Woman Informed Weekly Monday Meditation & Energetic Renewal

Join feminists, changemakers, activists, and everyone who supports democracy, human rights, and women for a weekly meditation and energetic renewal. Together, we will take care of ourselves and each other. In our community, we invite you to bring your whole self and all your power.

Being in a community is powerful. Being in a community with powerful women inspires continued women’s empowerment. When we have the energy to share, we bring it to the group. When we need support, we receive the loving care of this group.

These times require loving, wise, and courageous presence and action. Refueling our energy supports our ability to remain aware, present, engaged, and courageous.

No meditation experience is necessary. This practice will be guided.

#### Lisa’s Spiritual Orientation and Welcome Statement

Lisa Tafolla’s meditation offering is open to people of all religious beliefs and faiths. My meditation training is Buddhist-based. Although trained in the Theravada Buddhist lineage, Lisa incorporates practices from other Buddhist lineages and considers her teaching style contemporary and non-dogmatic. She invites the divine feminine, the Goddess, into her meditation practice in all of her forms. This may include Mother Earth, Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Shekhinah, or Shakti. She recognizes and acknowledges that archeological evidence supports a history where in Neolithic and Paleolithic times, God was considered a woman. Let’s invite the Goddess to fuel our loving missions.
