First Saturdays, LMH Room A, 8-9:30am
Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2, Parish Hall 1st Floor, 9am-4pm. Are you aware of what triggers tension for you? Do you know how tension impacts your health and well-being? Are you aware of how your triggered reactions are experienced in your body, moods, thoughts, and behaviors? Most importantly, do you know how to transform a reactively tense state into one of reflective response and improved self-agency? Wellness Works from the Inside Out is an evidence-based program that provides specific approaches to reduce harmful levels of stress hormones and methods that stimulate restorative hormones. This course was developed four decades ago by Matthew Budd, MD, and Roberta Colasanti, MSW, LICSW, at the formerly known Harvard Community Health Plan, a Harvard Medical School Affiliate. Registration information to follow. No fee attend this course. The only cost is to purchase the book, You Are What You Say, by Dr. Budd; there will be a few free used copies available on a first come, first served basis.
Saturday, May 2, Sanctuary and Lower Meetinghouse, 10am-2pm. Service starts at 11am.
