The Mission of The Center’s Mind Body Spirit Program is to establish a Stigma-Free Environment where People can Listen, Create, and Inspire.
Art Studio (MIND)
Drop-in Art with Nelson
Materials provided to create original artwork through sketch, collage, or paint. Resident artist Nelson is available throughout the workshop to guide participants down the process of creativity. The goal is to provide a space with material for people to come and release their inhibitions & express their thoughts through art so that they may leave the session free from what was potentially clouding their minds.
Movement Studio (BODY)
Dance with Velocity
This class (beginner) is designed for those with little to no dance experience. The instructor will ensure to move at a slow, repetitive pace while also giving alternative movements for any challenging portions of the choreography. The goal is to provide a safe space for people who want to move freely with guidance.
Zen Studio (SPIRIT)
Crystal Bracelet Workshop with Luz
Make a bracelet with the crystal of the month & learn how to set your intentions with it. The goal is to learn how to refocus one’s energy when an external stimulus is causing our nervous systems to become dysregulated. By creating a bracelet focused on intention, the creator/wearer can be reminded every day.
Educational Presentations
HIV-related Stigma
Present a slideshow of information that details the effects of stigma and how we can combat it as status-neutral people as well as those with HIV. The purpose is to raise awareness about how Stigma can be a barrier to wellness.
