Oxytocin, otherwise known as the ‘bonding’ hormone plays an important part in human bonding and positive emotions. Hugging, kissing, cuddling, and sexual intimacy can all trigger oxytocin production, which can strengthen bonds between adults (www.healthline.com).
A lot of oxytocin is released at our real life events! So, we were absolutely thrilled to finally be free to hold our first Wine and Wellness Evening since the onset of COVID-19 and subsequent isolation restrictions in 2020.
We gathered on February 26th followed by another event in March, and the excitement was visible in our hugs, our smiles, and our spiritual intimacy with each other, even if you were new to our community.
Our strength is in community and we believe we are stronger together than we are alone. When our individual energies are unleashed, we can power up the entire group, therefore our theme for our first event for 2021 was ‘Rising Up’.
Each speaker took to the stage to share her story and how she rose like the phoenix out of the ashes to bounce back from those down times and hard knocks. In the stories of others we find our own, and this is reassuring as we learn we are not alone in our stressors and struggles in life.
We also learned new tools as our speakers shared how they dug themselves out from the hole of self doubt and depths of despair, to become healed and whole again. Also reassuring, because if they can do it, we can do it too. 2020 was an experience that showed us old ways of ‘doing’ and ‘being’ in the world are coming to an end. Old systems and constructs are breaking down and it’s time for innovation, creativity, and new ways of doing things. Some of the descriptive comments from the evening included “inspiring”, “fantastic”, “bonding”, “fun”.
