Throughout August and September, Home Remedies hosted two wonderful free six-week series in Spruce Pine. It offered an opportunity for folks to learn, move, slow down, and connect with others in the community who may be dealing with chronic pain or stress.
Home Remedies was excited to work with a new Home Remedies provider, sumr s breez, who led an invigorating Qigong/Tai Chi Easy series focusing on mindful, controlled movement and breathwork. Twenty-five people participated, learning gentle Qigong and Tai Chi flows and breathing techniques that they can use in everyday life to relax and improve their mobility. Thank you to the Spruce Pine Public Library for providing a wonderful space to meet and for even joining in a few sessions!
Home Remedies also held a six-week Healthy Living Series at the YMCA Healthy Living Center on Upper Street, which eighteen people attended. Six different local practitioners each presented a two-hour session on topics including Traditional Asian Medicine, Expressive Arts Therapy, Ayurveda, Whole-Health living tips, and plant-based eating.
Thank you to all the wonderful practitioners who presented at the series and to the YMCA Healthy Living Center for providing a welcoming space to connect, try new activities, learn about wellness, and sample some delicious healthy foods.
