family members and/or colleagues. Our staff supports the "host" as she selects a workshop session or
series that will be facilitated for her "group". The workshop(s) are facilitated in the comfort
of the home of the "host" or another space of her choice. After the "host" selects a
workshop topic, identifies a space where the session will take place and invites her guests, she and the other participants
will participate with a session that is facilitated by one of The Griots' Healing Circle staff members. As
