🧠 Anti-Inflammatory Eating

📅 Friday, September 4 @ 1 PM PDT
💻 Live on Zoom

Register here: https://givebutter.com/anti-inflammatory-eating-njen2d

Join us for a conversation about chronic inflammation and how it can affect the body. We’ll explore common signs and symptoms, contributing factors, and the connection between inflammation and everyday health.

In this class, Jessica will review foods and eating patterns associated with inflammation, foods that may help support a healthier inflammatory response, and current research on anti-inflammatory dietary approaches.

We’ll also introduce the gut microbiome and explore how lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, physical activity, to***co, and alcohol can influence inflammation.

✨ Practical strategies for incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods and healthy habits into everyday life will be included.

Come learn along with us! 🌱

🏃‍♀️💙 RUNNING YOUR OWN RACE 💙🏃‍♂️
Tuesday, September 1 | 2 PM PDT | Live on Zoom

How often do we find ourselves comparing our progress to someone else’s?

After brain injury, it can be especially easy to look around and wonder, “Why am I not further along?” or “Why does their recovery look so different from mine?”

Join Caterina for a supportive conversation about letting go of comparison and learning to define progress on your own terms.

Together, we’ll explore self-compassion, intrinsic motivation, and practical ways to recognize the progress that matters to YOU. 🌱

✨ You’ll leave with:
• A better understanding of comparison and how to redirect it
• Personal ways to measure progress based on your own values
• Self-compassion tools you can use right away
• Strategies for staying grounded in your own journey
• A renewed understanding that your healing path is your own — and your pace is just right for you

Who is this for?
Survivors, caregivers, and anyone interested in defining progress on their own terms.

🌿 Somatic Workshop: Exploring Joy & Play 🌿
📅 Thursday, July 30
🕐 1:00 PM PDT
💻 Live on Zoom (90 minutes)

Join us for a gentle, trauma-informed experiential workshop that invites you to reconnect with moments of joy and play through embodied practices.

Rather than a traditional presentation, this interactive session will guide you through mindfulness of the body, guided imagination, and gentle exploration to discover even the smallest flickers of joy or play that may already exist within you.

Together, we'll create space to:
✨ Explore internal resources for joy and playfulness
✨ Practice gentle embodied mindfulness
✨ Reflect and share in a supportive community (sharing is always optional)
✨ Honor the emotions that may arise, including grief, with compassion
No prior experience is needed. All activities are by invitation, and you are encouraged to participate at your own pace.

💛 Optional: Have an item nearby that brings you a sense of joy, comfort, or playfulness, such as:
☕ A favorite mug
🥿 Cozy slippers
🧥 A hoodie or favorite sweater
🎨 Or any object that makes you smile

📧 Registration is required. Once you register, your Zoom link will be emailed to you.

💙 Holding the Change – Session 2 💙
📅 Thursday, July 16
🕚 11:00 AM PDT
💻 Live on Zoom

Grief after brain injury is often complex, ongoing, and difficult to put into words. There may be no clear ending, no shared language, and no simple path forward.

Join us for Session 2 of our three-part series as we explore ambiguous loss and the impact it can have on identity, abilities, and relationships after traumatic or acquired brain injury.

✨ Guided Reflection Exercise:
"Before injury, I was… Now, I am…"

Together, we'll explore the tension between the person you were and the person you are today, while creating space to honor both. This session offers compassionate guidance for making sense of change and finding permission to hold multiple versions of yourself with kindness.

Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, or loved one, you're welcome here.
