“I meditate so that my mind cannot complicate my life” – Sri Chinmoy. This quote rings true to what meditation can do to help uncomplicate your life. Meditation can also reduce stress and anxiety while bringing your focus to the present rather than constantly worrying about the past or what’s going to happen in the future. Come join us and experience what meditation can do for you.

Understanding Shadow Work
2025-04-05 12:30 - 13:30
Understanding Shadow Work Saturday, April 5th 12:30-1:30
Shadow Work is working with your unconscious mind to uncover the parts of ourselves that we tend to repress and hide. This can include trauma or parts of our personality that we subconsciously find undesirable. Basically, shadow work works to reincorporate the parts of ourselves that we would not want to post on social media and working to bring those lost parts of the self back into the light and give them life again. It also looks at the things we have been using to get by as well.

heART Journeys - Art for Everyone
2025-03-29 12:30 - 13:30
Creative expression is good for the soul. Art can express our thoughts and feelings in color and images, rather than words. Art can also be an experience in relaxation and mindfulness, encouraging us to be in the present moment. As we paint and draw and color, we can learn to be comfortable with
imperfection, and with the process rather than the outcome. No art experience necessary!

Turning Trauma into Triumph - Part 2
2025-03-15 12:30 - 13:30
Turning Trauma into Triumph is a transformative workshop that explores how trauma shapes our perceptions, reactions, and presence in the world. Gain an understanding of how substance use, homelessness and relationships have been ways to survive trauma – deeply distressing or difficult experiences in your life. By learning how trauma affects the brain, our nervous system and our bodies, participants can learn strategies to rewire thought patterns, become self-aware and practice new responses. Self-awareness is key to recognizing trauma activations aka “triggers” and shifting from reactions to responses through intentional actions. This session provides tools to embrace trauma activations as opportunities for growth and healing. Join us to gain deeper insight, resilience, and empowerment on your journey.
