This is a paid piece from Selah Space.

Simplified: Circles of Care, the nonprofit arm of holistic wellness cooperative Selah Space, has a new event that takes women supporting women to the next level. Here's what you need to know about the "Ladies First" event on June 6.

Why it matters

  • Circles of Care was established in 2024 to help give women access multidisciplinary, holistic care regardless of income or insurance.
  • The Ladies First event is a way to both raise funds to support Circles of Care while also giving women a chance to experience different healing modalities for their own care journey. There's also childcare on-site, so moms can fully experience the event.
  • Ladies First is an open-house style event with a variety of ticketed workshops from Selah Space's provider network. So, for as little as $10, you can go and test out things like reiki, myofascial release therapy, breathwork and more. Proceeds from all of the workshops will benefit Circles of Care.
"The women in our community are taking care of everybody, and nobody takes care of them," said Jada Dobesh, founder of Selah Space. "This event gives us a chance to show women they have to take care of themselves if they want to take care of everybody else for the long haul."

Tell me more about the event

Ladies First will take place at Selah Space, 117 W. 39th St., on Saturday, June 6.

  • Sessions start at 7:45 with breathwork, and then it's a bit of a "choose-your-own-adventure" from there on out.

Available wellness sessions include:

  • A sound bath experience,
  • Post-partum planning consultations,
  • How understanding your Human Design Chart can help manage stress,
  • Energetic healing,
  • Group reiki,
  • Learning about dry needling as a way to heal your nervous system,
  • And taking a whole-person approach to women's mental health.

Throughout the day, there will also be various Selah Space providers around to chat with and learn from.

There will also be a silent auction featuring donated services from providers with proceeds benefitting Circles of Care. You don't need to be present at the event to participate in the silent auction.

The event concludes with a happy hour and parking lot party featuring mocktails and beer from Severance Brewing. The entire family is invited to attend – so feel free to let the kiddos run around and join the fun.

How can I get tickets?

You can buy tickets to the individual workshops you wish to attend – whether you want to swing by and try one thing or make it a full day of healing. Many workshops have a space limit, so be sure to get your tickets in advance.

I can't make the event but still want to support the mission
