Mindfulness Practices for Self-Care – Virtual
Mindfulness is the act of paying attention and being aware of the present moment – internally and externally – in the here and now. Mindfulness practices help us to live fully in the present moment, to observe our thoughts and feelings free of judgment. In this workshop, we will gain a better understanding about mindfulness and the use of different tools for coping with grief and attunement to the present.
Meeting Wednesday, April 24th on Zoom, 3pm (PT)/ 4pm (MST)/ 5pm (CT)/ 6pm (EST)
Suggested Donation: $20

Take a Pause… With Healing Laughter – Virtual
with Eileen Wolfington
We invite you to take a pause… to come up for some air from your grief. It can feel challenging to access laughter during tragedy in our lives. And we welcome you to a supportive and gentle space with Eileen to explore breathing exercises, childlike play, and a little pause from the heaviness of our grief.
Laughter, coupled with varied movement and Yogic breathing brings oxygen to our body and brain making you feel healthier and more energetic and can help when we’re feeling “stuck” emotionally. No traditional yoga poses are used and no experience is required.
Suggested Donation $20 Registration is required.
All are welcome!

Intro to TRE Workshop
with Jessica Carpenter, LMT, C-IATY, TRE PROVIDER
This in-depth intro class covers Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®). These simple exercises can assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and the physical effects of trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating which has a calming effect on the nervous system. TRE is designed to be a self-help tool that once learned, can be used to promote resiliency and better autonomic nervous system regulation.
Cost: $20 Registration is required.
All are welcome!
Upcoming date: Saturday June 1st
Time: 4:00pm-6:00pm at HeartLight Center
Healing with Horses
A unique offering for those who have experienced the death of a loved one. Allow yourself this gift to get outdoors and interact with horses who can support you on your grief journey. Horses are non-judgmental beings who model and invite humans to become present and honest with our feelings, emotions, and thoughts. They are excellent communicators and listeners who respond to what they receive from us, making them great mirrors for our learning, growth, and healing. *No prior horse experience is needed, we will engage with the horses safely on the ground.
