July Wellness Wednesday | Supporting the Grieving: What to say and do 💜

Back by popular demand, join Jonathan Asher for an important and compassionate conversation on how to support those experiencing loss.

Wednesday, July 8 from 1:00–2:00 p.m. in the Club Room

Many of us want to help a grieving friend or family member but don’t know what to say or do. The fear of saying the wrong thing can sometimes keep us from reaching out at all—leaving those who are grieving feeling even more alone.

This thoughtful workshop will help you feel more confident and comfortable supporting the people you care about. Open to friends, family members, and anyone in the community who wants to better support others after the death of a loved one.

💜 Sometimes the most meaningful support begins with simply showing up. Join us to learn how.

Free for Marsh Members, $12 for nonmembers. Registration required: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/2jVqFvHmG2

This is your invitation to step out of autopilot and into awareness. 🌿 Join Liz Anema for the first of three Summer Mindfulness Based Living sessions!

MBL: Practicing Awareness in Everyday Life is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and notice what’s already here. Together we’ll explore how mindfulness creates space between what happens and how we respond so we’re not controlled by every thought or emotion.

Through gentle breath awareness, Tai Chi on the deck, mindful walking, and simple sensory noticing practices, you’ll experience tools you can use in everyday life to support anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional balance.

Wednesday June 24 from 1:30–3 p.m. in the West Studio
$25 members | $30 non-members

Guests will have the chance to view her artwork, learn about her creative process, and connect with the artist behind the collection.

Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful and inspiring way to spend your morning, we invite you to stop by and meet Jill in person.
