Fifty metatonaec years after the tragic extinction of planet Eaerthdon, life on planet Tenson is in turmoil. Charged by Chief Elder Amos to eliminate bigotry, four Zumanaur teen ghosts Ava, Manon, Mereminum, and Feifer exit Cosmo Gumbo on their mission to Louisgrove. With precious time to spare, they rush to join their necessary families and confront the injustices that lie ahead.

Stunned by the sudden sight and sound of corona Chaz, the ghosts brace themselves as the mad, beastly saber-toothed golden tiger digs hard into the ground, kicking up dust, clawing the air. With blood marks trailing down his spattered face, Feifer plunges his weapon into the cinnamon-striped beast as it crashes down the windswept alps to its demise.

The ghosts continue their journey traveling down the lowlands, hoping their presence will make a difference.

WHAT ARE WELLNESS SISTAHOOD/SISTERHOOD SESSIONS??? Sisterhood sessions provide a spiritual gathering of women in a sacred space to share life, laughter, joy and friendships on the journey to inner peace, passion and purpose. WHAT TO EXPECT IN A WELLNESS SESSION: Sessions are usually held on a weekly basis for a duration of one and a half hours. The sessions initially include dialogue, some relaxation techniques, journaling and some self-awareness exercises. Discussions will center around participant input from exploration/expression currently used in their life. "I have had painters display their freshly painted canvases online illustrating that week's insights." *Sessions provide a chance to talk about some of the issues we don’t get to talk about in “polite society.” These dialogues are designed to touch on those issues that are buried deep within our hearts. They are meant to be guides for your deeper questioning and conversations. This is not therapy: you may not receive all the answers to your questions. The hope is that you leave with more questions to stir your hearts and souls. This is about opening your heart and giving you the self-care you need.

You are encouraged to bring a notebook or journal to each sisterhood session, to record insights and learnings and to record any assignments between sessions. No previous experience in mindfulness is necessary.

If you are a woman making a life transition from brokenness to wholeness; from chaos to commitment; from pain to purpose, then this gathering is for you.

Now, let us begin the journey.

Sincerely, Jeri Brown Founder and Facilitator
