Healers in Practice & Play: May

Healers in Play & Practice

Join us for a day of healing and fun at Patapsco Valley State Park - Hilton Area in Catonsville, MD, USA. This in-person event is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and explore various healing practices. Whether you're a seasoned healer or just starting your journey, this event offers a safe and supportive space to learn and grow.

About the Organizers:

Jenn Sowers, LCSW-C (Founder of Wellness with Jenn) is a Certified Nature Informed Therapist who uses the healing benefits inherent in nature to help people feel more connected, live more authentically, and improve their mental wellbeing.

Rasa Ghaffarian, PhD (Founder of Root Essence Coaching) is a Holistic Health Coach who specializes in mind-body practices and nervous system regulation for those who struggle with anxiety, burnout, and chronic pain.

Purpose:

This event was thought up by Jenn and Rasa as we planned and organized healing events for the community. We noted some things we were missing in our planning: people to have fun and brainstorm with, opportunities to practice and experiment with group ideas, a way to receive feedback from fellow healers, and an enjoyable & supportive networking platform.

Our Goal in hosting this monthly event is to have healers from various professions come together and share groups/events they plan to host. If you have a specific activity that you've been thinking about offering to clients or the community at large, we invite you to bring those ideas and either a) just talk through and brainstorm with healing peers, or b) take time during our event to lead your activity, where the rest of us healers will engage as participants, so you can practice and feel more comfortable hosting your own event. You are welcome to request as much or as little feedback as you desire after sharing your activity.

The Networking Aspect: We hope that after we experience each other's activities, we will each feel more comfortable and confident in referring people to each other's events. Please come with a mindset of abundance: we are in community, not competition.

The Unstructured Aspect: During times that we're together and no one has a structured event/activity to share, we hope to find ways to play and enjoy ourselves. This will largely be unstructured, but there may be times that we bring 'play' items, and you're welcome to bring some of your own as well (ideas of items we may bring: hula hoops, yoga mats, music for dancing/mindful movement, ideas for nature art, etc).

Who is this for: This event is for anyone who identifies as working in a healing profession and is open to sharing, collaborating, referring, providing feedback, and creating a supportive community. Healers can include, but are not limited to: therapists, life coaches, nutritionists, people who offer healing arts/music/etc, yoga instructors, meditation teachers, etc.
