I began these remote group balances in March 2020 in response to unprecedented stress in response to Covid 19.
The stresses related to the pandemic continue, but new and even more pressing events related to how we relate and connect as a country are arising, possibly bringing up new or increasing feelings of helplessness, anxiety, fear, and a myriad of other emotions.
Whether you're a seasoned brain gym practitioner or are totally new to brain gym these are tools that are available to help us in times of stress to move out of reactivity to one of conscious choice and intentional action.
This is a remote group balance to connect with each other and help release fear or stress and to get connected to the calm that exists under that so we can think clearly and do what we need to do in our own lives but also for the wellness of our world.
This remote group balance can be experienced online from the comfort of your own home. It is a way for us to come together and support each other while still keeping safe.
After the brain gym balance participants can choose to participate in an optional group meditation.
Tickets are by donation, and 50% of all proceeds from these tickets will be donated to an organization working on the front lines of medicine, mitigating hunger, or bringing more racial equality into our world.
I hope that you can sign on and connect!
Look forward to "seeing" you soon!
All the best,
Mari
