teach and most importantly the understanding that we remain the students of each other and life itself. Always.

Where is it gonna be held?

First few meetings will be held at my small, but cozy home with tea, coffee & home-made treats. However, we will be meeting in other locations, depending on the themes and goals of the session and guest speakers/events.
