Yoga Nidra
Glen Lochen Mall, 38 New London Tpk, Glastonbury, CT, USYoga Nidra is a practice of guided relaxation that aims to bring you (practitioner) into the most healing delta state, which is for most people only experienced during a deep sleep cycle. This lying down practice can help improve sleep, deepen inner connection, lead to greater levels of health and increase your ability to enjoy life. In recent studies it has been proven to reduce anxiety and stress.
This workshop will start with 5-10 min. discussion of Yoga Nidra principles, followed by a few yogic warm ups. After that, the only requirement is to lay comfortably on your mat and listen. You will leave feeling relaxed and rested. We encourage you to bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothing.

Get Your Ducks in a Row- Intro to End of Life Planning
·OnlineOnlineLife Happens...Love Prepares
Most families are unprepared for one of life’s most inevitable moments — not because they don’t care, but because no one taught them how to prepare. Join Melissa Lewis, RN BSN, for a warm, practical, and uplifting conversation about the five essential areas every family should have in place — from important documents and medical wishes to emotional readiness and meaningful conversations. You’ll leave with greater clarity, peace of mind, and simple next steps to help protect yourself and the people, pets, and plants you love.
What We’ll Cover:- Essential legal and medical documents
- How to communicate your healthcare wishes
- Conversations that prevent conflict and regret
- Emotional preparation and finding peace
- Lessons from 30 years at the bedside about living, loving, and letting go
This Presentation Is For You If…
- You want to protect yourself & those you love
- You want to give your family a chance to grieve — not manage logistics
- You are navigating caregiving, aging, illness, or loss
- You are ready to start the conversation, even if you don’t know where to begin
End of Life (EOL) planning does not have to feel overwhelming. Done with care and intention, it can become one of the most loving gifts you give yourself and those you cherish most.

Threshold Choir (Practice meeting for bedside hospice vigil singing)
Location not specified yet# What We Do
When we are invited to a bedside, we visit in groups of 2 to 4 singers. We invite families and caregivers to join us in song or to participate by listening. We choose songs to respond to the client’s musical taste, spiritual direction, and current receptivity. Most of the songs we offer are composed by Threshold Choir members specifically to communicate ease, comfort, and presence. Other pieces may include rounds, chants, lullabies, hymns, spirituals, and choral music. We know that many communities of faith surround their members with this kind of circle of comfort; because our songs are not religiously oriented, we hope our singing can be equally available to those who might be deeply spiritual but not necessarily religious.
A session typically lasts about 20 minutes; if there appears to be benefit, we might sing longer. Using soft, lullaby voices, we blend in harmony or sometimes in unison, if that provides the most comfort. We offer our singing as gentle blessings, not as entertainment, and we are honored when a client falls asleep as we are singing. Most of our songs are very short, so their repetition is conducive to rest and comfort.
Families have said that our presence helps them to “be” with their loved one after the “doing” is done. Often they will continue to sing for their loved one after we have departed.
The service is our gift; there is no charge.

Heartspace Circle of Support
·OnlineOnlineAn opportunity to feel seen, supported, and restored without reinforcing the old painful storyline.
Life can ask so much of us. Whether we are caring for ourselves, supporting loved ones, navigating illness, grief, overwhelm, uncertainty, or simply trying to stay afloat in a demanding world, it’s easy to become exhausted by the stories we repeat internally and externally.
This is not a space for fixing, rescuing, or endlessly reinforcing the old painful storyline.
It is a space for honest presence, heartfelt understanding, compassionate connection, nervous system support, perspective, refreshment, and renewal.
Together, we explore new ways of relating to ourselves, our hearts, and the challenges we face, personally and professionally, without bypassing reality or becoming trapped inside it.This circle offers an opportunity to:
• feel whole, safe, and loved no matter what is happening
• reconnect with balance, perspective, and inner steadiness
• receive meaningful support without judgment
• discover greater peace in the midst of real life
• nourish the heart, body, mind, and spirit
• remember that you do not have to carry everything aloneCome as you are.
No performance. No pretending. No need to have it all figured out. Just real humans gathering in Heartspace.
