Experience deep rest and self-inquiry. Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep, is a state of consciousness between waking and sleep where the body is completely relaxed and the attention is guided to the experience of Being. Participants are encouraged to come into a comfortable position either seated or laying down, supported by props as desired, and are guided through meditation into a state of deep relaxation and restoration. Includes self-reflection exercises, please bring a journal.

This group focuses on the discovery and development of your empathic self in a welcoming and supportive environment.

This group meets monthly, and is structured as a 3-part educational series for new participants during the first hour, followed by an ongoing process group for new and seasoned group members alike in the second hour. Once you have been through all 3 educational sessions you are considered an alumni and are welcome to continue attending the process group as a resource for ongoing sharing and support.

April is Part 1 and will be focused on different types of empathy, guided self-assessment of your empathic styles, building awareness of how you use your empathic abilities every day.

With the hustle and bustle of daily life, it can be challenging to take care of you. This workshop will provide an opportunity to explore your level of self-care through a variety of exercises. Participants will leave with increased self-compassion and motivation to improve their level of self-care within their day to day life.
