What Sisters at the Shore does
Mission
Nature is healing. We strive to encourage, support, uplift, and motivate each other. We are introducing Nature as an outlet to reduce stress in our daily lives, while also providing a support group. Since our inception, we have evolved to start offering workshops on Gun Violence, Domestic Violence and Suicide Prevention and beyond. Through our comprehensive workshops, we provide essential education, resources, and support to underserved communities. By fostering dialogue, and teaching coping skills and conflict resolution, we strive to create safer, more harmonious environments for all. We welcome men and women from all walks of life, setting aside religious beliefs and nationalities. Our common denominator is Love and our collective passion is to pray for one another, our communities and the Nation(s). We encourage everyone to take time out to be silent before the Water as MNI WICONI (Water is Life) which is a reoccurring phrase you will hear often in our dialogues.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
