One in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime - it affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults every year. PTSD can occur in anyone of any age, ethnicity, nationality, or culture. The lifetime prevalence in adolescents (aged 13 -18) is 8%, and women are twice as likely than men to have PTSD.
PTSD may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of distressing circumstances, including natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, rape/sexual assault, historical trauma/war, intimate partner violence and bullying. A person may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening, and this could affect the person’s mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being.
Unfortunately, long after the traumatic event has ended, people with PTSD may continue to have intense, disturbing thoughts, and feelings related to their experience.
This workshop aims to provide an in-depth understanding about PTSD including current treatments and updated research studies on the condition, as well as introducing participants to a meditation method focused on cleansing stressed mind to help relieve the PTSD symptoms.
Maria and Evan's Healing Meditation Class was amazing! I love how we started with gratitude exercises and then began the meditation. What a great session!!!!
Awesome class!
This class is excellent! Blake and the crew exceeded my expectations. I feel renewed and motivated every time I join.
First time attending and it was really great. Used to do yoga but life got in the way so now due to some unexpected life changes I’m practicing again and incorporating meditation to ease anxiety and stress so this was a great combination. Thank you so much!!
