Now in its seventeenth year, this gathering at Circles of Wisdom supports the 6th Annual Season of Giving Campaign. The intention is to cultivate a warm, loving space where participants can experience healing, connection, and inner calm. The With Love and Gratitude team shares healing energy throughout the session while Cris channels within an atmosphere of compassion and presence. In this shared field, Kimberley Anderson and Leslie Gabriele help guide individualized messages that may draw from Spirit Guides, Ancestors, Angels, Loved Ones, and the Akashic Records, opening a deeper link with the spiritual realm so each person can receive guidance that supports life in the here and now. Cris Perro brings through the energy of love to offer heartfelt messages and healing. Kimberley Anderson amplifies light and encourages others to feel and embody it. Leslie Gabriele works intuitively in the moment as an energetic catalyst and is the founder of With Love and Gratitude. The wider team is a group of devoted lightworkers focused on uplifting spiritual growth. In addition, Circles of Wisdom is partnering for the sixth consecutive year with Debbie’s Treasure Chest and With Love and Gratitude to provide holiday gifts for two local families.
