Led by Jenni Foltz

In this meditation, we use our imagination to bring to mind various things that we love, and then we notice our bodies response. Our brains do not know the difference between a real and an imagined experience, so, as we turn our attention towards things that nourish us, we deepen our experience of joy, balance, and ease in our bodies. Our brains are also wired to notice what is wrong, not working, or in pain. This is called negativity bias. As we practice bringing our attention

again and again to things that bring us back to joy and wholeness, we begin to naturally increase our wellbeing and resilience.

Jennifer Foltz (she/her) is devoted to kindness, compassion, and fostering a deep sense of connection, inspiration and joy for herself and others. In her career she serves as a biodynamic craniosacral therapist, yoga teacher, and compassion-centered coach. Having traversed her own recovery from traumatic brain injury, she genuinely understands the importance of slowing down, deep listening and opening to one's inner resilience and health. At the same time, she feels it is essential to nurture creativity, playfulness, and joy. Her teaching and private practice are richly informed by her work with animals (horses & dogs), various dance, sound, singing, breath & movement practices, as well as meditation rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Many of her clients are neurodivergent and may be recovering from concussions, traumatic brain injuries, or strokes. She also works with people who are feeling anxious, depressed, and sick of feeling out of sorts in their body.
