HeART Journeys – Art for Everyone
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!

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.

Boundaries or Burnout?

Boundaries or Burnout? Saturday, August 3rd 12:30-1:30
Join us for a conversation about noticing the body and allowing it to tell you about its limits. This class is a must for anyone who says ‘yes’ too often, who is physically uncomfortable saying ‘no’, who believes they can defy human limits and save the world, who feels guilty when they can’t make others happy, who takes on too much, or who believes kindness is synonymous with service. Let’s uncover and face the reasons boundary keeping is so dang difficult.

Addiction and the Brain Saturday, August 17th 12:30-1:30
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.
