La Sua Speranza – A Group Meditation
“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.

Roots in Recovery: An Experiential Breathwork Journey
2024-11-16 12:30 - 13:30
Roots in Recovery: An Experiential Breathwork Journey Saturday, November 16th 12:30-1:30 Healing from addiction is a journey of reconnection—to yourself, your feelings, and the world around you. In recovery, learning how to feel without numbing or suppressing is crucial. In this class, you’ll discover how breath can help you safely reconnect with your emotions, release trauma, and open up new pathways of healing that traditional methods often can’t access. Breathwork offers a way to process emotions while fostering that deep reconnection to yourself and your world. This shared experience of breath and healing can be the key to maintaining your recovery, supporting you with cultivating the felt sense of safety, unity, and belonging that is essential.

Come learn how self-compassion weaves together mindfulness, kindness to self, and participating in our common humanity. Leave this session with a self-compassion exercise you can take with you and use anytime.

HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone
2024-10-26 12:30 - 13:30
HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone Saturday, October 26th 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!
