Eileen & Callie’s Place had the privilege of participating in the first Brave Mini Meetup at the Salvation Army Church in White Center. The event centered around wellness and body positivity and an inspirational keynote by The Healthy Edge CEO, Amber Thiel. The girls enjoyed a cross-fit class, preparing dinner, and learning a choreographed dance to “This Is Me“.
Each girl had a blank card taped to her back and when the time was right, all of the participants were told to write a descriptive word on someone elses card, without speaking a word. Beautiful, strong, and powerful were repeated often.The girls were told to save the cards and cherish what others saw in them.
Brave X4 will be held April 4, 2020
Since we last talked….
New Friends, New Resources!
