Upcoming Events
Join us every Monday for Mindful Mondays!
Every Monday will be a different mindfulness practice such as meditation, mindful movement, loving-kindness meditation, and many more. Mindfulness has been scientifically proven to help us cope with life’s stressors. Some of the benefits include anxiety reduction, enhanced sleep, improved mood, and increased ability to focus.
No previous experience necessary and great for beginners. Participants will receive an essential oil roller to carry their mindfulness practice with them wherever they are.
Learn the theories and strategies behind bystander intervention, and gain the confidence to step up and intervene or provide help to someone who may be in harms way or in need of comfort.
Participants will receive a FREE t-shirt!
Quick Bites is a brief, virtual lunch and learn series on Zoom with our RDN, Jody Margolis, who will cover various nutrition hot topics. You’ll have the opportunity to ask the expert and expand your nutritional knowledge.
