Patricia Gradler, ERYT, is an Ayurvedic Health Counselor and Yoga Instructor. The language of Sanskrit was used in India about five thousand years ago, and Ayurveda dates back at least that far. The Sanskrit word ayur means “self” and veda means “knowledge”. Therefore, Ayurveda is the study of the self. Understanding that everything in the universe is derived from the five great elements (that means you and me too), Ayurveda teaches us to find a balance in all that we choose in our life. Every individual is a microcosm of the larger macrocosm, yet everyone has a set of life circumstances that make them unique.

Wellness Night: Come meet Patricia to discuss the Ayurvedic approach to boosting the immune system, the Ayurvedic clock and how you can navigate these concepts toward your own path of optimal health and wellness.

10 THRIVE THERAPY SPACE • 3910 CAUGHEY ROAD, SUITE 120 – CONTINUED

Art for Wellbeing Everywhere – Creativity brings wonder. Wonder brings hope. Hope brings change. When we create art, it is a witness to a different reality, one we manifest from our imaginations. Even when we draw from our lives—a flower from our own garden, for example—each person’s sunflower will be different, unique to his or her own experience of it. A piece of art is a mirror of each person’s individuality. The wonder that is caused by creating, by translating our experiences with paint or clay or scissors and glue, is universal. The joy in knowing “I made this” is the same throughout our lives. Sometimes, discovery is part of that joy. A feeling or idea manifested on paper, canvas, or in clay can surprise us and empower us to think differently. In this modern world, self-expression can feel risky. AWE seeks to create a community atmosphere, where personal challenges—stress, hardships or disabilities—do not define or limit the art-making experience. Each event is a community experience where we co-create a supportive aesthetic, as each attendee explores his or her own creativity. AWE offers, private art classes, parties, events and exhibits for the public sector. Corporate wellness and team building events are also available.

Wellness Night: You will meet Anne Cutri, and the lovely space she will be doing her new offering: SoulCollage®. SoulCollage® is an image only based self-discovery tool that offers depth, reflection and community. Find your inner tribe and connect with a group (a tribe) of like-minded people. There is much synchronicity and connection to be celebrated! Also find out about other art-based classes I offer as a means to self-care. The Mandala, the Tree of Life, and many other classes available. I can design a curriculum or workshop to fit your needs no matter what organization. Light refreshments.
