Family Night at Hope Sheds Light (Girl Scout Troop Meeting/Raising Hope)

Join us for FAMILY NIGHT AT HOPE SHEDS LIGHT!

We have decided to combine our Girl Scout Troop night with Raising Hope for an evening for the whole family! Our goal is to create a monthly event where all parents/guardians and their children (any age) can come together to get to know each other, engage in hands-on activities, and build a strong recovery community at Hope Sheds Light.

Adults can mingle and get to know each other while the kids engage in an activity. Any girls that are Girl Scout age will begin the night with a troop meeting, while the rest of the children engage in another activity. This month the activity will be planting, and the Girl Scouts can join in with this after their meeting.

If you are interested, register today! Registration is required so we can ensure we have enough planting supplies for the group.

To register, contact Ashley at ashley@hopeshedslight.org; 732-244-0783 Ext. 127

Sound Healing

Join us to discover relaxation and peace!

Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses the vibrations from bowls (metallic or crystal) to promote deep relaxation, healing, and stress reduction. This is a wonderful alternative therapy to calm your mind and lift your mood. Registration is REQUIRED – please reach out to Ashley to secure your spot today: ashley@hopeshedslight.org; 732-244-0783 Ext. 127
