Florey's Book Co. invites you to a multi-week discussion group based on 'Singing with the Sirens', with author Ellyn Bell.
***Sunday, October 11th, 2-4pm***
From Ellyn:
Numerous women and men have suffered sexual abuse, exploitation or other sexual traumas as children. As a result, many people struggle with various issues around self worth, power and value in adulthood.
Singing with the Sirens addresses the long term effects of child sexual exploitation on women's lives, and how to embark upon a journey toward wholeness through healing and finding the lost voice of long ago.
Come to a group discussion with the authors of this book as we read and discuss chapter by chapter the content and the ability we all have to transform childhood pain and shame into grace and strength. This is a discussion group for anyone interested in the topic.
About Ms. Bell:
Ellyn Bell has worked as an organizational leader with at-risk and marginalized youth and addressing violence against women and children for 20 years. Her personal experiences as a youth informed her career choices. She was most recently, the Executive Director of the SAGE Project in San Francisco, one of the first peer-led organizations in the country to work with human trafficking and commercially exploited youth and adults. She holds a Master’s Degree in Religion, with an emphasis in Theology. She also received her social work license in the State of Iowa. Ellyn is also a yoga teacher and a trained dancer.
