This remarkable Mind-Body Skills Group offers a safe space to reconnect with yourself and others, calm your nervous system and develop the mind body connection. We will explore an effective combination of evidence-based mind-body exercises to help participants deal with stress, anxiety, chronic illness, life changes, or burnout in a group setting. The groups are small, 7-9 people, meeting weekly for eight weeks, 2-hours each week. Using a curriculum designed by Dr. James Gordon at the Center for MindBody Medicine in Washington, D.C., these groups empower participants with mind body tools and social connection to improve wellness, mitigate trauma and encourage the nervous system to soften. Commitment to attending all eight sessions is requested. Space is limited, so please apply soon. To apply, contact Amavi Mental Wellness at (303)-652-4196 or email through the website at AmaviMentalHealth.com
