RESILIENCE OVER TIME (in REFLECTION CIRCLES) - March 4-27
12:30-1:20 on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays (drop in for 1 session or as many as you wish to attend)
How have I grown since March 2020? What have I learned about myself in the face of challenges? Connect with others to celebrate new beginnings, grieve our losses, and reflect on what we’ve learned during this unique time in life and history. Build on strengths and explore practices to soothe the nervous system and cope in healthy ways. Experience guided self-compassion and mindfulness practices, ritual, reflection, and expressive arts experiences to deepen resilience, healing, and personal development.
Roots & Resilience: End of Term Downtown Adventure - Saturday, March 23
12:45 – 4:00pm, with optional gathering after 4pm
Experience nature’s beauty in Gage park with a Mediterranean Greenhouse excursion and explore Ottawa Street’s historic roots, shops, and art galleries. Listen for your own roots, resilience, and growth through reflecting back on your year and appreciating your accomplishments. We’ll connect with each other, learn from nature, celebrate our graduating members, and tune-in to our hopes and dreams for the future!
And to top it all off, we'll have an optional bonus gathering after 4 PM to wrap up the festivities -- with games and a home-cooked dinner at Marybeth and Jeff's place. We will also be drawing the prize for collecting stamps on your passport this term!
Join us for this special opportunity to create community, connection, and cherish memories with the Open Circle family!
