Honoring the Mother Within: creator, protector, nurturer
Saturday  May 10th  12:00-4:00 PM
$100 includes light lunch from Greg Christian Catering
with Susan Lipshutz LCSW
Whether or not a woman is a literal mother, she carries within her the energy fo the divine Mother. Often these attributes are unrecognized or diminished. In this workshop we will explore the heritage of the archetype and learn to claim these strengths in our own lives. Each of us have experienced times when we have stifled our creative spirits, nurtured to the point of deprivation or held back from our place of power. Spend this afternoon in playful creation and movment toward your genuine self. Beadnik Bead store will be assisting us each in making an intentional bracelet to hold the energies and continue to remind us of the beauty and strength that we are. Come alone, with your mother, daughter or friend to seep into this afternoon of self-awareness and empowerment.

Susan Lipshutz LCSW is a holistic practitioner with over 20 years of teaching and private practice in Chicago. She brings a foundation of Western medicine and indigenous spiritual practice to her work. Susan integrates ancient wisdom with her powerful teaching, crafting an easy-to-understand style of empowerment and self-love. Visit her on-line at www.everydaymedicinewoman.com
