Durango Chiropractor To Offer Healing Workshops

Durango chiropractor Keneen McNiven will offer a women-only workshop based on the Vagina Monologues, now on stage as part of Women’s History Month.

Feminist Voice, a Fort Lewis College student organization, will present the Vagina Monologues on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, March 29-31, in the FLC Ballroom. Showtime is 7 p.m.

Dr. McNiven will offer a follow-up workshop from 9 a.m. to Noon on Saturday, March 31, and again from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday, April 2, both at the Smiley Studio 10 Collective. Dr. McNiven will accept a suggested donation of $15 to benefit the Women’s Resource Center.

The Vagina Monologues is a series of monologues written by Eve Ensler based on the interviews she conducted with 200 women about their views on sex, relationships, and violence against women. Dr. McNiven’s workshop will include a woman’s circle, journaling, and yoga to give local women an opportunity to support each other and share their experiences in a safe and encouraging environment.

Dr. McNiven is a gentle chiropractor specializing in women’s issues. She is also an Anusara-inspired Yoga teacher, a student of the Diamond Heart Spiritual School and has been meditating for 30 years. She is currently working on a number of books. Following her own heart-breaking and traumatic sexual experience several years ago, Keneen has studied with powerful healers who have helped her move from “heart-broken” to “heart-broken-open.”

Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged by contacting Dr. McNiven at 970-403-3262 or at [email protected].
