Abstract

The Women's Wellness Circle was created and implemented with the intent to cultivate healing amongst Native American women who have endured trauma. The therapeutic group sought to build self-love through the teaching and use of various traditional as well as western modalities of healing. The therapeutic group included four individual sessions on the topics of: Healing Tools, Creating Balance and Recognizing Triggers, Historical Trauma and a Closing Circle that brought all of the topics to a close. As the group culminated its natural flow resulted in slight changes to originally planned activities and as predicted wisdom was shared and knowledge gained from the group participants as well as myself as facilitator.
