OUR NEXT TRAUMA TRAINING TUESDAY:
SELF-COMPASSION FOR HELPERS
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 12-2pmET

People in supportive roles often hold themselves to higher standards, sometimes carrying tension or self-criticism. This session focuses on meeting oneself with kindness and understanding, which helps protect against emotional strain and supports long-term wellbeing. Key themes include gentleness, lightness, and supportive self-talk.

Sandy Lashin-Curewitz, Mindfulness Teacher, and Susan Buchholz, Executive Director from the Heartwell Institute for Mindfulness, will share practical tools you can use now to slow down and show yourself love and kindness in this busy season.

Join us on Zoom. (No need to RSVP.):

A Season of Presence

As the holiday season approaches, many of us find ourselves moving quickly, juggling work, family, responsibilities, emotions, and everything this time of year brings. It can be a season of meaning and connection, but it can also feel stressful, rushed, or overwhelming.

This year, HeartWell is offering a gentle alternative:

A Season for Presence: a four-part online workshop series designed to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what nourishes you. Each session offers simple mindfulness practices that invite less stress and more joy during a full season.

Come to one or come to all. No prior experience is needed.

If cost is a barrier for anyone, please reach out — everyone is welcome.

⸻

Who These Workshops Are For

Working adults, caregivers, seniors, educators, community members, health and human service workers, parents — and anyone seeking a gentler, steadier season.

⸻

What to Expect

• Guided mindfulness and grounding practices

• Optional journaling or quiet reflection

• Simple, everyday tools to reduce stress

• A welcoming online space

Come exactly as you are. No preparation needed.

⸻

We hope these gatherings offer moments of calm, connection, and renewal during a time that can feel full.

With warmth,

The HeartWell Institute

Really important to listen to your body and scale to what feels right! We want to challenge ourselves to build resilience in our lives but if you can’t breathe in a posture that can only lead to injury. Breath and movement work together along with mindfulness to help us flow. How you approach movement on the mat is how you approach life!

So this happened yesterday! I have to say this challenged me in many ways. It taught me a lot about myself and my yoga practice! Thank you to Lisa Hammond for all her help in this journey! So excited to be part of the Instructor Network and share these practices with first responders in Central Mass!

It was great to take part in Southbridge High School’s Career Fair! I love talking to students about how I combined my love of writing, social emotional learning and yoga into a business where I partner with organizations to develop and implement wellness programs that teach people practices to help them manage stress, become more resilient and develop a growth mindset.

I just started my final module of Yoga for First Responders and I couldn’t be more excited! I have learned so much. I can’t wait to share these practices and lessons with our first responder community!

A few Southbridge PD officers got a sneak peak of what the program offers last weekend before I did my ride along:)
