Reiki teacher and womb doula, Cindy Bonaparte, will
facilitate a free Reiki Level I certification class for lower-income “women of
color” on Sunday, June 9 at Women’s True Healing (WTH), a center for holistic therapies
for female reproductive wellness in Redondo Beach, Calif. The class is made
possible by a Community Engagement Grant for Mental Health Awareness awarded to
Bonaparte by the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health.
The class is entitled “Ubuntu-Care Reiki I: Mending the
Heart-Womb Connection.”
Bonaparte (aka "The Womb Doula") credits a recent trip to Egypt with inspiring this
project: “’Ubuntu’ is a South African word that means ‘I am because we are.’ This
class is all about healing traumas that affect the womb, and healing that comes
through mutual caring.”'
