The workshops provide a FREE educational resource on ways we can empower ourselves through using complementary and alternative approaches to holistic health and wellness as well as the healing and nourishing benefits and uses of herbs in our daily lives.

Each workshop is presented by a service provider affiliated with the Center for the Well Being.

Workshop attendees will learn by hands-on demonstration how to make and use herbal products aligned to the monthly topic.

Topics include:
- Self-Care for the Mind, Body and Spirit
- Seasonal Wellness
- Herbalism 101
- Mindfulness
- Healthy Sleep Habits
- Ayurveda Basics
- Daily Self-Care Routines
- Overcoming Depression
- Stress Management
- Living with PTSD
- Pain Relief
- Addiction and Recovery
- Women’s Health

Attendees will leave with an herbal product - such as a tea, tincture, or capsules – made at the workshop. They will also take with them the knowledge of the beneficial properties of the herbs used, how to prepare and use the product at home, and an opportunity to purchase additional herbs and supplies from the center, thereby generating revenue from sales to supplement donations received from The Well Being's Herbal Allies Workshop Series project.

Our upcoming initiative in The Well Mind program... Wounded to Well: Healing Through the Chakras

Beginning in January and going until mid-summer, we will work systematically with each of the chakras - from Root to Crown - exploring the healing potential of the body's subtle energy system and our ability to work with traumas and illnesses directly at the corresponding energy source.

Wounded to Well: Healing Through the Chakras consists of a series of monthly workshops held on the last Saturday of each month, for the local community in the Northern Virginia area. During these one-hour in-person group workshops, we will explore in depth each chakra and its energies, understand how our unhealed traumas can manifest as illnesses and imbalances, and learn ways we can work with each of the chakras to heal ourselves.

Workshops will focus on one chakra each month, beginning with the Root chakra:
- Root - Basic Trust and Security
- Sacral - Sexuality and Creativity
- Solar Plexus - Wisdom and Power
- Heart - Love and Healing
- Throat - Communication
- Third Eye - Awareness
- Crown - Spirituality and Understanding

Wounded to Well: Healing Through the Chakras is facilitated by:
- Kim Muehlbauer, Founder and President of Center for the Well Being, Inc. and Certified Mindset Coach. Her holistic approach to coaching can be found at www.TheWellnessMindsetCoach.com.
- Odis McKinzie, Director of Mental Health Services and Owner of Healing Touch Counseling, LLC . His areas of expertise and approach to mental health and healing can be found at www.healingtouchcounseling.com.
