SUMMARY:Exhale Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Exhale is a group for Mothers with children of all ages who want to experience authentic community\, mothering support\, personal growth\, and spiritual hope. \nThe word “exhale” is to breathe out intentionally. Our prayer is for moms to be intentional about making time for themselves and to be intentional about being part of a group that will help them grow in their walk of faith and to grow as women\, wives\, and mothers. Learn more about Exhale here. \nThis year’s theme is “Make it Awkward”. In a world that values polish over vulnerability\, we’re reclaiming the power of awkwardness. Why? Because awkward is authentic and charming. It’s a breath of fresh air. Sometimes in our quest to be seen as competent\, professional\, and sophisticated\, we forget the value of being real. Isn’t it interesting how we love and appreciate awkwardness in others yet fight it off when we feel it in ourselves? Moms self-report loneliness in staggering statistics\, probably because they feel no one truly knows the truest version of themselves. And there’s one way to make that happen—by getting awkward. \nSign up for childcare here.
