Associates for Community Education (A.C.E.)
We hold workshops, playshops, classes and lecture series, in the Labrys School for Self Healing Arts for Women and Girls. We publish a newsletter The Labrys Speaks, with copies and articles here on our web site. ACE is a 501c3. |
ACE is the non profit wing of the Labrys Healthcare Circle. We are dedicated to creating educational projects, which focus on women's health.
Women's health is a revolutionary act. Vital health brings clarity. With clarity we can work toward independence, and make positive choices in our lives. We can become healthy enough to be vibrant participants in our local, national and global community.
By prioritizing the concerns of women and girls we all become better agents of change in our lives and in the world. Our projects facilitate women and girls in gaining knowledge of their whole bodies—physical, emotional, spiritual, mental—and to provide tools to become healthier.
