  Every Wednesday  the Sangha will meet on Zoom for meditation and deep sharing. This is a great opportunity to check in with yourself and the sangha during the week. So come relax and calm the mind and body, and practice meditation and deep listening together with us.

  Our weekly discussions usually involve examples of how we’ve applied the mindfulness practices we study. Even if you are not familiar with the practice, you are likely to find something of value in the discussion and be able to share from your own experiences if you choose.

  Our small group studies and shares books on mindfulness practices to create a happier and healthier life. For information on joining the group by Zoom and the next book to be discussed, call or text (941) 888-0116 or email caloosahatcheemindfulness16@gmail.com

  The Book Club is now reading :Lighter by Yung Pueblo (https://yungpueblo.com/)

  In Lighter, yung pueblo demonstrates how we can all move forward in our healing, from learning self-compassion to letting go to becoming emotionally mature. As the heaviness falls away, our minds will finally stop feeling overburdened with tension and we’ll be able to reconnect with the present. And the world around us will hopefully become more inviting in crisp and newly vibrant ways. But these are just the first steps. As we grow stronger and expand our self-awareness, it’s our responsibility—and also part of the healing journey—to take actions to support the health and harmony of all people. The final section of Lighter shows how we can and must contribute to building a world that is no longer structurally harmful but, instead, structurally compassionate. 

  Discussion is focused on understanding how the author’s words and concepts are relevant to our daily lives.The book club is free to all Caloosahatchee Mindfulness members.

  Vision Boards can be a great way to really focus on what you want to achieve in life, the intentions you want to set, and the goals you want to reach.
  

  Vision boards are amazing tools as they serve as a daily reminder and a guide to working towards your goal; they are a great way to help you visualize your dream life every day. Vision Boards are a tool to help you cultivate a positive mindset, create mindfulness, set intentions for the new year,  and to help you live your life with purpose to achieve goals.

  All supplies are included to create your unique vision board. Bring along any special items that you want to attach to your board to further personalize your intentions. The workshop will begin with a meditation and examples of different boards to create.
