Thank you to The Daughters of Erin (Central Ohio) for welcoming our Executive Director Mimi Geswein today. It was wonderful to share our mission with you and to thank you in person for your generous gift to WAW. 🍀❤️

This May, we pause to honor you.
From conception, a mother is the first environment.
The first rhythm.
The first divine gaze her child seeks.

At our May Women Affirming Women Caregiver Circle, we will honor the sacred role of mothering and caregiving while remembering a powerful truth. You can only attune to your children to the degree you attune to yourself. Self-care is not selfish. Knowing your needs matters. Your presence matters.

Join us for a gentle, affirming circle where mothers and caregivers are seen, supported, and reminded that caring for yourself strengthens your capacity to care for others.

Date: Wednesday, May 13, 6:00-8:00 PM
Location: St. Francis of Assisi Church 386 Buttles Ave., Columbus, 43215
Plenty of free parking next to the church rectory. Enter through side entrance of church and proceed down to the lower-level social hall. Free dinner and parking.
