We still have seats available for our April 7th Wellness Wednesday: Out of the Box, Into the Beat.
Out of the Box, Into the Beat supports your journey towards wholeness and a more vibrant connection with your surroundings. Consider how ubiquitous music and sound are in our lives, yet how often do we consciously engage and choose what we are allowing into our earholes? By being more consciously selective, we have the power to shift our mood and daily experience.
In this session we will learn to play with rhythm, music, and our sonic environment - engaging in research-based approaches that have been shown to boost the immune system, develop camaraderie, improve mood states, and reduce stress and burnout.
