Be Safe: Women's Self Defense for NYC | Sheep Meadow

The worlds gone crazy and you need to feel safe.
Calm your nervous system and defend yourself from harm. I've put this together to help women feel safe in a chaotic world. I'm Energy Healer Kiana Love, Founder of Be Wild Woman. I help women and survivors of complex trauma that are still feeling overwhelmed, anxious and uncomfortable in the bodies, feel safe free and at home in their bodies and lives. I've invited Kung Fu Master Lawrence Tan to share realistic tools to help you defend yourself in case of danger. I'm offering this because I've been seeing and experiencing how unsettled and unpredictable the world is today. This affects your nervous system, leaving you unsettled, anxious and less confident....which keeps you overthinking, exhausted and stuck. Recently young kids with ski masks surrounded me on my way home yelling at me. I've had clients and people I know come in for sessions distressed after being hit or threatened and had to calm them down and help them feel safe again. If you're feeling anxious and overwhelmed it's hard to focus, sleep or thrive. I'm sharing this workshop and making it affordable, because I want you to feel safe and I want you to thrive. with care, Kiana Love - Energy Healer/Founder of Be Wild Woman Overview: We will meet outdoors in Central Park, Sheeps Meadow.

Be Safe: Realistic Women’s Self Defense We live in dangerous times. Assaults and violent crimes against women are happening throughout the city and around the world.
