SUMMARY:Outside the Lines: Social Hour
DESCRIPTION:Outside the Lines Social Hour is an informal gathering and does not include a guided art exercise.  This monthly offering is intended for checking in\, catching up\, and connecting with others in the Outside the Lines community – whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting participants who are already active in the group. Participants are welcome to work on their own creative projects as we socialize. \n\n\n\nIf you are looking for a guided art workshop\, please join us on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.  It’s listed on our calendar as Outside the Lines (without “Social Hour”). \n\n\n\nOutside the Lines is held Bi-Monthly on Wednesdays from 10:30am – 12:00pm ET. The Social Hour sessions will only run from 10:30 – 11:30am ET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Cancer Support Program Director | Program Facilitator and Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Kiersten Gallagher\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Energy Balancing
DESCRIPTION:Our Energy Balancing Program addresses the subtle energies of our body. When these energies are out of balance\, all our body systems can become askew. One key to bringing us back into balance is deep relaxation. This is just what our volunteers provide – a half-hour of stress reducing relaxation to calm the body and enhance our well-being.  \n\n\n\nMost likely you are familiar with many of the body’s systems such as the respiratory system\, the digestive system\, the endocrine system\, the skeletal system and so on. But are you aware that we also have subtle energy systems\, systems that cannot be seen\, cannot be measured\, cannot be felt. Perhaps you know of some; the most familiar are the aura (also known as the biofield)\, the meridians\, the chakras.  \n\n\n\nThese subtle energy systems were very familiar to the ancients. They used them regularly to bring the body into energetic balance. When the body’s energies are in balance\, we function at a higher vibration and are more relaxed\, more joyful\, more centered and able to enjoy life more productively. Many of the age-old techniques are now being used to bring calm to the body and to optimize one’s well-being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnergy Balancing is offered Weekly on Thursdays in 1/2 hour appointments. \n\n\n\nBy appointment only.  \n\n\n\nTime slots: \n\n\n\n\n1:00-1:30pm\n\n\n\n2:20-2:50pm\n\n\n\n\nThe Energy Balancing team continues to offer distance sessions.

SUMMARY:Energy Balancing
DESCRIPTION:Our Energy Balancing Program addresses the subtle energies of our body. When these energies are out of balance\, all our body systems can become askew. One key to bringing us back into balance is deep relaxation. This is just what our volunteers provide – a half-hour of stress reducing relaxation to calm the body and enhance our well-being.  \n\n\n\nMost likely you are familiar with many of the body’s systems such as the respiratory system\, the digestive system\, the endocrine system\, the skeletal system and so on. But are you aware that we also have subtle energy systems\, systems that cannot be seen\, cannot be measured\, cannot be felt. Perhaps you know of some; the most familiar are the aura (also known as the biofield)\, the meridians\, the chakras.  \n\n\n\nThese subtle energy systems were very familiar to the ancients. They used them regularly to bring the body into energetic balance. When the body’s energies are in balance\, we function at a higher vibration and are more relaxed\, more joyful\, more centered and able to enjoy life more productively. Many of the age-old techniques are now being used to bring calm to the body and to optimize one’s well-being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnergy Balancing is offered Weekly on Thursdays in 1/2 hour appointments. \n\n\n\nBy appointment only.  \n\n\n\nTime slots: \n\n\n\n\n1:00-1:30pm\n\n\n\n2:20-2:50pm\n\n\n\n\nThe Energy Balancing team continues to offer distance sessions.

