Tuesday   

Life is a complicated tapestry of continuous endings and beginnings. We have all experienced those pivotal moments in life when some destabilizing event occurs that shakes us to the core. It might be the death of a loved one, a divorce, a life-altering diagnosis, or some traumatic brush with death. Blending psychological insight, practical, evidence-based self-care tools, and mindful practices designed to explore self-awareness and enhance support during life transitions, you're encouraged to embrace change with courage, confidence, and compassion. This class offers a steady guide and a hopeful perspective to help you reimagine who you truly are when life changes and to discover what gives your life meaning and purpose.

Please join us for 4 weeks of humor, all that it entails and insights into the benefits it provides. Humor can be used for influence, well-being, and entertainment. What's amazing: 1. Memory recall increases 23% after watching a funny video. 2. In anticipating humor, stress decreases by 39%. 3. A person is 2 times more productive after taking a humor break. We'll explore what science and research have to offer on the subject and most importantly, we'll gain connection with others who value humor and who seek more humor in their lives. Bring your funny stories and your funny bone. We'll have a blast getting healthier and happier with humor.
