Women navigating menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, perimenopause, menopause, grief, and other life transitions often find themselves searching for support without knowing where to begin.Women Who Hold Women was created to bring together the practitioners in our region who are devoted to supporting women and families through these seasons of life. By gathering in one space, we create an opportunity for connection, collaboration, and community care.This event is also a way for women and families to discover the many resources available locally and to meet the practitioners who are walking alongside them on their journeys.Who This Gathering Is ForThis open house is for women and families who are seeking support, connection, and community.You may feel called to attend if you are:🌿 Preparing for pregnancy, birth, or postpartum🌿 Navigating menstruation, fertility, or reproductive health 🌿 Moving through perimenopause or menopause 🌿 Seeking body-based or holistic care 🌿 Curious about local practitioners supporting women’s health and well-being 🌿 Simply longing for connection with other women in your communityThis gathering is welcoming to all women and those who identify within the spectrum of womanhood, including LGBTQ+ individuals who feel aligned with this space.Families and partners are also welcome to attend and learn about the many ways women are supported through life’s transitions.The Story Behind Women Who Hold WomenOver the years of holding space for women at Rising Earth Healing Arts, I’ve come to see how many practitioners in our community are quietly supporting women through life’s most meaningful transitions such as  menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood, and menopause.Often, these practitioners work in separate spaces and circles, even though we are all part of the same continuum of care.Women Who Hold Women was created as a way to bring these women together in widening the web and  to strengthen connections among practitioners while also opening the doors to the wider community.My prayer is that this gathering allows women and families to meet the people who are devoted to this work, to discover the support available to them locally, and to experience the sense of community that can arise when we come together in service to life.At its heart, this event is about remembering something simple and powerful: women have always gathered to care for one another.In Rooted Love,Christine Jude Winus - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/wappingers-falls/women-who-hold-women/100001984830049107 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, art, lgbt-pride - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Wappingers Falls - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Rising Earth Healing Arts - **lat**: 41.5999085 - **long**: -73.92034509999999 - **full address**: Rising Earth Healing Arts, 2676 West Main Street, Wappingers Falls, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Women Who Hold Women - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/01bbcb5d0eae82d3544760df912b42e17fbb11b4145bae8a5266ec2ac9f954da-rimg-w1200-h1553-dcc1aba4-gmir.jpg?v=1773475111 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Women Who Hold Women being held? - **A:** Women Who Hold Women takes place on Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Rising Earth Healing Arts, 2676 West Main Street, Wappingers Falls, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Women Who Hold Women? - **A:** Women Who Hold Women is organized by Rising Earth Healing Arts. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
