Wednesday Nov. 22

Mind Your Mind

1-3pm Wednesdays. For survivors of sexual violence, email Kery Maddison (kmaddison@mta.ca) to sign up or for more information. This will be an 8 week program using art, meditation and other activities to explore mindfulness. For survivors of sexual violence, natural survival mechanisms lead to fight, flight and/or freeze responses when traumatic memories are triggered. These triggers often lead to thoughts and behavior's that ultimately impede our ability to skillfully respond to what is happening in the present moment. The practice of mindfulness offers a neurobiological antidote to the natural trauma response of the brain.
