A path toward healing, together.

Mind-Body Medicine is an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to nervous system regulation and trauma intervention that blends self-awareness, breath work, meditation, creative expression, and human to human connection.

A Unique Model for Community Healing.

The unique aspect of this model, developed by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (cmbm.org), is the focus on human to human connection. This dual focus not only strengths the community as a whole, but enhances the benefits to individual participants. Communities at large benefit from leaders with greater self-awareness, empathetic capacity, and self-regulation to endure hard conversations, make challenging decisions, and tolerate the day-to-day pressures of leadership.

    Low cost drop in sessions are available to the Asheville community as we are able to offer them. Simply show up, and be gently guided through whichever technique we’re working with that day. It’s an easy and accessible way to create a moment of peace if you’re feeling frayed.

    Community Education Program

    A program is a series (usually consecutive weeks) of workshops covering 8 to 12 techniques. Each session dives into the experience of a new technique as well as the science behind why it works. This immersive two month program gives participants a well developed tool box dismantle stress, cultivate peace, and develop awareness of what changes when we engage with these skills regularly.

    We offer these as we are able, and as we sense interest. Join our mailing list to stay up to date. If you are interested and don’t see a program on the calendar, please send an inquiry!

    Minimum of 6 people needed.
