Online Workshop
When we are ill or injured, the most natural instinctive response is to touch, hold, or massage the affected places on the body. There are many ways to heal and feel better using our own hands, and in this workshop you will reclaim your innate ability to respond to pain with kindness and skill, and to revive your energy when it is low.
Online Group
Way Opens Wellness is sponsoring a group for people who are interested in reading and working with Ruth King’s book, Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out.
Readings and conversations provide direction, and simple mindfulness practices provide support for the work we have to do together. This work is intended to be helpful to the anti-racism work you already do, or hope to do.
Online Workshop
It’s not easy being a human being. Usually what makes us anxious is not so much what happens, but how we relate to it. Learn a different way to relate to the heart-mind, and discover your innate capacity for equanimity, to meet the ever-changing conditions of your life with less anxiety and more ease.

A monthly session for metta meditation, or loving-kindness practice. “Metta” is the Pali word for the act of wishing well for ourselves and others, without exception. The practice of loving-kindness strengthens our innate capacity to be less judgmental and more resilient. The power of this practice cannot be overestimated, and the need for people to cultivate real love has never been more immediate or urgent.
