As the days get shorter, colder, and darker, life seems to slow down with them. It is common to feel more isolated, drained, and disconnected at this time of year. Depression often amplifies feelings of loneliness, but connection is one of the powerful antidotes to loneliness and hopelessness. This group is special to me since I have been there myself. Over 10 weeks, you will develop skills to manage symptoms. Additionally, validation and understanding, a sense of belonging, new perspectives, emotional support during difficult times, and the opportunity to form meaningful relationships. Group begins Sunday 10/5

This group is a supportive space to process the impact of caregiving for a parent. Caregiving can be mentally, emotionally, and physically challenging, and requires labor and mental load that is often undervalued. For the many adults providing care to a parent, either in person or long distance, existing relationship dynamics can get even more complicated. We reflect on themes and challenges, offer and receive support and compassion. Each session includes facilitated conversation and 10-15 minutes of gentle, accessible yoga or mindfulness. Topics often include boundaries, decision fatigue, the role of the "sandwich generation," and processing complicated family dynamics.
