Mama Bear's Zen
Mama Bear's Zen, a workshop series targeting women at local shelters, is designed to blend education with self-care. The primary goal of Mama Bear's Zen is to inspire hope, resilience, and self-confidence while nurturing a sense of belonging within the community. Workshops are community-focused and include talks and demonstrations from local women-owned businesses, authors, and advocates.
Community Connections
By providing education, life skills, and self-care resources through Mama Bear's Zen, Community 247 is investing in the potential of shelter residents. As women recovering from abuse or hardship gain financial literacy and coping skills, they become more self-reliant, reducing the strain on social services and contributing to the local workforce. The self- care component fosters emotional well-being, which in turn contributes to healthier and happier families and community members.
