Lyme Alliance Empowerment Circle (A Monthly Online Gathering)

If your system has been running on high alert, this is an invitation to pause, soften, and come back to yourself.
Peace Practice is an invitation to slow down — a space to ground and reconnect with the body’s natural rhythms of rest, digestion, and repair. The practices are gentle and body-based, offering simple ways to support your nervous system, especially during times when life feels intense or overwhelming.
Our virtual time together centers on cultivating inner peace through nervous system regulation. When the body receives cues of safety, chronic stress responses can soften, allowing the mind, emotions, and physiology to work together rather than remaining in survival mode.
Each session includes a live, guided practice with gentle meditation, somatic and vagus nerve exercises, grounding, and quiet reflection.
Peace Practice is offered once a month and will always remain free, because access to nervous system support should be available to everyone.
We meet on the first Wednesday of each month via Zoom 12:00 PM Pacific / 2:00 PM Central / 3:00 PM Eastern
All that’s needed is a willingness to arrive exactly as you are.

Connection, grounding, singing, movement &amp; somatic practices to regulate the nervous system and restore resilience together.
The Collective Medicine Circle is a monthly mindfulness circle rooted in nature, seasonal rhythms, and nervous system regulation, held in Orinda, CA. This in-person gathering offers a steady, supportive space to slow down, ground, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the natural cycles that shape our lives.
Guided by mindfulness practices and nature-based reflection, each circle is gently shaped by the season we are in. Together we explore grounding tools, nervous system regulation practices, and shared inquiry that support presence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. This is not a class to perform or perfect — it is a circle to arrive, exhale, and be human.
The Collective Medicine Circle is ideal for those seeking stress relief, mindfulness in community, and a consistent monthly ritual for nervous system support. No prior experience with meditation or mindfulness is needed. All are welcome to come exactly as they are. 
This is a scent-free, trauma-informed space that honors accessibility, inclusivity, and the wisdom of moving at the pace of nature.
