Wise Women Wednesdays
A Women’s Circle & Gatherings
We don’t just pursue wellness – we cultivate it together!
Join our thriving community! Come to our events or reach out to create something amazing together!
Oasis in Sedona believes that true wellness emerges from harmony both within ourselves and within our community and environment. We are committed to supporting this journey by offering a beautiful space in the Village of Oak Creek that encourages community building through music, movement, multi-dimensional exploration and knowledge sharing.
Join us in a safe and sacred space to share wisdom as we come together and use our voices, to be heard, to be seen and to learn from each other.
It is an intentional gathering with different themes each time but always focused on personal development and human connection.

First Gathering – Finding Connections
Become a part of Wise Women Wednesday. The women’s circle is an ancient practice. Our ancestral mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and aunts created these sacred gatherings for thousands of years. When we participate in a women’s circle, we carry on the tradition of our female ancestors by forming a sacred community to celebrate the feminine. Through sisterhood support, we can better express our wisdom within our relationships, families, and communities. We can contribute to the restoration of the balance of the masculine and feminine in the world at large.
A women’s circle allows each woman to speak their truth without judgment. Sharing with other supportive, empowering women helps us to release the weight of burdens we carry. When we shed light on our fears in community, we diminish their power. We can then step beyond that wall of fear and emerge empowered.
Often busy lives get in the way of self-care. The women’s circle is a moment for self-love. It permits women to take time to nurture themselves. A gathering of sisters offers a time to appreciate all the hard work that goes into womanhood. It’s a time to rest, to connect with sisters, and focus on physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

September 25
Brain Longevity Training*
What can we do to improve our health and minds as we age? The key to improving health and preventing cognitive decline lies in our lifestyle choices. While DNA cannot be changed, the expression of genes can be altered through these lifestyle changes.
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the 4 Pillars of Alzheimer’s Prevention and explore some cognitive training (brain training) exercises designed to help maintain or even increase a person’s cognitive abilities.
Join us for a fun workshop exploring techniques to improve our brain function through neuroplasticity training and balance.
*Handouts will be given to participants / $35 set fee / CEU’s available

The Science of Sound Therapy
During this class, Gigi will introduce you to the science behind sound therapy, sharing her remarkable story of healing herself. She will play a series of Quartz Crystal Bowls, enveloping you in a truly magical and transformative sound. Gigi has been working with this healing tool for over 30 years and is incredibly intuitive, knowing precisely what bowls must be played for each individual in the room.

October 23
Pain & Stress Relief
How do you deal with physical pain and stress in your life? Are there techniques and strategies that have helped you? Are there other techniques that you have been curious about and would like to try? We are looking to learn from each other about our individual and collective experiences.
Einstein said: “The future of medicine is frequency medicine.” Taking that into consideration, we will explore several techniques that have proven their effectiveness for some people to relieve both pain and stress.
One technique will be through Conscious Breathing, which involves directing awareness to the breath and consciously working with it. By consciously changing the way you breathe, a signal is sent to the brain to adjust the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, thereby slowing your heart rate, lowering your blood pressure, and improving your digestion. Other techniques will be Frequency Analysis & Emotional Balancing, Guided Visualization, Energy Healing and Sound Therapy. By being able to explore these within our circle, you may find the technique or combination that works for you!
Wise Woman: Melina Fuhrmann & Jasmine Sterling

November 6
Grief & Staying Connected with Loves Ones
In times of loss, grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our healing support program offers a safe, compassionate space to process your emotions while exploring a new, multidimensional understanding of your connection with loved ones who have crossed the veil. Through guided meditations, reflective journaling, lucid dreaming, and shared group experiences, you’ll discover how to continue your relationships in a profound and transformative way.

November 20
Taking Care of the Caregiver
Before the holidays start, let’s explore ways that we can take care of ourselves, so that we can make sure to take the time to take care of ourselves during a joyful but sometimes stressful time of the year. Let’s support each other.
Wise Woman: Melina Fuhrmann
3-5 pm
December 4
Balance & Renewal with the Vagus Nerves*
Learn techniques to help create balance in the body and harmonize the nervous system by working to increase Vagal tone. The Vagus nerve literally activates the parasympathetic nervous system – the mechanism that controls involuntary actions and affects mood. According to researchers, it is, in fact, the internal eye that connects the mind to the body. The Vagus nerves are essentially in charge of the parasympathetic nervous system, so the more we learn to activate these nerves, like deep breathing, the more we reduce the effects of the sympathetic nervous system.
In this 2-hour workshop we will discuss the importance of the Vagus nerves and how it can apply on and off our mats.
Handouts will be given to participants / *$35 set fee

December 18
Finding Purpose: Who Are You Becoming?
Speaking your truth is an essential aspect of living a life of passion, fulfillment, and authenticity. It is only through honest self-expression that you are empowered to discover your life purpose at any stage of your life and become who you intend yourself to be. We also live in a culture that favors logic over intuition. As children, we are not taught to value our intuition, and our “gut feelings” are often discounted if we cannot logically defend our reasoning. As a result, as an adult, we no longer trust one of the most powerful gifts that we have as women: our Intuition! We simply have learned to doubt that we could know things through nonlogical means.
At the last women’s circle of 2024, we will explore ways to connect with our inner truths, develop our intuition and inner vision, let go of our attachments, and feel empowered to be our unique selves.
