“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.

HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone
2025-01-25 12:30 - 13:30
HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone Saturday, January 25th 12:30-1:30
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!

Sound healing uses instruments like singing bowls, chimes and gongs to encourage a meditative state promoting present-moment awareness to help manage the stress and anxiety that often accompany addiction recovery.
