What we’re about
This is a group for anyone wanting to learn more about Mind-Body-Spirit Wellness topics from knowledgeable people and practitioners. We want to bring together those who are seeking information with those who are able to make this information easily accessible and understandable.
Our monthly seated meetings have resumed at the East End Cooperative Ministry, and we continue to have virtual events as well, plus special weekend workshops and retreats.
There are so many of us doing this work individually, so we come together to really promote the health and wellness movement that our community has embraced! Whether you are seeking to understand more about Body-Mind-Spirit Wellness topics or you are someone who is well-versed in this field, we'd love to meet you!

RSVP on Meetup, then Buy your Ticket by registering at OMA Pittsburgh here: https://omapittsburgh.org/event/refresh-recharge/
Refresh, Recharge, and Exchange Energy! Two events in one! Come for one or enjoy both!
We kick things off with Tai Chi Fundamentals® . Tai Chi, a form of qigong, integrates mind, body, and spirit in harmony with the world. This gentle, low-impact practice builds strength without stressing the joints, cultivating balance and inner peace rather than brute force. Combining body mechanics with energy awareness, Tai Chi uses breath, hand focus, qi sensing, and Wu Ji to boost vitality or restore calm.
Taught by Marilyn Carpenter, this session will be tailored to the participants to provide a few basic moves progressing from simple moves for practicing almost anytime during the day, even if just for a few minutes.
1pm-2pm - Refresh and Recharge with Tai Chi Fundamentals® Movement.
Flowing like water, tai chi harmonizes mind & body, weaving tranquility & strength into every gentle movement. Experience it for yourself! Reap the benefit of cultivating energy with others, using gentle movements.
Improving balance and strength is beneficial to those new to Tai Chi and those refining their practice by focusing on basic movements.2pm-3pm: Holistic Energy Exchange Share - Now we have this beautiful energy flowing, let's share it! We will begin with an opening circle, with prayer and positive intention for ourselves, our community, our nation, our world. Then, we will break into pairs and give, receive, or share information and demos of Healing modalities, based on interest, and experience. There will be a closing circle to express gratitude for all that was received, share insights, feedback.
Open to Tai Chi attendees, Reiki and healing practitioners, and all with curiosity and an open heart. All are welcome!

- EMDR and Trauma: Pathways to Resilience (Zoom Mtg)Link visible for attendees
RSVP on Meetup, then get your Zoom Meeting link by registering here:
https://omapittsburgh.org/event/emdr-and-trauma/Explore healing trauma and finding relief through EMDR in a special episode of OMA's You Are Not Alone with Mike Elliot.
Trauma can come from many experiences. Whether a single overwhelming event, ongoing stress, or challenges earlier in life, the effects often linger in both body and mind. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a research-based approach for treating trauma that uses bilateral stimulation to support the natural healing process and reduce distress tied to painful memories and intrusive thoughts.
Join us for an introduction on how EMDR can help to heal trauma. Together, we’ll explore how EMDR works through a look at both the science and the human experience of the technique. We hope to offer insight, understanding, and inspiration for anyone interested in how this powerful approach can support healing and recovery.
This event will be recorded for later viewing. A replay will be provided to each registered participant within 48 hours of the original broadcast.
Donate from the Heart: $10-$20 Donation requested.
Presented by Mike Elliot, clinical director at Elliot Counseling and specializes in neurodivergence, attachment, trauma, DID, and LGBTQIA+. He is an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, Consultant and Trainer.
