Join us for a complimentary transformative workshop exploring the link between mindfulness and deep inner work. Led by Doc Diego, who has extensive experience with trauma and human performance across various sectors, this session will introduce you to Critical Memory Integration (CMI), a therapeutic approach he co-developed with the Arise Alliance team.

You’ll learn how to reshape your personal narrative by understanding the interplay of memory and emotions, embracing difficult experiences to unlock post-traumatic growth. The workshop will include exercises to help you stay present and connect with your Authentic Self.

We’ll conclude with a soothing sound bath led by Vandana Dillon, featuring crystal singing bowls that promote relaxation, healing, and balance. Enjoy calming aromatherapy, gentle stretches, and guided meditation to integrate your learnings.

Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, and an optional eye cover. This Workshop is now being offered complimentary because of the stress and trauma we have all been through these past few weeks of hurricanes, gas shortage, no electricity and in some cases not even a home to go back to. Please join Diego for this much needed session. Donations are encouraged but not expected.
