MINDFUL EATING BASICS: Second Tuesday of each month
Would you like to eat with more focus, instead of mindlessly munching? In this class, we’ll use fun, hands-on activities to explore mindful eating. Learn how to connect with your hunger and fullness, savor each bite, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for food. Join us in this mindful approach to food that nourishes both body and soul.
STRESS MANAGEMENT SKILLS FOR BALANCED LIVING: Fourth Tuesday of each month
In today’s fast-paced world, stress can take a toll on both our minds and bodies. This monthly support group offers a safe and welcoming space to explore practical tools for managing stress. Together, we’ll practice calming techniques like breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement, including chair yoga. Join us to nurture your well-being, build resilience, and find support in a caring community.
