Who We Are
Our mission at Village Well is to cultivate a community whereby radical self love, empowerment, and authentic connection are held in a sacred container. We represent an inclusive mix of diverse faiths, genders, ethnicities, and socio economic backgrounds.
We gather with the understanding that each of us holds stories, truth, and light.
Together, we are on a collective quest to become the best version of ourselves:
our Higher Self.
In this community, you are safe. Your feelings will be witnessed with compassion.
And you are valued.
Come. Restore. Transform....we have been waiting for you.
