Mindfulness for the New Year with Jennifer O'Sullivan
Dates: Thursday, January 09, 2025 - Thursday, January 30, 2025
Location: Fairfax
In-Person
Mindfulness, or mind-training, is the practice of being awake. By training up our ability to closely watch our mind, we become intimate with our suffering, our habitual patterns of grasping and avoiding, all the while opening a doorway to personal insight. Only when we know ourselves deeply can we relax reactive habits and live with a more open-heart. In this 4-week series, you'll practice a variety of traditional mindfulness meditation methods that calm the mind and relax the body, improve focus and concentration, develop an accepting and resilient orientation towards life's challenges, and cultivate an open-hearted and friendly attitude towards yourself and others.
Community Acupuncture Clinic With Tova Steiner, LAc
Dates: Friday, January 10, 2025
Location: Arlington
In-Person
During this community clinic patients will choose from one of two treatments: one to reduce stress, or one to boost energy. In community acupuncture, many people are treated simultaneously in one large room – this is the way acupuncture is administered in most places in the east. By treating patients in a community setting, more people can be treated in the same amount of time, and costs can be greatly reduced, thus making this type of medicine more accessible to more people. Slots begin on the half hour.
Peace, Presence, and Purpose: New Year's Sound Bath and Meditation with Special Guest Reggie Hubbard
Dates: Saturday, January 11, 2025
Location: Fairfax

On the heels of the holiday season, we sometimes need a break from the holiday and all of the corresponding things - travel, family, too much to do.... And at the beginning of the calendar year, it's always good to sit in stillness to feel into what commitments we want to make to our lives and communities. With light restorative movement, gongs and sound bowls, this workshop will give space to relax, clear the mind and start the New Year with peace, presence and purpose. All levels of experience will benefit from these practices and all are welcome.
