MCMT : Stress Management and Mindfulness
2024-07-13 12:00 - 13:30
Facilitator Bio: Cheryl Alexander is a certified Stress Management Consultant, with a passion for understanding how stress can be a major factor in health. She graduated from the MMTCP program in 2023. Through her own healing from an autoimmune condition 25 years ago, she found her way back to health using guided imagery, yoga, and meditation. During her MSW, she completed a practicum in the Hilltribes of Thailand. It was here where she became interested in and studied Vipassana in Bangkok. She continues to explore various other healing modalities. She has previously worked in health care supporting chronic disease prevention and tobacco cessation. She is also part of a non-fiction writing group.

We will discuss mindfulness and the five pillars of high-level wellness as fundamental principles that promote overall well-being and balance in life. Mindfulness and stress management are complementary, as both enhance mental well-being and reduce the negative impact of stress. We will take a closer look at stress management strategies and explore how mindfulness practices intertwine to support them.

MNVC Sangha Meeting
2024-06-28 13:00 - 14:30, 2024-05-24 13:00 - 14:30
Welcome to our monthly MNVC sangha gathering where we connect and learn together. We start with a short sit followed by a check-in and then some NVC activity that the group would like to explore. I like to focus my NVC practice on the “roots”, our feelings and needs, rather than how to say things in a way that creates a particular outcome.
Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86449117228

New folks without any NVC experience are welcome.

Dear Mindful Reader’s Sangha,

Dates (second Thursday of each month) at 11:30-12:30 ET:

*March 14 – Part I, Beginning, Ch’s 1 – 5
*April 11 – Part II, Ch’s 6 – 11
