Event Details

Hundreds of thousands of women and girls have been raped and tortured in the Congo in the last 10 years. These women and girls are in dire need of trauma recovery healing and empowerment based education so that they can re-create their lives.

 It is for this reason that I am sending you this invitation....

I would love you to join me for this event sponsoring the

 Trauma Healing and Empowerment Training Program that I have developed in partnership with Vday (http://drc.vday.org/) at The City of Joy in Bukavu, Congo

The City of Joy is a transformational community for Congolese women survivors of sexual violence where their pain will be turned into their power, enabling them to be leaders and providing them with a place to heal emotionally as they rebuild their lives

The evening will be a blend of

  • Entertainment from some of the most empowering women I know
  • An inspiring presentation about how you can support the healing and deep empowerment of the Congolese women and girls.
  • And a chance to be amongst some of the most wonderful people such as you!!!

Just Imagine what would be possible if we were all gathered in one place- with one intention in our hearts and minds: to support the healing of this trauma and to inspire the empowerment and leadership of the women in the Congo.

The evening’s events will be:

5:00pm  Cocktails, Hors D'oeuvres

5:30 to 7pm

·         Opening and Welcoming Intention Ceremony

·         Presentation: Healing and Empowering the Women of the Congo.

·         Fundraising & Wish list Pledge, Entertainment and Silent Auction

7pm-8pm: Schmoozing..... 

 

Please join me to support the healing and empowerment of our sisters in the Congo. They need our love, light and support so deeply.

It is truly time for us to move towards creating a different world for us all to live in.

Planet Breathe and Vday



Planet Breathe is commited to inspiring women all over the world to be all that they are.

Planet Breathe creates healing, and empowerment programs seeding opportunities for women to step into positions of empowered and conscious leadership.

Planet breathe is an invitation for us to co-create a world worth living in.

V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women.

V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely.

V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now.

V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities.

V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world.

V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops.

V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence.

V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community. Join us!
