Understanding Anxiety

Join Angela Smith & Colette Safhill for A Morning to Understand and Soothe Anxiety – a restorative experience where we explore what anxiety really is, how it shows up in the mind and body, and practical ways to find calm.

Together, we’ll slow down, learn to listen to ourselves, and reset through grounding and mindful practices.
