Monthly Guided Meditation with Laura Indigo
Join us the first Monday evening of each month for a grounding guided meditation led by Laura Indigo. We’ll connect, set intentions for the month ahead, and learn different approaches to our practice. The meditation is delivered via Zoom on the first Monday of each month from 7:00 to 8:15. It’s a wonderful way to tap into our parasympathetic systems to help us drift off to sound sleep.

Mindful Movement with Derek Notman
Wednesdays @ 10:00AM • ZOOM
QiGong- Qi: “subtle breath” or “vital energy” and Gong: “skill cultivated through steady practice”.
This Program in Mindful Movement can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one's mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound, and focused intent.
Physically, slow gentle qigong movements warm tendons, ligaments, and muscles; tonify vital organs and connective tissue; and promote circulation of body fluids (blood, synovial, lymph). Thousands of studies have shown qigong effective in helping to heal life challenges ranging from high blood pressure and chronic illness to emotional frustration, mental stress, and spiritual crisis.
