Announcement of our move-out of the building and plans for continuing into the future are here:
ANNOUNCEMENT RE MOVING ON FROM THE BUILDING by DEC 15, 2024
The Women's Center for Healing & Transformation has always been a sanctuary for connection, growth, and empowerment. While change is never easy, it is often the catalyst for growth. As we prepare to vacate our longtime home in Abita Springs by December 15, 2024, we want to share our gratitude for over a decade of memories in that space and our vision for the future.
This transition has brought its challenges, but it has also sparked creativity, reflection, and a renewed commitment to our mission. We are excited to embrace a new chapter, expanding our reach through virtual offerings and exploring new physical spaces that align with our needs and vision.
We want to assure you that the Women's Center is here to stay. Our heart and mission remain the same: to provide a supportive space for healing, transformation, and connection. While the way we deliver this may be evolving, the essence of our work is unwavering.
This is where we need you. Your continued support as a donor, subscriber, provider, or community member is vital during this time of transformation. By staying connected, you help ensure that the Women's Center can continue to thrive and serve as a beacon of healing and empowerment for years to come. We invite you to join us on this journey by:
Attending our virtual offerings:
Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events and programs and understanding that some may need a month or two as we prepare and regroup.
Sharing your feedback: We value your input on how we can best serve you and our community in this new chapter.
Continuing your support: Your generosity fuels our ability to move forward with confidence and strength. Please note our new address below for banking and correspondence.
Transitions are part of any organization's story, and this is just one chapter in ours. Together, we can write the next one, rooted in hope, resilience, and possibility.
Thank you for standing with us. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our plans, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
With gratitude and determination,
Women's Center for Healing & Transformation

We're excited to announce the release of our first podcast!

Find out how this makes the shift to a more compassionate and egalitarian society for us all. Listen and enjoy! |
