                                   Wellness for Body & Spirit  

Stillwaters offers a variety of programs to benefit the total person - body and spirit.


Read Talk Heal - Book Discussion Group         

Our spirituality is personal and develops from our life experience.  It focuses on those values that we hold to be most important.  Our spirituality reflects the meaning and purpose we find in our lives.   It also reflects our desire to live out of a place of wholeness.  We live as whole and healed individuals when we move toward healthy relationships with ourselves, others, creation and the sacred.  Some of us develop our spirituality through religious beliefs, others find their inspiration in nature, music, art or in serving others.  Whatever the source of our spiritual growth, it can strengthen us, connect us with others and provide help and healing in difficult times.  Join us as we gather monthly to share in a discussion of a recent book that may bring new insights to our spiritual journey.  Each discussion will begin with a brief review of the book and will follow with questions to guide our discussion.  It is not necessary to have read the book in order to participate.

Walking Meditation Class for Cancer Patients and Survivors    

Walking meditation is a wonderful practice! When we do walking meditation, we walk a little slower than our normal pace, and we coordinate our breathing with our steps. The purpose of walking meditation is to be in the present moment, aware of our breathing, our walking, and to enjoy every step. Shaking off all worries and anxieties; not thinking about the future, not thinking about the past, just enjoying the present moment. The class will begin by warming up with Qigong; a holistic system of self-healing exercise and meditation, commencing with walking, and then ending with a Chinese energy movement of So Jing.    Join our volunteer facilitator Marilyn Aurora:

1st and 3rd Saturday of each month 9:00 - 10:00 am
