True Body Project for Teens With Kami Lerma July 19
2021-07-19 18:00 - 20:00
Growing up in this world is stressful and overwhelming, and it gets even harder when we have to deal with healing from difficult and hurtful experiences. Stress and overwhelm affects our relationships with family and friends, it affects how we do in school, and especially affects our self-image. It gets hard to figure out how to manage our thoughts and emotions and make decisions that are good for us and help us feel better, but there are things that we can do to make it easier, and they are fun and aren’t that hard to do.
True Body Project is a different way to look at wellness. We spend our time moving our bodies (think taking walks, dancing, and yoga), making crafts, and taking some time to talk about life (or not talk about life – you get to decide how much you share). We also try out meditation, and you’ll learn how to do it in a simple easy way. It’s all about exploring, so no need to have experience in any of these things already. It’s all about fun, and can help you feel more relaxed, help you think more clearly, and overall make you feel better.

Healing Drum Circle July 24
2021-07-24 11:00 - 12:30
Many cultures around the world for many centuries have recognized the power of drumming as a healing force. Drumming and rattling connect us with the Earth’s natural energies, grounding us and centering us so we feel safe and secure and at home. Drumming helps release old stuck energies and trauma from the body and the mind. Research verifies that we benefit tremendously from the actions and rhythms of drumming and the feeling of connection created in the group. Drumming is a non-verbal form of communication & self-expression that supports participants in socializing without anxiety. These actions decrease stress & improve mood while helping to heal old trauma by participating in healthy non-stressful interactions. Learn to let go of old patterns in a safe supportive environment. Tisa McGraw your facilitator has been a musician & vocalist her whole life, is trained a Shamanic drummer/singer, has been working with trauma healing drum/voice groups for over 20 years & is a former social worker
Participants may choose one or both classes. Includes lecture on the scientific research to support trauma healing using rhythms, an explanation of how to drum, basic structure for the group to support each other and experience hands-on drumming.

Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, BE Yourself
No matter your life story or current circumstances, you have great potential to live an inspired, joy-filled life. It all begins with getting to know yourself — your true self — and learning to let go of the parts of your past and present that are holding you back, weighing you down, or just getting in your way of moving forward. That place of wellness and healing allows you to grow and be a person who is confident, expressive, and happy.
In this small group workshop series, we will explore holistic wellness practices in a safe, supportive environment that will allow you to tap into healing at your own pace. We will explore energy work and mind-body work along with mindfulness practices that allow for relaxation, clarity, and connection. This may allow for improved stress management, productivity, and decision making in your everyday life.

In this series of classes we will work with processing techniques used in Somato-Emotional release – a style of bodywork that helps us release trauma & old unprocessed emotions from the body & mind. The group will work together learning to process & release stuck emotions & stuck energy in a safe supportive environment. You will learn to unpack, unravel & understand how early life trauma is affecting your life now. Using simple, safe, effective methods that slow us down & give us time to respond instead of reacting when we are triggered. What started in the past can now be finished in the present. Empower yourself to take care of you when things get rough. Tisa McGraw, your facilitator for this class has been a massage therapist/bodyworker for over 30 years with previous experience as a social worker; now a life coach specializing in holistic supportive techniques for trauma recovery.
