LOST-Living Outside Suffering and Trauma Thursdays from 7-830pm February 11th - Coping Skills February 18th - Mindfulness February 25th - Meditation - Guest speaker Erin Byron LOST is a 12 week mental health support group every Thursday from 7-830pm open to all individuals. Mental illness affects one in four people, which translates into a quarter of our population worldwide. Along with those people, mental illness affects families, friends, and loved ones. No one should have to hide, suffer alone, or undermine the extent of their feelings. LOST openly addresses illnesses such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, self injury and suicidal thoughts, affected family members and friends, and many more. This is our second session beginning January 14th, 2016. There's no registration required and you are not required to attend every week. Each week is a different topic (depression, anxiety, ptsd, mindfulness, meditation etc.) and it's an open discussion where people can chose to share their stories or just listen. All participation is optional and you can just sit quietly the whole session if you chose to. It's a free support group although we do accept donations at every group meeting. We have carpool available for those who need it. Join us at Aviva Yoga Studio in Hamilton on Mondays from 715-815pm for free community yoga. Members of our mental health support group are all welcome for free, and members of the community are asked to offer a small donation (whatever you can afford) to our karma jar to benefit our organization. www.wearelost.org If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact myself or any other LOST member. There is no cost for this program. No pre-registration required. Contact: Amanda Welton am.welton@hotmail.com 289 808 0102

Intro to Mala Making by Purple Lotus Sunday, February 28 from 1pm-330pm A mala (the Sanskrit name for ‘garland’) is a set of beads traditionally worn and used for meditation. Malas are typically made of 108 beads (108 being a sacred number in many Eastern cultures) and serve to keep count of the wearers affirmations by focusing their awareness and staying mindful in the present moment. Explore the therapeutic energy by creating and practicing your own mala during a 2.5 hour workshop. Inspired by tradition, you will be guided through making your own mala and how to use it to recite an affirmation or mantra. As you create, you will have the opportunity to infuse your mala with the power of your intention! A variety of materials including wood, seeds and or gemstones will be used. All mala materials are provided - just bring yourself. Cost is $50 +HST. Pre-registration required. To register email/text/call the contact below.
