Grati-Tuesday – A Gratitude Meditation

Designed to promote wellness through gratitude, this class provides participants an opportunity to breathe together and take a moment of pause to be thankful. Gratitude habits are sometimes difficult to form alone, so join us in community to end your day with an attitude of gratitude As with all of InspireHealth’s group classes, participants are welcome to share however there is no pressure to do so as sharing is not mandatory.

Meditation

Meditation is a simple means to relax our busy minds. Practicing meditation helps us enhance our sense of peace, optimism and confidence. These classes support participants to release stress, tension, anxiety and depression. When these states of mind are less prominent, many notice that joy, gratitude and hope are easier to access within themselves. Meditation helps us to re-learn a skill often lost since childhood – the ability to relax at will and return to our natural state of inner balance.

InspireHealth’s classes are designed to introduce you to meditation or to support your existing practice. The focus is on calming the mind, developing mindfulness and acceptance, and connecting with intuitive wisdom. Classes incorporate instruction, readings, stories and individual sharing and may include setting an intention, a relaxation/body scan, following the breath, watching thoughts and/or a ‘loving kindness’ practice.

We offer meditation classes throughout the week both in the daytime and evening.

Self-Care Workshop for Support People (Family, Friends and Loved Ones)

At InspireHealth, we understand that cancer affects not only the person living with the diagnosis, but family and friends as well. Supporting a loved one, family member or friend who is living with cancer can be rewarding but it can also be challenging. For some, self-care takes a back seat and this can lead to negative consequences including stress, resentment, guilt, and sometimes ill health. This workshop provides an opportunity to explore some practical, mental and emotional ideas and perspectives for working towards balancing taking care of ourselves while taking care of others.
