Upcoming Events

Suicide Loss Support Group

Beyond Surviving

You may struggle with the "why". You may feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your feelings. You may worry that others may blame you. You need not grieve alone.

The death of a loved one by suicide presents unique challenges in grieving. There is often more shock, a greater sense of injustice, more guilt and blame, and a heightened sense of helplessness; and these all tend to complicate the healing process for survivors.

There is a safe place in our community for survivors (families and loved ones of suicide victims) to share their loss with others who are experiencing similar thoughts and feelings.

Trained facilitators, also survivors of suicide themselves, will guide and hold space for the group. This group is open to all adult survivors of suicide and are held at Healing Arts Center.

First Wednesday of Every Month

4:30-6:00 PM

If you or someone you know has experienced a loss by suicide and would like more information about this free service, please call Stacey Garcelon, M.Ed, NCC, at the Healing Arts Center at (219) 510-5623.

Report from 3rd Exploratory Meeting for GiGi's Playhouse

Thank you to the many wonderful people who attended our third exploratory meeting for GiGi's Playhouse. We have made the decision to move forward and develop our own group since we have had so many talented and committed people respond. This will allow us to begin programming this February on a small scale and develop our services over the next few months, working up to a full and rich line of programs. These programs will be offered to children and adults with special needs at a minimal cost.

We will be sending out updates as to our program schedule very shortly. For more information, please contact Tracy Ruiz at teruiz@aol.com.

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED via Facebook.
Saturday, May 16, 2020
12:45-4pm + 4:15-5pm Chi-Circle Community Practice

Activating your self-healing capacity, you will experience relaxation techniques designed to restore and nurture a healthy balance of energy. With nothing to memorize, we simply slow down and follow along in class, standing tall, breathing deep, moving with purpose. Learn how to mindfully call upon slow flowing motions for just moments throughout your day to activate evidence-based health benefits, including pain and stress management.

Coordinating breath with movement is a powerful key to enhancing function, and accelerating recovery. As we practice active relaxation, we build resilience and nurture harmony. Tai Chi Meditation will leave you feeling calm and energized, peaceful and balanced, appreciating the experience of stillness.
