View this email in your browser ASAP Wellness Workshop – Finding Emotional Balance Through Breath, Sound, and Somatic Awareness  As we navigate uncertain and challenging times, it can feel increasingly difficult to find a sense of calm and groundedness. Research shows that sound healing—using tools like singing bowls—along with breathwork, can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Across many cultures, sound has long been used as a form of healing and emotional restoration. We will explore practices that support emotional balance and psychological well-being. Through breath, sound meditation, and somatic awareness (tuning into the body’s sensations), participants will be guided into a state of stillness and deeper connection with themselves. *Please bring something comfortable to sit or lie down on, as well as a hat or sunscreen. 📅 Wednesday, July 16th I ⏱️ 12:10pm to 12:50pm Location📍: Faculty Lawn (Commencement Green) RSVP! 💸 Upcoming Opportunity: Free Financial Literacy Class  In response to staff interest in professional and personal development, we’re excited to offer a free two-part financial literacy class designed to support long-term financial well-being. 📚 Course: Understanding Money with Bruce Miller 📅 Dates: Wednesdays, July 16 (in person, SRB Multipurpose Room) & July 23 (Zoom) ⏰ Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM 📝 Registration Required This two-part series will offer practical tools and approachable insights on managing personal finances — and we’d love for you to join us!
