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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/sc-writes-a-place-for-radical-writing-2/ CATEGORIES:Arts & Creativity,Writing,Classes & Workshops LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83108634604 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260915T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260915T080000 DTSTAMP:20260727T162206Z CREATED:20260512T140534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260727T162206Z UID:10001282-1789457400-1789459200@smithcenter.org 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.

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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/sc-writes-a-place-for-radical-writing-3/ CATEGORIES:Arts & Creativity,Writing,Classes & Workshops LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83108634604 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261013T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261013T080000 DTSTAMP:20260727T162206Z CREATED:20260512T140534Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260727T162206Z UID:10001286-1791876600-1791878400@smithcenter.org 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.

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.
