There's a small wooden target ball (the cochonnet), which you have to get as close as possible to. What makes the game so appealing, is that you can be way ahead for a while, yet lose a second later, or vice versa. Because not …

This group will be a gathering of women who would like to journey on a path towards healing and reclaiming their feminine nature. Each of us contains our own individual wounding, but as women, many of us inherited these deep wounds to our divine feminine.
