Thriving to Help our Community: Chilled Chicks and GoFundMe

Despite our name we’re well aware that it isn’t easy to be a chilled person in today’s world!

Chilled Chicks is an innovative new company that uses group settings and art activities that create opportunities for women  to support each other, create community and get to know and appreciate themselves better. Research has shown that when people are connected to community, they have a higher motivation to support it and continue to grow within it. We also know that using the creative parts of our brains lends to a higher efficiency of learning and applying new concepts. When one woman has increased capacity in her life, through strength awareness and positive language, she passes this on to other women who pass it on to their families. It is a domino effect of change. We’ve seen it happen! We’d like to put that in action.

Who are we?

We are a trio of women with varying backgrounds and loads of experience – social work, education, art and holistic healing . We have created unique workshops that educate about self-esteem, self-awareness and storytelling, employing a one of a kind blend of western and eastern philosophies.  This process guides people through an enlightening morning of education, connection and an afternoon of accessible art to integrate the morning’s teachings.

In short, our mission is to support women and benefit everyone in our communities! We aim to do this with:

●       Workshops like Everyday Supehero, Uniquely You, Skilss for Serentiy, and Art offerings like Magic Mandalas and Spirit Medicine bags. www.chilledchicks.com/retreats

●       Custom tailored workshops for each group’s needs no matter who they are in every sector of our population – corporate team building, organizations, family or friend events as well as schools

●     Education and Art that anyone can wrap a paintbrush or pencil crayon around (yes, even you : )

●    Daily inspiration and motivation on our Facebook Page , Our Blog ,Pinterest, Brandiland  and Twitter

●       We use a percentage of our profits to support non-profit organizations
