Women in Transition Workshop with Minni Sharma @ The Tranquil Garden Retreat Oshawa June 2013

SGC Admin: We have all been there at some time or another, when we feel alone, like the whole world seems to be against us, like those we know are no longer the same people we thought they were… dealing with losses such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a job or a home.

These are all transitional aspects of Life  and sometimes we may need a little help getting over the bumps, sometimes we need someone to put us back on the right path, to help us get our bearings again…

One such person is Minni Sharma, who is offering the following workshop at  The Tranquil Garden Retreat on June 8 2013…

Please use the contact information below to sign up for this event or for any questions you may have about the event or Minni.
