Endometriosis & Chronic Pain Donation-Based Affinity Community Space

  • MOTA 11 Bow Street Somerville, MA, 02143 United States (map)

Description:

This is a donation based community space. Suggested donation is $5. This can be sent via venmo (@MOTAFWS) OR after signing up, you can donate in our Online store here. 50% of all donations will be sent to https://endoinvisible.org/. They are an organization that helps fund excision surgery - the gold star treatment for endometriosis.


This is a space for endometriosis and chronically pained people to come together in community. This space is here to share stories, offer support for one another and come together to hold space for one another. During this time we will have a prompt to speak around and mini break out groups to dive deeper into conversations. 

As a disclaimer, this is not a formal support group. We want to offer space to come together but to be mindful of the individual capacities we all have to care for one another. We will start the session with community guidelines and introductions then move into our storytelling & community time. 

If you find you need further support around mental health or are experiencing severe life threatening pain, please be sure to connect with a mental health professional to make sure you are getting the support you need.


Special Instructions:

Please be sure to bring things that will support you for the two hours. You do not have to stay for the full two hours. This will not be a movement class, so feel free to come in comfy clothes, bring a heating pad, essential oils and anything else to help you feel comfortable and supported. 

It is highly recommended to bring a journal so we can have time for reflection. We will start the session with a guided meditation and move into the space together.
