The Friday Pause: fall mindfulness meditation series
Join us for this 6-week embodied mindfulness course that will help support you in developing/sustaining/deepening your mindful meditation practice. For beginners and more experienced practitioners, this series will also serve as a pop-up village of communal support and care. Simple and basic meditation instruction will be provided, as well as experiential teachings to help integrate the benefits of mindfulness into your busy life.
The series will support you in developing their capacity to be present, with openness, curiosity, and without judgment. We will gently and tenderly turn toward what's life affirming and what’s difficult in an embodied, trauma-informed way.
Topic will include:
basic mindfulness instruction,
working with difficult thoughts, emotions, sensations, and our inner critical one,
trauma-informed embodiment practices,
self acceptance and self compassion,
ways to integrate mindfulness into your active life.
Each session will include instruction and guided meditation, opportunities for check-ins and discussions, Q&A to get into the nitty gritty of your practice, and periods of silent practice.
The group will meet on the following Fridays, on Zoom, from 1-2pm EST:
10/2, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6
The cost of the series is $180.
Super bills are available for out of network benefits, HSA, and FSA reimbursement.
Invoices are available for professional write-offs.
There are spots available for a reduced fee. Please reach out to Amy if the cost of this course is prohibitive.
Nature Connection Gatherings
Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. - John Muir
Research shows that when we immerse ourselves in nature, our mood improves, our stress and anxiety decrease, the area of the brain associated with depression becomes less active, and we become more attentive and creative. In short, we feel better. When we gather with others to share our stories, we gain insights, make meaningful connections, and we find lost aspects of ourselves reflected back to us. These workshops are part forest bathing, part nature-based, pop-up village rites of passage experiences. Come join us as we plant our feet on this earth and let nature invite us in. Contact Amy to learn about future offerings or interest. Amy is also available for private nature immersion and forest bathing experiences.
