Goal Setting with the sky in mind

Your year has begun, you have big plans, goals you want to reach, and dreams you wish to manifest.  In your visioning, planning and goal setting, did you consider the sky? Are you starting new projects at new moon?  Reviewing progress and acknowledging achievements at full moon? Mercury Retrograde, are you forewarned and allowing, or will Mercury be messing with your plans? Eclipse Season, is it possible to open to magical alignment and re-visioning, or will the eclipses create chaos? Astro-events shift and align energy throughout the year.

And throughout the year different planets are shifting signs, going retrograde, or aligning with eclipse energy.  If you take the sky moves into account you can align your year with the astro moves that will support you, rather than block you.

Using Boundaries to Make Room for Self Prioritization AND Generosity

What Women Deserve: A New Narrative Supporting Our Physical, Mental & Emotional Well being

Growing and developing as a woman is a process that impacts us all, so why is it so rarely discussed? What we do hear however, loud and clear, is society's message that women are expected to maintain their youth and physique at any expense.

How do we welcome this beautiful journey vs resisting it, as we are taught to do?

Stories that Stick - Applying Neuroscience to Your Storytelling

In business, it is important to know how to share your story. In fact, it is recommended to have a few stories up your sleeve! But, how do you know which story to share? And once you have identified the story, how can you share it in a way that creates connection, action, and results? For we all want that in business! Neuroscience has evidence on why we LOVE stories, and why they are one of our greatest tools for creating connections. Stories invite all our senses and activate all corners of our minds and imagination. AND MORE. We all know the joy of listening to a great story. Sharing a great story is one of the most effective ways to create fast and effective connections--especially online. But, do you know what is happening inside the brain of your listener? Science now proves that a thrilling story is a catalyst for powerful responses in your listener's brain. These responses can change outcomes, drive sales, and create powerful social bonds. Join Debra Driscoll  from Fearless Communicators for this workshop to learn about the science of stories, refresh your story craft, and understand why it's important to construct a story that connects. Step forward with your story!

Cleansing & Clearing Your Energy from External Toxicity

Protecting our energy can be difficult. We are not only exposed to environmental toxins but also a great deal of negative energy throughout our day as well.

Fortunately, there are various practices and good energy hygiene that can help us cleanse negative energy and prevent the spread to others. We are excited to welcome Nikki Gomez back to The NoW to help us navigate this tricky, yet very important terrain.

Conscious Consumption — drinking mindfully

We live in a world surrounded by alcohol. Rarely do we attend an event that doesn't include alcohol. Births, deaths, weddings, holidays, company outings, etc.. Really any celebration or gathering almost always includes alcohol. And most of us have just assumed that way of life without giving it much thought. Tonight we gather to get a bit more intentional on how, when and why we drink or choose not to drink.

I Thought I was Eating Healthy...Reflections & Lessons from Our Nutrition Experts

Eating healthy can be tricky, overwhelming and frustrating if not given the right tools. Many of us are getting our information from varied sources and piecing it all together in hopes that we are doing it ‘right’. But unfortunately, that information isn't always accurate and it is causing many missteps along the way. That organic local granola that I thought was healthy has tons of hidden sugar in it. That kombucha with the live culture that is supposed to benefit me also has a ton of sugar bottled in there, too. Oh, and what about that protein powder that is supposed to be boosting my protein levels but only has 1/3 of protein/serving-- what fillers are in the remaining 2/3's? Uggh, I thought it was all healthy....

You aren't alone in this struggle. We are so excited to welcome four of our own nutrition experts who will share their stories and challenges and what led them to this work. You don't want to miss this informative event. You will walk away with many golden nuggets that will greatly improve your life.

INvesting 101- Becoming an Investor

She will lead us in an hour long conversation on why women aren't investing as much as men, reasons to invest, exploring your investing goals, how to start investing and the risks associated.

THE NOW’S BOOK CLUB — READ, SIP & SHARE

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but. When Holly Whitaker decided to seek help after one too many benders, she embarked on a journey that led not only to her own sobriety, but revealed the insidious role alcohol plays in our society and in the lives of women in particular. This book dives into far more than sobriety. Holly explores our upbringing, trauma and various healing modalities and a variety of self care practices. After reading this book, you will never look at alcohol the same.
