Two seatings
A difficult conversation, held with clarity, dignity, and care.
A quiet, beautiful space for women leading impact
This afternoon tea is for the woman who wants more than slogans, more than assumptions, and more than a simplified cultural script.
It is an invitation to step into a private, beautiful space where abortion is considered with clarity, dignity, and care. This is a room not for pressure, shame, or debate, but for thoughtful teaching and reflection.
If you have ever sensed there is more to the story than what culture has allowed, this afternoon was created with you in mind.
What this afternoon is about
Many women have been given a settled way to think about abortion, but fewer have been invited to consider its fuller impact. It is worth pausing to ask where our views have come from, and what may be missing when certain stories, experiences, and questions are rarely brought into the room.
This gathering offers space to reflect on what is often left out of public conversations, so we can better understand, honour, and support women with greater clarity, compassion, and care.
Ahava
AHAVA MEANS LOVE
Ahava is the Hebrew word for love. At its core, it means "to give."
In the Hebraic tradition, love is not merely an emotion we feel, but an action we choose. It is the active, intentional giving of oneself to another.
At the heart of this gathering is ahava: a commitment to offer women truth without pressure, dignity without compromise, and care without conditions.
Five Themes Toward the Full Picture
A journey through what is often left unsaid.

The Life Often Left Out
Making room to consider what science and medicine reveal about what is happening in the womb.
03
The Woman Beyond the Decision
Seeing her heart, mind, body, soul, relationships, future and legacy.
04
The Questions Worth Asking
Exploring what becomes visible when we move beyond simplified narratives.

YOUR HOST
Mirtha A. Coronel
Why Mirtha is leading this gathering
Mirtha A. Coronel is the founder of ABORTIONHEALING.CA, a growing body of work originally created around her book Abortion Healing: 31-Day Start to Your Recovery & Spiritual Growth.
Drawing from lived experience, professional leadership, and her own journey toward healing and clarity, she helps women explore what is often left unspoken about abortion.
Her approach is thoughtful, compassionate, and free from pressure. She creates private spaces where women can listen, reflect, and consider the impact abortion may have on the heart, mind, body, soul, relationships, identity, and well-being.
Mirtha is leading this conversation because she believes women deserve more than a narrow cultural script. They deserve the opportunity to see more, understand more, and consider the full picture.
The setting matters
The room matters because the women in the room matter.
Some conversations are best held in a setting that communicates beauty, privacy, and care. Linen, porcelain, soft florals, and warm light are not decoration; they are part of how this conversation is honoured.

Ahava Always
Maybe the conversation has been too narrow.
Women have been told abortion is settled, simple, and empowering. But many are still carrying questions, grief, confusion, or quiet concern that culture has not made room for.
Maybe you have seen it in someone you love.
Maybe you have wondered why something described as healthcare can still leave a woman’s heart, body, relationships, or sense of self so deeply affected.
And maybe, without realizing it, you have avoided the conversation because it felt too political, too painful, or too hard to enter.
Ahava Always Afternoon Tea: The Full Picture gives you a different way in.
A private, beautiful, women-focused room where you can broaden the lens, consider what is often left unsaid, and sit with the full-person impact of abortion with truth, dignity, and care.
No pressure.
No public debate.
No personal disclosure required.
Just space to ask better questions.
For yourself.
For the women you love.
For the women you lead, work with, serve, and influence.
