NewConnecting to Your Senses
Amanda's class is designed for all humans. There are no fitness requirements and no experience in yoga or meditation is required. Our new Community Wellness Days are affordable, ongoing programs that bring people together in casual, but mindful, activities that celebrate the healing, grounding qualities of nature. We hope to build a stronger community by facilitating regular opportunities for wellness-minded people to meet in a safe, inclusive space that encourages personal growth, respect and appreciation for wild desert lands, and positive social interactions. We're starting 2023 off with a new monthly event, "connect to your senses." To learn about new activities as we develop this program, visit us on social: @jtdesertinstitute |
