Fall lineup brings women together at centre

A new season of girl power, sisterhood and self-esteem is about to launch at the Scarborough Women's Centre.

The centre's workshop series covers topics from tapping into creativity, understanding health matters and dealing with debt to overcoming anger.

The first workshop in the fall schedule is slated for Sept. 23. Entitled Reinvent Your Life, the workshop will lead participants toward a new way of thinking that will challenge long-standing self-concepts and how to use the power of intuition to reach financial, creative and spiritual goals.

Led by author and dream expert Darlene Montgomery, the session will take place at the centre at 2100 Ellesmere Rd., Suite 245, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The cost is $5.

Pre-registration is required and subsidies are also available for women of limited income.

For more information on this and the rest of the series visit www.scarboroughwomenscentre.ca or call 416-439-7111.
