Our fast-paced autopilot world is stressful with multiple competing, complex, global, and conflicting demands. Many of us often feel like we are on autopilot. The Pause of Wonder & Awe can be a portal for Mindful Compassionate Self-Care. This mental health mini series invites you to join others desiring intentional practice time to RESET through the lens of beauty, gratitude, meditation, and compassion. Together we will explore various techniques that allow us to reset out hearts and minds. Each session will include guided meditation practices, group discussion and activities centered around fostering growth, resiliency, and overall wellbeing.
Although all three sessions are designed to complement each other, if you are unable to attend one of the sessions, do not let that be a barrier to your joining in the series. Each session limited to 60 participants.
