We know things have been heavy. With fear, grief, and uncertainty rising—this circle is a space for women to pause, breathe, and be held in community.
Whether you’ve been directly impacted by ICE raids or are carrying the weight of concern for others, this space is for you.
🕯️ This is a space for collective healing, where we’ll:
• Begin with grounding and breathwork led by Jennifer Solarte, Founder of &Rise
• Receive legal updates and information from Immigration Attorney Claudia Casas
• Learn coping strategies and emotional support tools from Dr. Xiomara Cervantes-Gómez, Founder + Principal of Xritica
• Share our stories, reflections, or simply listen
• Close with affirmations, shared resources, and a sense of connection
You don’t need to have the words. You don’t need to be “okay.” You just need to come as you are.
