The Idea of the Week
Mindfulness is the practice of “living in the present” without judgment. This means we are aware of and accept our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and experiences. Our goal isn’t to clear our minds but to observe our present presence without making assumptions, judgments, or stories.
When we mindfully engage in an activity, we allow ourselves to be focused on our tasks and aware of our experiences.

News of the Week
Full-Impact Self-Defense Course for Women
“Turn Fear into Power”
As my daughters become young women, I want to give them the best possible tools to navigate this world. I took this course myself in my early 20’s and it was one of the most empowering things I have ever done. 30 years later, my body still remembers what to do. This investment will have a lifelong return. This course teaches women and girls how to defend themselves in the event of an attack. It teaches your body how to remember what to do, in case your brain is offline with fear. Model Mugging is the original, full-force, self-defense program based on martial science and as close to realism as safely possible, Adrenaline Stress Training. Students learn how to harness the power of fear, and find their courage to become their own heroines, not only in class but apply the lessons learned in everyday life.
The tuition price is $595 per person.
July 19th and 20th, 8 am – 6:30 pm on both days.
