Dear Monday,
Nobody Likes You
Sundays, October 3- October 24, 10:00 - 11:30am EST
"Dear Monday Nobody Likes You” is a four-week series that challenges students to disconnect from the outside to reconnect within. It targets students who work in a demanding helping profession, those who are consistently giving their expertise and talents to impact the lives of others in their community. It’s a weekly check to see how the students are really doing. So often we become buried in our work and pouring into others that we don’t pour into ourselves. This series challenges individuals to look within their lives to see if they are living life on their terms.
The series is based on the following practices:
• guided meditation
• sound bath healing
• open dialogue regarding various topics
• self-care/self-love practice
• mini massages
Each week, students will have an open discussion with hot/tea and water about how they are doing, if they are happy, living their true authentic life, if they are using their time, talents and voices to fulfill their true purpose in life. This series is designed for students to obtain balance, reduce stress, freedom and relief.

Have you ever wanted to start meditating, but are unsure where to begin? Have you tried to meditate and wondered if you were “doing it right?” In this 4 part series, we explore key meditation concepts and learn several different meditation techniques, so that you can choose a style that suits you best. Over the time spent together, we will expand on the different types of meditation, their purpose and the way to practice them. This workshop will provide you the tools to start your own meditation practice that will help you thrive physically, emotionally and spiritually. While we encourage beginners, all levels of meditation practitioner are welcome, as approaching the practice from a beginner’s mindset is often helpful. Find your calm and commit to a transformative practice.

In addition to this immersion, you will also receive 3 guided meditation recordings that correspond with 3 meditation techniques covered in class to support you in your home practice.
