I'm feeling this

We were never meant to live in constant *awareness* of so many problems and worries. We are more connected than any other humans in history, but we are also more anxious and agitated. It’s good to give yourself rest from the noise and replenish. ♥️ ~ Nanea

Hello everyone!
We are excited to invite you to join us for the Stark Pride March on Saturday, June 13th!
The march route is approximately 0.5 miles long and is a wonderful opportunity to show support
for the LGBTQ+ community and walk together.
We will meet and check in at 12:15 PM at the new EN-RICH-MENT location:
901 Market Ave N
Canton, OH 44702
The march will begin around 1:00–1:15 PM.
This year we will be wearing matching t-shirts! We ask that members attending order their own
shirts. Shirts can be purchased for $14 at the link here: https://a.co/d/0dba5P7V
Please note that parking in the area is limited and there is no reserved parking for marchers, so
carpooling or ride share services (Uber, Lyft, etc.) is encouraged if you are able.
During the march, we will also be handing out business cards with pride pins attached to
audience members along the route.
We would love for you to join us as we walk together in support. Hope to see you there!

Ever feel like you’re "stuck" in your head or overwhelmed by the noise of life? This Sunday, May 17th, we are honored to have Jessy Mathes of Wandering Workshops lead us through a session dedicated to moving through our emotions rather than around them.
Jessy’s approach isn't about being a "perfect artist"—it’s about using creativity as a bridge to our physical sensations. Having navigated her own journey through mental health disorders and nervous system recovery, Jessy brings a deep, lived understanding of how we can use art to let our feelings out in a physical, colorful way.
When: Sunday, May 17th

Join us for a grounding meditation followed by abstract creation.

Zero Skill Required: If you can hold a brush or a crayon, you’re qualified! This is about the process of healing and the joy of whimsy, not making a masterpiece.
Come as you are. Let’s create some space for our hearts to speak.
