Practical Mindfulness for Everyday Living
with Support Group

In our monthly group gatherings, we will discuss the benefits of a mindful approach to daily routines. The "bumps in the road," both large and small, that we face on a daily basis are opportunities to dig deeper into ourselves, to find a way to remain balanded amidst chaos.
You'll be led through guided visualizations and meditations, as well as provided with practical tools to get to the bottom of what triggers you, and why, to better work and flow with all that life brings.
