Mindful Pathways: A Wellness Journey with Lisa Cooper from The Muse Writers Center

Mindful Pathways: A Wellness Journey is a trauma-informed stress reduction class designed specifically for men and women residing in shelters who are healing from domestic violence and/or substance use challenges. This gentle, empowering program integrates mindfulness practices such as meditation, chair yoga, expressive journaling/creative writing, and therapeutic art activities to foster emotional resilience, self-awareness, and inner peace. Participants are invited to reconnect with their bodies, explore their thoughts and feelings creatively, and cultivate tools for managing stress and promoting holistic well-being. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to show up and begin the journey toward healing.
