"A Taste of Mindfulness," with Sonya Connelly

Healthy Acadia invites community members to participate in a free virtual workshop, "A Taste of Mindfulness," on Thursday, January 2, 2025, from 5 to 6 p.m. via Zoom. The event will feature special guest Sonya Connelly and is part of Healthy Acadia’s Monthly Mindfulness series.

Experience the essence of mindfulness in this introductory session designed for beginners and those curious about cultivating a greater presence in daily life. Through guided meditation, gentle exercises, and practical tips, we'll explore how mindfulness can help reduce stress, enhance focus, and improve overall well-being.

This class provides a relaxed, judgment-free environment to:

  • Discover the basics of mindfulness practices.

  • Learn simple techniques to bring awareness into everyday moments.

  • Understand how mindfulness fosters emotional balance and clarity.

No prior experience is needed—just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore. You will leave with practical tools to support your mindfulness journey.

She holds a master’s degree in counseling and has extensive experience in bereavement support and spiritual formation.
