When people think about chakras, if they already know something about them, they usually think of chakras 1-7.
Cyndi Dale has taken this awareness to another level. She describes in detail how these additional chakras can influence our lives including our past, present, and future; our soul (including patterns and archetypes); how we can see grounding to the earth from a new perspective; and how to change negative to positive energy. She also explores a secondary system of chakras that together connects or “entrains” to the heart. In addition, she includes information about the back sides of the first seven chakras. Explore using chakra energy with the basic as well as the expanded and fascinating additional 8-12 chakra levels.

The Membership Committee is excited to announce that TABLE FOR EIGHT is back after a long hiatus. This free MEMBERS ONLY program is a great way to bring people together to socialize and get better acquainted outside the structure of classes and programs. Some wonderful friendships and a stronger sense of community have grown out of these Tables.
It is now time to activate TABLE FOR EIGHT for the new program year! Adult members are welcome to participate as an individual or as a couple. One person in a couple must be a Womanspace member. You will be assigned to a group of 6–7 other people according to your availability and preferences that you selected when you register.
Your Table is asked to meet four times between October, 2025 and September, 2026 for a minimum of 90 minutes each time. Each Table sets its own time to meet and the format of its meetings. Please be sensitive to the financial abilities of those in your group as you shape your format. Where and how you structure your Table is totally up to your combined group’s creativity! In the past, groups have met for coffee, had potluck meals in homes, visited a local attraction together, gone out for a meal and more.
If you would like to be included in TABLE FOR EIGHT, please register by October 9th, 5:00p. You will hear about your Table members within 1-2 weeks. Questions should be directed to info@womanspace-rockford.org.

Presented by the artist, Deborah Ann Lucas
Join Deborah Lucas for a powerful evening of story, art, and reflection inspired by her memoir Dance While the Fire Burns and her exhibition in the Celebration Gallery at Emmanuel Lutheran.
The book closes with the loss of her brother to AIDS in 1995, a moment that brought her to Womanspace in search of healing and connection. Through clay, horses, and community, she discovered strength, belonging, and the courage to keep creating./ In this program, Deborah will weave together readings from her memoir, stories behind her paintings and sculptures, and reflections on the role of community in shaping her life as an artist and woman.
Together, we will witness how creativity, spirituality, and support can transform grief into resilience and loneliness into home.

Perimenopause is a rollercoaster — hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, sleepless nights, and everything in between. This community group is a space to vent, commiserate, and connect with others who get it. No judgment, no shame — just real talk, shared experiences, and the reassurance that you’re not alone. Join us for a potluck-style small bites brunch (bring something to share if you’d like!) Coffee and tea will be provided. Each gathering will be a mix of open conversations and practical tips to help us navigate perimenopause with more ease — and a little humor. Come as you are, bring a friend, and let’s vent, laugh, and figure this out together!
