Life is filled with stress and challenges. We all have our stuff, and our stuff is as varied and individual as we are. Personal and reflective writing is a deeply effective and clinically proven tool for meeting yourself where you’re at and navigating your path. Checking in with yourself and writing whatever comes is a practice in mindfulness and a form of meditation. We will work with prompts and guided exercises that exceed standard journaling practices, but don’t go as deep into neuroscience as our Intuitive Writing courses do. We will borrow a few exercises from IW along the way, but an Intuitive Writing class is NOT a prerequisite. We will meet in December when "me time" is often scarce, but most needed. Open to all writing levels, whether first timers or experienced sages. Exercise prompts and formats are continually rotated and added to, so that you can repeat this course on an ongoing basis.

You don’t have to have a passport or board a plane to experience the healing properties of forest bathing, a meditation practice that originated in Japan. Right in our own backyard of the Camden neighborhood at North Mississippi Regional Park you can join a guided forest bathing experience where you can disconnect from technology and connect with nature. This is not a hike. You will be guided to move at a snail’s space and invited to open your senses of sound, smell, touch and taste. Don’t worry. We won’t be eating trees. Rather after approximately an hour of forest bathing we will share a cup of herbal tea. You will learn about the history and health benefits of forest therapy. Wear warm, comfortable clothes and bring your curiosity.
