About W.O.W.
Background
According to national statistics, approximately 1 in 5 women experiences sexual assault at some point in their lives. The aftermath of assault has a profound impact on a woman’s emotional and mental well-being, and in turn affects how she shows up and contributes to her household, neighborhood and community.
Research indicates that survivors who receive empathy and understanding from friends, family, and professionals are more likely to navigate their healing journey successfully.

A Deeper Dive
About the Founder
A failed suicide attempt, divorce, death and depression is what prompted Tamika Davis Shelton to found Project W.O.W. and Essential Ascents, where survivors can find solace and connection with others who share similar experiences.
"Having suffered emotional, physical and sexual trauma myself, I embarked on a healing journey that allowed me to transform that pain into a unique platform that promotes inner healing through feminine expression. " TDS
My Heal, Elevate, Reactivate (H.E.R)

In this series, there are 6 sessions or levels of elevation which included ACE's (Adverse Childhood Experiences) tools and strategies that support your healing journey. The ascension is the rise in participants' personal vibration to connect more authentically to themselves. Operating in this space helps you find greater purpose for your life, remember sacred self promises and learn to love and honor the self.
Sensual Healing Experience (S.H.E)
Feminine safe space, body-positive, women centric journey and resource for sexual health, wellness and education (and Vagication, vaginal education) to heal, explore and express yourself. This is an encouraging experience in sensuality, sexuality, community and the next version of yourself. In this series, there are sessions or levels of elevation that you move through on what we call An Ascension Map. The ascension is the rise in participants' personal vibration to connect more sensually and authentically to themselves and their lover.
Sensuality
Studies show that 71% of women find it difficult to navigate sex and sexuality in a healthy manner after a traumatic event. Rather than shutting down and turning off the sensual part of self, Essential Ascents workshops encourage women to express their sexual selves in a structured, yet playful environment.
Healing from sexual trauma is a unique and personal journey, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Essential Ascents offers programming dedicated to helping women overcome the emotional, psychological and physical scars associated with sexual abuse and assault. Through workshops, seminars and online sessions, women (who may not be able to afford personal psychological or psychiatric treatment) can learn to explore their traumas, expunge the pain, gain tools and strategies for navigating life and heal.

Understanding meditation
According to the Mayo Clinic meditation has been around for thousands of years. Early meditation was meant to help deepen understanding of the sacred and mystical forces of life. These days, meditation is most often used to relax and lower stress.
Meditation is a type of mind-body complementary medicine. Meditation can help you relax deeply and calm your mind.
During meditation, you focus on one thing. You get rid of the stream of thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process can lead to better physical and emotional well-being.
Benefits of meditation
Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit your emotional well-being and your overall health. You also can use it to relax and cope with stress by focusing on something that calms you. Meditation can help you learn to stay centered and keep inner peace.
These benefits don't end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help take you more calmly through your day. And meditation may help you manage symptoms of some medical conditions.
