Finding Ease through Mindfulness, Movement and Story
Breathe It Out; Move It Out; Talk It Out
In this program, we will focus on our mind-body connection and explore ways to have more ease in our lives. With this intention, we will share our personal stories, move and engage with each other in playful ways.
This program is based in affirmation and looking for the good. Our shared, safe space will encourage us to explore our own creativity, find our own answers, and explore practices that enhance our life experience.
Creative movement forms can happen standing and moving within a small space or from a sitting position. Movement can also happen with our videos on or off. You are encouraged to take care of yourself and only participate at your comfort level. All are welcome.
Finding Ease through Mindfulness, Movement and Story will be offered monthly on the 3rd Thursday from 5:30 – 7:00pm ET.
Participants are encouraged to drop-in for any monthly session. Limited to 12 participants.
Upcoming Dates:
- September 15
- October 20
- November 17
- December 15
