Metamorphosis: Holistic Wellness Center LLC

A Campaign for Dignity

Metamorphosis: Holistic Wellness Center LLC
“ Women are going to form a chain, a greater sisterhood than the world has ever known.”- Nellie L. McClung
Metamorphosis: Holistic Wellness Center LLC, located in the Historic District of Columbia Tusculum is dedicated to changing the lives of people in the Greater Cincinnati area. Within our walls, we host a variety of programs dedicated to the body, mind and spirit. One of our most cherished programs is our Sisterhood Circle, in which women come together to do the work of the Divine Feminine. On the last Thursday of every month we meet to provide light, love and service to each other, as well as to the City of Cincinnati through our outreach programs. In a difficult world, it is easy to have your light dimmed by the pain and suffering around us. Our Sisterhood Circle meets to re-fill the well of life that lives deep in the womb of all women.
Each quarter we develop an outreach program to meet the needs of women within our city. Upon seeing a video on social media regarding how women manage their monthly menstrual cycle while living in deplorable and homeless conditions, I knew we had to help. Kristy Meineke- Brandabur, Owner of Metamorphosis and Sisterhood Facilitator, dedicated the Fall project to reaching out to women temporarily experiencing homelessness in our community. Upon meeting in our October Circle, we planned our November / December program as an outreach to provide a campaign for dignity to the women of Cincinnati temporarily experiencing homelessness by providing feminine hygiene products, bras and underpants.
One of our Sisters had previously participated in projects with Bethany House and Tamar’ s Place, therefore we had a direct connection to these locations within the City of Cincinnati. Bethany House Services( BHS) empowers homeless and at-risk families with solutions to achieve housing stability and long-term self-sufficiency and Tamar’ s Place is a safe haven of support, empowerment, and hope for women engaged in prostitution who struggle with the disease of addiction. As we set our sites on our quest, our sisters reached out via social media, friends and family to coordinate efforts to collect the products in need. The outpouring from the community has been

amazing. Our sisters have been amazing. Volunteering their time and hearts, they picked up donations from those unable to drop off at Metamorphosis. A collection box was placed on the deck at Metamorphosis, where people could drop off supplies at their convenience. We currently have approximately 20 large bags of feminine products and undergarments. A wonderful donation, but not nearly enough to provide help to all of the women in our homeless community. Clearly, this is monthly issue for these women, so if you care to donate products, we will gladly accept throughout the year, and will make this a permanent donation opportunity for our Circle.
If you are interested in donating to our campaign of dignity, please feel free to contact Kristy Meineke-Brandabur at 513-235-7567. We also have a drop-off bin on the deck of Metamorphosis: Holistic Wellness Center. Our Sisters are also more than happy to come pick up donations from your home or business.“” Women working together weave a tapestry that nothing can penetrate. We are strong, fearless, and loyal. We are gentle, compassionate and willing.” stated Kristy Meineke-Brandabur. If you are interested in joining our Sisterhood Circle, we meet the last Thursday of every month for the new moon, at 6:30pm. All women are welcome.
