Shake it Off! Exploring Movement to Complete the Stress Cycle
Are you feeling stressed? Do you want to feel more connected to your body, and connected to others? Join us on Tuesdays from 10-11:30am from June 22- July 27th for a drop-in group for Survivors and Co-Survivors that will provide information about the body's response to stress and explore how various types of body movement can help you process stress in your life. All body types and levels of fitness are welcome and wanted! This is a drop-in group that will mostly meet outdoors, rain or shine, but we are still requesting that participants register ahead of time. If you have any questions, contact stanl143@msu.edu.
Fresh Air, Fresh Perspectives: An Ecotherapy Group
This past year has left so many of us feeling zoned out and disconnected from ourselves, from each other, and from the natural world. Together, let’s take some time to rediscover and celebrate our bond with nature and the peace and healing it brings to our lives. This five-week group on Tuesdays from 10am-11:30am, from August 3rd - August 31st for Survivors and Co-Survivors will provide opportunity for discussion, mindfulness, and quiet reflection while meeting outdoors on the beautiful campus of MSU. If you have any questions, contact Sterli28@msu.edu.
