All groups and workshops are open to the community.

What we consume affects our mental and emotional health. Often people are consuming processed foods that wreak havoc on the body. If our gut is unhealthy, our mind will be also. Join Brittany Edie, along with Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, Michele Tasker to learn about the mind-gut connection and what you can do to improve your overall health. All supplies and light refreshments are included.

Come hike with us! This is a 1x/month FREE group providing the opportunity to create community while reducing stress, calming anxiety, and harnessing the power of positive psychology. 

Monthly Mental Health Hikes.

We live in a stress induced world. Our bodies are meant to operate out of the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response), however we are often stuck in the sympathetic nervous system (stress response). During this workshop you will learn quick, go-to techniques to shift your body from the stress response to the relaxation response. We will be joined by nurse and wellness advocate, Melissa Kichler, to create a personalized oil blend to help you stress less!

Date: TBD
Time: 4-8pm
Location: TBD

Gardening and Mental Health

God created an amazing world. Have you ever been so stressed out that you just stepped outside to get some fresh air, or took a walk in the woods and noticed how you felt afterwards? Nature heals. Come learn about how and why nature shifts us from the stress response to a relaxation response in our bodies. Together we will practice mindful movement using our 5 senses and will complete a nature inspired piece of art. All art supplies will be included. Please bring a yoga mat.

Healing Components of Nature

Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, aware of what you sense and feel, without judgement. All too often in life we move through life worrying about the future or dwelling on the past and we miss the blessings and moments of JOY that are right in front of us. During this workshop we will learn about and practice the art of mindfulness while making our own candles. All supplies are included.

Time: 6:00pm
Location: American Ice Co. Cafe,
Westminster, MD

Mindful Living

Breathe. Too often, we forget that simple gift and move through life holding our breath. When we learn to control our breath, we learn to control our bodily responses. We can easily access the parasympathetic nervous system by learning different ways to breathe. During this workshop you will be invited to engage in various breathing techniques and gentle movement. Together we will create a piece of art using our gift of breath. All art supplies are included.
