Inspired by Paula Martin's new book of poetry, CRONING, women of all ages are invited to join our CRONING CIRCLE at the Esse Center, a beautiful new addition to ESSE Museum & Store, to celebrate and honor women in the third stage of their lives (age 50+) in a sacred space. Paula will open the circle with a guided meditation, and then read from her new book, and elder women will be encouraged to read their own work, tell their own stories, discuss, and share. Elder women may also be honored in other ways, including song, movement, spiritual ceremony, and more. Younger women are welcome and very much encouraged to come and listen, but not to read or teach in any way. Just as traditional cultures understood, this is a time for honoring and revering elders and listening to those who came before.

Bi-Weekly: First and Third Wednesdays, 1:30-3:00pm*

Energetic Exchange: $10-$20 depending on each woman's abundance

Registration: Space is limited to 12, Pre-Register by clicking on Tickets through the Facebook Event Link HERE. Please include your name and the date you are registering for with your payment.

*Doors will close a half hour after we start, when we open the circle at 2pm. We will not be able to allow anyone in after that time, so please arrive on time.

Join illuminating guest speaker Susan Campbell on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 2 pm for a nurturing conversation focused on discovering and cultivating self-esteem. As the owner of Lumerie Studio in Little Rock, Susan has taught therapeutic yoga and Pilates for almost 20 years, helping her clients move better, feel better, and live better. Her broad teaching experience has laid the groundwork for this talk and for her unique approach to raising self-esteem.

Join author Ruby Warrington for a thought-provoking talk based on her trending 2019 book, Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, Limitless Presence, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All On The Other Side of Alcohol. Alcohol is intrinsic to American culture, from kegs at college parties and cocktails after work, to wine at book club groups and beers at the stadium. But our drinking habits are often contradictory to the healthful behaviors we want to cultivate, and while alcohol can give us a temporary buzz, it ultimately makes us tired and queasy the morning after, while depleting our confidence and natural enthusiasm for life. In Sober Curious, Ruby invites readers to question: "How different would your life be if you stopped drinking on autopilot? Maybe stopped drinking altogether?" And, in this enlightening talk and Q&A, she will provide insider insights from her own path spearheading a movement away from the dominant drinking culture, as well as why she believes the future is Sober Curious.

• Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Purchase tickets on the Facebook event page through Eventbrite below.

• 5:30-6:15: Mocktails + Nibbles. Mocktails available for a suggested donation of $5. Mocktail MO, Little Rock’s own mocktail crusader and blogger, will be on hand to chat about what alcohol-free drinks can be found locally.

• 6:15-7:15: Sober Curious Talk + Audience Q&A

• 7:15-7:45: Book and Astro Deck sale and signing
