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.

“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.

Addiction and the Brain
2025-04-12 12:30 - 13:30
Addiction and the Brain Saturday, April 12th 12:301:30
The disease model of addiction, which arose in the 1950s to counteract the view of addiction as a moral failing, is based on the observation that addiction involves biological changes in the brain. The brain alterations change the way the brain works—notably in the dopamine system—to create the craving, the progressive inability to exert control, and other dysfunctions associated with substance use.

Drumming circles offer numerous benefits, including stress reduction, improved mental and spiritual health, enhanced social skills, and a sense of community. They can also boost creativity, boost the immune system and promote non-verbal emotional expression, allowing individuals to release tension and express themselves. Drumming can also help participants enter a state of mindfulness and presence, allowing them to focus on the present moment.

Watercolor Painting
2025-05-03 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!

Beyond the 12 Steps with Victor Saturday May 17th 12:30-1:30 The 12 steps are often only seen as a commitment to weekly meetings and sponsorship. What they actually provide us is a spiritual growth plan to support us in creating a life that we love and enjoy. We call it recovery.
