If ever there was a time for working on our immunity, this would be it. This practice is designed to do that and lower our stress in the process. It’s a gentle practice that can be done sitting or standing.

The practice is based on the work of Dr. Guan-Cheng Sun at the Institute for Qigong and Integrative Medicine in Bothell, WA.

Our Healing Circles are a safe place to find meaning in the challenge of cancer, bear witness to suffering or loss, and explore our individual choices and capacity for healing. The circle is open and free to those newly diagnosed, living with and beyond treatment, and their caregivers.

Each circle has agreements that provide a safe and secure container in which both acceptance and confidentiality are assured. Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence, compassion and curiosity, and honoring our own unique paths to healing as well as respecting each others’.

Please e-mail dianalindsay@healingcircleslangley.org if you would like to attend this circle. The circle is drop-in.

Mindfulness meditation in the insight tradition is about seeing things as they really are, free from belief and illusion. By gently noticing and investigating sensations, thoughts and emotions, it trains the mind and opens the heart.

Each week, we will explore a different topic related to coping with the COVID19 pandemic. Sessions will also include mindfulness meditation and discussion.

Our circle is about “discovering what death can teach us about living fully.” It will include reading, sharing thoughts, questions, inspirations evoked by the reading. It is not necessary to read the book ahead of time. The circle is open, participants come when they can.  The conversations tend to be deep, meaningful, moving, funny, thought provoking–even life changing.

Hosted by Charles Terry, Betsy MacGregor, and Lynn Nelsen.

Dementia Caregiver Circle – A Wellbeing Approach

What does it mean to live well with dementia? In this four-session series we will explore how to bring a positive approach to caring for someone living with dementia. Each session will be interactive with discussions, video, slides, and skills training using Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach® to Care (PAC). You will gain a toolbox of dementia knowledge and skills on how to sustain connection, communication and wellbeing throughout the progression of dementia.

Here are topics that we will cover:

• What is dementia?
• Brain changes with dementia. Understanding the amygdala response.
• Sensory changes that effect connection and communication.
• Progression of dementia – skills lost and skills that remain (using GEMS Model). What GEM is my person?
• Connecting and communication – adapting our approach.
• Being a detective – Seeing behaviors as unmet needs.

Hosted by Kathleen Landel, PAC Independent Certified Consultant and national PAC Mentor