SUMMARY:Health\, Aging and Sensuality Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Are you in touch with your sensual self or have you lost\, or maybe never had\, that connection? This interactive session will explore sensuality as defined by each participant and uncover what factors change the definitions as we mature.  \n\n\n\nUsing guided imagery that incorporates the various senses\, basic drawing (no artistic skills are needed)\, writing prompts\, and group discussion\, we’ll get in touch with the body narratives that have influenced our life progression as well as explore how health; relationships with family\, friends\, partners\, and physicians and; other factors play a role in how we disconnect with\, or never even know\, our sensual self.  \n\n\n\nSome tips for how to get in touch with the sensual being within will also be shared.  \n\n\n\nPlease have paper or a journal\, some colorful markers or crayons\, and be ready to have a lively conversation! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Creativity Program Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Tina Scott Lassiter\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Outside the Lines
DESCRIPTION:Creative expression has often been used in the healing process and it is at the core of Smith Center’s philosophy\, but fear of judgment and “not being an artist” can often prevent us from tapping into its healing power. Join us for Outside the Lines\, where a facilitator will help you reclaim art-making as a healing tool through guided creative projects. Participants who feel comfortable working on their own projects are also welcome to do so. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Cancer Support Program Director | Program Facilitator and Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Kiersten Gallagher\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Mindful Musings
DESCRIPTION:This class offers an inviting approach to mindfulness practice by blending meditation with the reflective power of journaling. Each session includes gentle breathwork and a guided meditation designed to help participants center their thoughts and relax theirbodies. \n\n\n\nAfter the meditation\, participants are given dedicated time for a guided journaling exercise. This practice encourages mindful processing of the insights\, emotions\, and experiences that arise during meditation. The combination of quiet introspection\, expressive writing\, and optional group discussion creates a meaningful opportunity to foster connection and build community. \n\n\n\nOpen to all experience levels\, the class provides a supportive\, non-judgmental space for exploration. Participants will leave with practical tools for bringing mindfulness and self-reflection into their daily lives. \n\n\n\nHow to Register \n\n\n\nYou have two options to join: \n\n\n\n\nEvent Registration – Sign up for a specific class date that works for you\n\n\n\nMonthly Passes – Enroll for a full month of sessions\n\n\n\n\nChoose what fits your schedule best — join us for one session or commit to the full experience! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Movement and Meditation Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Phebe Duff\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Canceled - In-Person Energy Balancing
DESCRIPTION:There will not be appointments on Thursday\, April 16th.\n\n\n\nOur Energy Balancing Program addresses the subtle energies of our body. When these energies are out of balance\, all our body systems can become askew. One key to bringing us back into balance is deep relaxation. This is just what our volunteers provide – 45 minutes of stress reducing relaxation to calm the body and enhance our well-being. \n\n\n\nMost likely you are familiar with many of the body’s systems such as the respiratory system\, the digestive system\, the endocrine system\, the skeletal system and so on. But are you aware that we also have subtle energy systems\, systems that cannot be seen\, cannot be measured\, cannot be felt. Perhaps you know of some; the most familiar are the aura (also known as the biofield)\, the meridians\, the chakras. \n\n\n\nThese subtle energy systems were very familiar to the ancients. They used them regularly to bring the body into energetic balance. When the body’s energies are in balance\, we function at a higher vibration and are more relaxed\, more joyful\, more centered and able to enjoy life more productively. Many of the age-old techniques are now being used to bring calm to the body and to optimize one’s well-being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Program Facilitator                                                 \,                                             \n                                            Sylvia Sturm\, EEM-CLP\, RM/T\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

Many of the age-old techniques are now being used to bring calm to the body and to optimize one’s well-being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Program Facilitator                                                 \,                                             \n                                            Sylvia Sturm\, EEM-CLP\, RM/T\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                            \n                                        \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Program Facilitator                                                 \,                                             \n                                            Anne Molofsky\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                            \n                                        \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Program Facilitator                                                 \,                                             \n                                            Margaret Haggerty\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Program Facilitator                                                 \,                                             \n                                            Pat Spellman\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:SC Writes: A Place for Radical Writing
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: This month\, the session is from 1:30-3:00pm ET on Zoom.\n\n\n\nWherever you are on life’s journey\, there are times when it can feel impossible to commit to a recurring program like a workshop series. Radical Writing Space is our answer to this conundrum of wanting to attend for some radical self-care\, but struggling to commit. \n\n\n\nClinical studies have documented the healing psychological and psychical impacts of writing within a safe and sacred space. On the second Friday of each month\, drop in for one hour for Radical Writing Space and join us for inspiring writing prompts\, time to write\, and time to share with one another about your experience of putting your most radical emotions\, feelings\, and experiences on paper. \n\n\n\nThe part that makes this writing so “radical” is that we create a safe space for it all — raw feelings\, emotions\, experiences — and\, together\, we give voice to them in a supportive\, nonjudgmental environment. \n\n\n\nThis healing program offers a place for supporting one another and we stay clear of writing critique. Come and experience writing and sharing together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Cancer Support Program Director | Program Facilitator and Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Kiersten Gallagher\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Support Group Facilitator | Creativity Program Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Mindy Brodsky\, LCSW\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Morning Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Come together as an LGBTQIA+ community for a weekly morning meditation sit.  \n\n\n\nWe will settle in for a few minutes\, then meditation (guided and silence) for 20 minutes and end with around the virtual circle with a few words of gratitude. \n\n\n\nNote: Because this is an online sit\, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet\, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible. Participants may join by internet or via phone.  \n\n\n\nNo registration is required to join this program. Please join the meeting using the Zoom information below.  \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting \n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88468692145?pwd=U1lhSHBpdXpXS0N3QzBxOFNwdi9sQT09 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 884 6869 2145 \n\n\n\nPasscode: 917135 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Movement and Meditation Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Susan Salek\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Energy Balancing
DESCRIPTION:Our Energy Balancing Program addresses the subtle energies of our body. When these energies are out of balance\, all our body systems can become askew. One key to bringing us back into balance is deep relaxation. This is just what our volunteers provide – a half-hour of stress reducing relaxation to calm the body and enhance our well-being.  \n\n\n\nMost likely you are familiar with many of the body’s systems such as the respiratory system\, the digestive system\, the endocrine system\, the skeletal system and so on. But are you aware that we also have subtle energy systems\, systems that cannot be seen\, cannot be measured\, cannot be felt. Perhaps you know of some; the most familiar are the aura (also known as the biofield)\, the meridians\, the chakras.  \n\n\n\nThese subtle energy systems were very familiar to the ancients. They used them regularly to bring the body into energetic balance. When the body’s energies are in balance\, we function at a higher vibration and are more relaxed\, more joyful\, more centered and able to enjoy life more productively. Many of the age-old techniques are now being used to bring calm to the body and to optimize one’s well-being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnergy Balancing is offered Weekly on Thursdays in 1/2 hour appointments. \n\n\n\nBy appointment only.  \n\n\n\nTime slots: \n\n\n\n\n1:00-1:30pm\n\n\n\n2:20-2:50pm\n\n\n\n\nThe Energy Balancing team continues to offer distance sessions.

SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Morning Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Come together as an LGBTQIA+ community for a weekly morning meditation sit.  \n\n\n\nWe will settle in for a few minutes\, then meditation (guided and silence) for 20 minutes and end with around the virtual circle with a few words of gratitude. \n\n\n\nNote: Because this is an online sit\, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet\, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible. Participants may join by internet or via phone.  \n\n\n\nNo registration is required to join this program.

SUMMARY:Mindful Musings
DESCRIPTION:This class offers an inviting approach to mindfulness practice by blending meditation with the reflective power of journaling. Each session includes gentle breathwork and a guided meditation designed to help participants center their thoughts and relax theirbodies. \n\n\n\nAfter the meditation\, participants are given dedicated time for a guided journaling exercise. This practice encourages mindful processing of the insights\, emotions\, and experiences that arise during meditation. The combination of quiet introspection\, expressive writing\, and optional group discussion creates a meaningful opportunity to foster connection and build community. \n\n\n\nOpen to all experience levels\, the class provides a supportive\, non-judgmental space for exploration. Participants will leave with practical tools for bringing mindfulness and self-reflection into their daily lives. \n\n\n\nHow to Register \n\n\n\nYou have two options to join: \n\n\n\n\nEvent Registration – Sign up for a specific class date that works for you\n\n\n\nMonthly Passes – Enroll for a full month of sessions\n\n\n\n\nChoose what fits your schedule best — join us for one session or commit to the full experience! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Movement and Meditation Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Phebe Duff\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Energy Balancing
DESCRIPTION:Our Energy Balancing Program addresses the subtle energies of our body. When these energies are out of balance\, all our body systems can become askew. One key to bringing us back into balance is deep relaxation. This is just what our volunteers provide – a half-hour of stress reducing relaxation to calm the body and enhance our well-being.  \n\n\n\nMost likely you are familiar with many of the body’s systems such as the respiratory system\, the digestive system\, the endocrine system\, the skeletal system and so on. But are you aware that we also have subtle energy systems\, systems that cannot be seen\, cannot be measured\, cannot be felt. Perhaps you know of some; the most familiar are the aura (also known as the biofield)\, the meridians\, the chakras.  \n\n\n\nThese subtle energy systems were very familiar to the ancients. They used them regularly to bring the body into energetic balance. When the body’s energies are in balance\, we function at a higher vibration and are more relaxed\, more joyful\, more centered and able to enjoy life more productively. Many of the age-old techniques are now being used to bring calm to the body and to optimize one’s well-being. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnergy Balancing is offered Weekly on Thursdays in 1/2 hour appointments. \n\n\n\nBy appointment only.  \n\n\n\nTime slots: \n\n\n\n\n1:00-1:30pm\n\n\n\n2:20-2:50pm\n\n\n\n\nThe Energy Balancing team continues to offer distance sessions.
