​
LOCATION: Healthy Families Resource Center 
​301 n Cameron St
Winchester, VA 22601
​
​TIME: 4:30-6:30PM
Join Whitney for a nourishing and restorative Women's Healing Circle . This heartfelt gathering offers a warm vegan meal, calming herbal tea, Reiki energy healing, sound therapy with crystal bowls, flute, and drum, and space for authentic sharing, journaling, and reflection. Together, we'll calm the nervous system, release limiting beliefs, and reconnect with our goals and inner wisdom. You'll leave feeling seen, supported, and filled up—with simple, science-backed tools you can use right away to care for yourself and your family. This is your time to receive, reset, and rise.

Space is limited, so please register by calling (540)-536-4113!



3/21/26:   MONTHLY WOMEN'S CIRCLE with Whitney Schrader & Kathleen of Bridget’s Flame

LOCATION: Columbia, MD
TIME: 2-4PM

Held each month in sacred sisterhood, this cozy, heart-centered gathering is a space for women to reconnect, reflect, and simply be. The intention is to create a safe, welcoming atmosphere where you can come as you are, feel at home, and be nourished.
We begin with a warm, organic, home-cooked meal lovingly prepared by Whitney so you can settle in, relax, and receive from the moment you arrive.

Each circle flows organically with the energy of the group. We check in and share what’s truly going on in our lives. Sometimes that sharing is simply about being listened to. There is deep medicine in being seen, heard, and having space gently held for you — without fixing, without advice, just presence.
It’s also a natural and conscious way of connecting and networking. If you have gifts, offerings, or projects you’d like to share, there is space for that. Women are welcome to co-host a future circle, and occasionally we offer raffles featuring locally made, handcrafted items from our community.

Music is always woven into our time together. Through singing, drumming, guitar, humming, and voice activation, we use sound as a tool for healing, connection, and nervous system regulation. Sometimes a woman feels called to a specific song she needs in that moment — and we sing or play it together.

This is not about performing. Many of us were told we “can’t sing.” This space is about setting ourselves free — returning to childlike wonder, expressing our unique and beautiful voices, and allowing ourselves to be heard without judgment. That alone is deeply healing.

Some months we sing more. Some months we talk more. We truly go with the flow and the needs of the group, allowing the space to unfold naturally.

Each gathering also includes sound healing, energy healing, and activation attunements to support restoration and alignment.

The exchange is $35–$75 (sliding scale).

Hosted at Whitney’s home in Columbia, Maryland.

APRIL
4/2/26: FULL MOON CEREMONY WITH WHITNEY 

LOCATION: Haven Hdg 
130 Market St
Havre de Grace, MD 21078
Join us at Haven for a community Full Moon ceremony — a night of grounding, celebration, connection, and deep release in a beautiful, held sanctuary space.

This is a space where we gather together as humans in community — to listen and be listened to, to hold space for one another, and to reconnect with Mother Earth’s steady, nourishing energy.

 Expect a blend of heartfelt sharing, intentional ritual, and engaging activities that invite you out of your head and back into your body — supported by music, sound, creativity, and presence.

April 2nd is the “Pink Moon,” and astrologically this Full Moon is in Libra — an energy that calls us back into balance, harmony, boundaries, and right relationship: with ourselves, with each other, and with the Earth.
What we’ll do (Haven-style):

🌕 Opening + Earth Grounding — breath, intention-setting, and anchoring into the sanctuary as a shared container

🌿 Full Moon Release Ritual — a guided letting-go ceremony to clear emotional weight, old stories, and energetic residue you’re ready to lay down

🎨 Engaging Partner Activities — gentle partnered practices using art + storytelling to reflect, witness, and be witnessed (no art skills needed — just a willing heart)

🫶 Community Sharing + Holding Space — we do sit and listen to each other here, with reverence: presence, compassion, and real human connection

🎶 Sound Healing + Vocal Activation — bowls, voice, humming/toning to soothe the nervous system and open the heart

🕯️ Anointing + Blessing (optional) — intention-infused blessing for clarity, protection, and integration

💫 Integration + Closing — grounding, reflection prompts, and a closing prayer to seal the work

Leave feeling: lighter, clearer, more connected — to yourself, to community, and to Mother Earth… with practical tools you can carry into the weeks ahead.

Bring: a journal, water, something cozy, and any small sacred item for the altar (optional).

Energy Exchange: $35  ( Venmo Whitney- @WHIT-NEE )

Spots are limited so text Whitney at (443) 812-0764 to sign up!

Sisters, it’s time. We are gathering in sacred circle — as wild women, as soul family, as living medicine for each other and for the Earth.

This is an offering to your body, your spirit, and your becoming. A homecoming to your original essence of freedom, joy, sovereignty, nourishment, abundance, and remembrance. A space to reset, replenish, and rise — supported by nature, ceremony, and sisterhood.

We are meeting on one of the most potent sacred lands on Earth — the red rock temples of Sedona, Arizona. When women gather in community on sacred land, miracles happen. We unlock what’s been dormant. We hear the wisdom of the Earth again. We awaken what we thought was lost — and we do it together.

This retreat isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about anchoring into a new rhythm — one that feels real, nourishing, and true.
