SUMMARY:Mother Trees: Inner Mentor Vision Boarding @ Evolve Therapy Space
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Cara Rossi\, a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) for a reflective\, creative workshop designed to help you connect with your inner mentor — the wise\, steady part of you that already knows what you need.\n\nThrough a gentle guided reflection\, you’ll be invited to meet this inner mentor and listen for the messages\, values\, and intentions they hold for you. From there\, you’ll bring that inner wisdom to life by creating a personal vision board that reflects how you want to feel\, grow\, and show up in the year ahead.\n\nThis workshop is an opportunity to:\n– Tap into your inner wisdom and intuition– Clarify intentions and meaningful goals– Cultivate self-belief and self-compassion– Use creative expression as a tool for reflection and growth\n\nNo artistic experience is needed — just curiosity and an open heart.\n\n Materials: Basic supplies will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring magazines or images that resonate with them if they’d like.\n\nCome as you are\, and leave with a visual reminder of the guidance that already lives within you.\n\nBecause of our updated time and location\, we are going to try making our gatherings mothers-only. Of course\, babies in arms are always welcome. If this change makes attending a gathering a hardship for you because of childcare needs\, please email us at mothertrees313@gmail.com. We want that feedback and can see what to do to get creative here.\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 7Time: 7:00pm-8:30pmLocation: Evolve Therapy Network\, 16845 Kercheval\, Suite 2A\, Grosse Pointe\, MI 48230
