Coming in May
Saturday Movement and Meditation
With Sam Tullman
Drop in for a short, beginner-oriented Qi Gong session with Sam Tullman, followed by time for silent meditation as a group.
Qi Gong (氣功 — cultivation of Qi, or energy) refers to a family of gentle moving meditation practices from China. You can think of this a bit like a Chinese form of yin yoga, except that rather than holding stretches for a long time, you’re going through different rhythmic, gentle movements to loosen your body and let energy flow more freely.
Empathic Exchange Workshop, with Briana Schiavoni
Returning in May
Join in with the DiabetesSangha for this monthly gathering and workshop of Compassionate Communication, led by Briana Schiavoni.
Empathic Exchange is a supportive space for education in the art of NonViolent Communication (NVC) to promote self-compassion, authentic expression, empathic connection, and conflict resolution.The educational components from previous sessions are now available on our YouTube channel as well as our Resource page.
