Jothi and Janine have forged a new partnership to run and grow HERSpace, a monthly collective of self-identified women and femmes who connect around self and community care. All of our work is delivered through a culturally responsive lens while decolonizing wellness practices that honour ancient knowledge and ancestral wisdom.Our monthly gatherings include sound bowl healing meditations, expressive arts, and somatic experiencing. You will leave feeling connected, supported, grounded, lighter, and more clear. Our circle is a safe and supportive space for women to come together, share their stories, and support one another on their wellness journeys.We are located at 1970 Brock St. at the North West corner in the beautiful Heritage House with the bright yellow door!
