COMMUNITY AGAINST VIOLENCE Empowering Workshop with Deneen Joyner – 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Second Floor, Box Theater. Partial Approval - Free

Deneen Joyner is a nationally award-winning author, and retired social worker of over 18 years working with children and families in trauma. Today as an Ancestral Trauma Healer, she offers a unique approach to how others can examine their inherited DNA surrounding emotional pain using her ancestor’s ancient indigenous practices in soul healing. This spiritual workshop will activate curiosity, motivation, and openness of naturally relying on intuition as spiritual guidance for living and to navigate safely from stressful and potentially harmful situations. Participants will learn what intuition is, why they may not be following it, how to know when they are using their intuition vs self-talk, and how to practice and strengthen using it consistently. Deneen charges hundreds of dollars for her workshops, but this event is free to you – a gift from Alina’s Light.
