If the arrival of Spring has you eager to explore new pursuits, Trumbull Congregational Church has begun another series of evening events designed to provide the perfect mid-week emotional boost.

Called Wellness Wednesdays at TCC, the series, which proved popular during the winter and now runs through June 10, features three different activities aimed at addressing the mind, body and spirit: meditation classes and gentle yoga sessions, as well as a mandala workshop where attendees will learn to paint the geometric artworks that historically have symbolized the universe and are often used in meditation.

The secular programs, which will take place at the church at 3115 Reservoir Avenue, are open to all members of the community, and require no prior experience in any of the activities.

“The overall intent of this series is to create mindful moments for participants,” says Kirsten Nestro, a Trauma-informed Certified Instructor in Mindfulness Meditation who will be leading two of the sessions. “We want to enable attendees to cultivate connections to their true selves through creativity, movement and stillness.”

The schedule and fees for the three activities are as follows:

Meditation – 6-7 p.m. on May 13 and May 20. Participation is $15 per session, or $25 for both.
Gentle Yoga – 6-7 p.m. on June 3 and June 10. Participation is $15 per session, or $25 for both.
Mandala Art – 6-8 p.m. on May 27. Participation is $40, with all materials included.

To register for any of the sessions, simply click this link. Advance registration is required only for the mandala workshop so the instructor can prepare the proper number of materials; otherwise, drop-ins are welcome. Those who sign up ahead of time will receive an email with additional information about the sessions, along with payment details.
