Fearless Events

Join us for a meetup of folks who have dealt with narcissists. By narcissist, we mean any toxic parent, spouse, significant other. If you regularly or semi-regularly have a phone number come up on your screen that makes your heart race and your stomach flip before you even know what the call is about, you might want to come. All are welcome, even those who have dated and been in relationships with narcissists. Our focus will be ourselves, not the toxic person. The purpose is to support, encourage, and uplift one another. We are not therapists and we are not here to tell each other what to do. We are here to honor one another and, baby step by baby step, change our narratives. This is a monthly meetup, every Third Thursday from 5:15 – 6:30pm.

The full moon is a powerful time to gather in circle with other conscious women. Sister circles are an ancient practice known for connection, healing, and transformation. In this monthly circle we will talk, listen, meditate and move in ways that anchor our intentions and allow us to release what no longer serves us.

Full moon circles are a time to reflect on our New Moon intentions, speak new intentions aloud in sacred space, gain clarity on what needs to be released to make room for what’s new. This is a time for deep listening, from within and without.

This is the time for acknowledging and synchronizing with the rhythm, energy, and cycles of our planet, amplifying our ability to manifest our hearts desires. Gathering in circle with other women is empowering and rejuvenating, and is an essential part of our emotional and spiritual well-being.

**Please bring your favorite shawl and cushion with you to circle. If you don’t have a shawl, we will have extras!**

Come on out for a craft night at Fearless!

This event is free. We just ask that you consider bringing 1) a snack to share and/or 2) a donation of feminine hygiene products for the Homeless Period Project.

See you there!

Eating locally-grown food isn’t as hard as you might think, especially in a beautiful place like Winston-Salem, where local farmers abound and the climate is so well-suited to growing your own food at home. If you want to make a healthy change in 2019 that will feel more like fun than a chore, join us for this donation-based workshop at Fearless.

I’ll walk you through some of the key things I’ve learned so far about garden planning, provide tips & tricks for creating an oasis you’ll love, and sprinkle in some tips of my family’s favorite places at eat & shop local in Winston! I’ll have samples, snacks, and recipe recommendations for all attendees to takeaway. Plus, there will be free seed catalogs & seed saving packets + a 10% off discount on seed purchases (all from my favorite seed place: Sow True Seed) for group attendees.

All gardeners, regardless of whether you’ve never gardened before or have been gardening for years, are welcome! We’ll learn from each other and have a great discussion!

Like choosing a bottle of wine, estate planning can be intimidating and may seem complicated. But I’m here to tell you that estate planning, like wine, is accessible and is for all of us. I will cover what it takes to set up a plan (a will, a healthcare power of attorney, and a durable power of attorney), what happens when you don’t set up a plan, and how to make decisions that are right for you. As a fun bonus, I will talk about some basics of choosing a bottle of wine so that you can walk into a store or restaurant and make your choice confidently. This will be a 45-minute session with an opportunity for questions and discussion.

The jacquard loom allows for control of every warp and weft yarn resulting in intricate pattern details. I’ll show dozens of beautiful fabrics in many styles, colorways, and repeat layouts. You’ll have a new vocabulary and understanding of the fibers, yarns, constructions, and weave structures that go into making fun and fancy jacquard upholstery.

Bio:
Marviette A. Usher is an empowering speaker and conscientious consultant from Houston, Texas who now resides in North Carolina. She passionately inspires, equips and supports women in discovering who they are in order to push past “life-happening” and transform themselves from the inside out. After receiving a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information Systems from the University of Houston-Downtown, Marviette spent 21 years as an Independent Application Software Developer Consultant for her client Chevron Corporation of Houston. Because of her dedication to empower, inspire and impact women, Marviette made a conscious decision to LEAP: leaving her corporate consulting career to help those women who mute their desires, muffle their success and neglect their longings. This LEAP resulted in Marviette A. Usher: Developing Phenomenal Women Inside & Out. Usher’s work with the organization she founded, Phenomenal Woman and with her entrepreneurial mentorship program King’s Daughters has impacted the lives of more than 1000 women both directly and indirectly. From providing services at the local homeless shelter to working with business owners and ministry leaders, she mentors formal and informal leaders ready to embrace their greatness. Marviette’s ultimate desire is to see strong, independent women experience an abundantly fulfilled life and unveil any hidden talents, gifts and abilities to create their own wealth. Marviette’s clients lovingly refer to her as going from an I.T. Consultant to being the “IT” Consultant for women. As an Image Consultant, Fashion Designer and Mary Kay Car Driving Sales Director, Marviette uses her keen insight to help individuals and groups present their best outward appearance as they strive for greater confidence in transforming their inner existence.
