Personal values are the core beliefs that are most important to us. They provide direction in our lives and give deeper meaning to our daily experiences and decisions.
It’s normal to experience times of disconnect with one or more of our values. For example, a person who cares deeply about family but has a demanding career that often takes time and energy away from them. The misalignment of values in this example is likely to leave the person feeling dissatisfied.
In week one we’ll get to know ourselves and one another more deeply with fun and thought-provoking discussion questions.

Our relationship with money isn't just about saving and spending; it also involves our thoughts, feelings, experiences, hopes, and fears. In the second week, Laura will guide a group exercise to examine our views and beliefs about money.

When someone is getting to know you, one of the first questions asked is “what do you do?”
Our educational attainment, job, or career is not the whole of who we are but often play a big role in our sense of self and satisfaction.
Ikigai translates to ``a reason for being.'' This week we’ll explore the intersections of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for to identify your Ikigai.

Relationships have been integral to human-kind’s survival and evolution. In a world more connected through technology, why are people feeling more and more disconnected?

Research shows mental and physical health are closely connected. Emotions are called feelings because we feel them in the body - think butterflies in your stomach before a big day or that hot-headed friend of yours.
By learning both bottom-up and top-down methods of recognizing and intervening with symptoms we forge a deeper body-mind connection, which is key for overall physical and mental health.

Cultivating joy in your free time can be as simple as taking a moment to notice a sunset. By engaging in recreational activities, you tap into a world of creativity, connection, and empowerment. Whether it's painting, hiking, dancing, or simply expressing gratitude for something small.
In week 6 we will reflect and share what activities and hobbies have brought you joy in your past, what is bringing you joy now and aspirations for the future.

Spiritual wellness can equate to religion for some people. Others see it in nature or their relationships. Some find it by living a meaningful life based on their values.
Spiritual health at it’s most fundamental level is about finding connection to something greater than ourselves. This week we’ll reflect on and discuss how that connection helps us bounce back from life’s challenges and has a positive impact on our physical and emotional health.

In our final week together we will take a birds eye view of our strengths and goals discussed over the last seven sessions and write out our intentions for the future.
This series format is a thoughtful mixture of mindfulness practice, workshop, and support group. Join virtually and connect through shared experiences.
Each week begins with a five-minute brain dump to free our thoughts, jotting down to-dos and worries to set aside temporarily. Then your host will lead a brief guided mindfulness practice to relieve tension and enhance focus. Next, we explore one of seven wellness components through exercises like worksheets, discussions, videos, or lessons with practical tools for daily life.
The last 45 minutes will be open to discussion, where we share ideas, insights, and goals.
I encourage you to commit to the entire series and engage wholeheartedly in every session to gain the full benefits of the program.
