About the Group

The group setting provides a safe place with confidentially to discuss what you are experiencing in your own life, as well as what you are learning through the 13 step process, explained below.

The Women’s Journey Empowerment Group is for every woman who feels she can gain by becoming empowered. It also can lend support to others who seek empowerment.

There is no charge and childcare is provided.

Women can feel free to join in at any time regardless of what steps (if any) they have previously covered. Whatever commitment you make to attend the group belongs to you and you may quit and join up again at any time.
