THE CALENDAR OF WEEKLY CLASSES, CLINICS AND WORKSHOPS.
Quality sleep is so important for your overall health and well-being. And it’s really important for healthy brain function! Sleep is when your body regenerates, repairs, and rests. Without this precious time, your body misses out on these vital functions which can lead to chronic inflammation, faster aging, increased stress, and more. Sleep is also vital for our immune system function – which is extremely important right now!
Want to learn how to sleep well? Join me for this 60 min class where we’ll talk about why sleep is important, steps you can take to improve your sleep, and tips/tricks to mitigate common sleep issues.
Don’t wait! Book this class now – your body will thank you 🙂
Class will be held online via zoom. You don’t need an account to participate! A link to join the class will be emailed out 30 min before class starts.
Suggested cost for this class is $15. If you are not able to afford the cost at this time, please let me know what you are able to pay (even if that is $0) and I will get you registered for this class.

In this hands-on class, we’ll make a nut milk and nut butter together online via zoom! Once you register, you will be provided recipes you can make with me. Gather the ingredients and supplies you’ll need prior to class time, and then we’ll make the recipes together! I’ll be demonstrating via video as we make the recipes and also be available for any questions you may have while making the recipes with me. Of course, if you’d prefer to just watch, you can do that too, but wouldn’t it be better if at the end of the class you had your own nut milk and nut butter to enjoy? I think so!
Here are the options of what you can make during this class:
- Nut Butter: Almond, Chocolate Hazelnut, or Walnut-Cashew
- Nut Milk: Almond, Cashew, or Coconut
Class will be held online via zoom. You don’t need an account to participate! A link to join the class will be emailed out 30 min before class starts.

This is an early evening session built to familiarize us with and practice the deeper realms of life through contemplative practices; sitting meditation, poetry, embodied ease, appreciative enquiry, the practices of compassion, and more. To acknowledge in a first-hand way our capacity to be with ourselves in a generous and loving mode. Especially now as we continue to wrestle with ‘distancing’ in so many ways.
We will periodically during the evening consider the thoughts and poetry of those who have experienced and explored loneliness. The poet David Whyte talks generously about the transformation of loneliness to rich and meaningful solitude here: How Loneliness Tells Us Where to Go. Psychiatrist Sue Varma in her interview on NPR talks about her experiences working with folks in states of isolation, loneliness and trauma and what it means and how to work with it in our current times of quarantine and isolation: What it means to face trauma in a household of one.
A bibliography of resources will be provided.
As with all my courses, this is no substitute for therapy or medical care. If you are feeling overwhelmed with isolation or other aspects of life always check in with your physician or therapist. This course, and all of my courses, intend to help us nurture what is vibrant within us even when it feels a bit hidden with life’s difficulties. This is not a therapeutic intervention to fix something that is acutely challenging. Visit your physician of therapist for that. If you need, I will be glad to provide you with names and contact information for the therapists and physicians who know these programs and may be able to accept you as a new client/patient.
Online on Saturday, May 16th; 4-6pm. $25 tuition. Book Now. As always this term reach out to me if you have been impacted in recent weeks by the consequences of the pandemic; job loss, illness, reduced working hours. Reach out to me and I will provide a place for you in class.
Kind Regards — Brant
