Wellness Walk
Jul
24

Wellness Walk

A wellness walk is not about distance or destination, but about presence. It's an intentional activity designed to support healing after trauma.

After experiencing mass violence, public and community spaces can feel overwhelming or threatening. Wellness walks create a supportive bridge back to shared social environments. Walking alongside others who understand trauma's impact helps rebuild trust in community settings at a comfortable pace. MRC staff will be there for support and conversation.

Time spent in natural settings can reduce stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and activate our parasympathetic nervous system—the body's natural relaxation response.

We suggest that you:

  • Wear comfortable clothing and supportive shoes
  • Bring water and any medications you might need
  • Consider bringing a journal to record thoughts or feelings
  • Remember you can step away or take breaks whenever needed

Creative Drop-In
Jul

Creative Drop-In

Are you an artist, photographer, songwriter, poet, writer, fiber artist, creative soul, OR want to explore your creative side?

Do you have a work in progress? Have a new idea or project to start? Need some inspiration? Looking for some feedback?

There's something powerful about creating in community. When we work with our hands, we give our minds permission to rest and process. When we share creative space with others, we remember that we're not alone in our experiences. Art has always been a language that speaks when words fall short, and together we can explore that language in whatever way feels right for each of us.

The simple act of making something – whether it's a bracelet, a poem, a drawing, or even just doodling – can be profoundly grounding. It connects us to the present moment and reminds us of our capacity to create beauty, even in difficult times.

We invite you to drop in and get creative with the MRC advocates. ASL interpretation will be available.
