Part of the free WellSpring Recovery System community program, this Weekly Wellness Workshop at NAMI Hernando Community Center focuses on practical tools for regulating the nervous system and working with energy. Designed as an accessible starting point that also welcomes experienced practitioners, it offers an interactive, module-based format rather than a lecture or open forum. Participants explore a range of introductory practices, including gentle movement such as yoga, tai chi, and qigong, mindful breathing, energy and acupressure techniques, sensory awareness exercises, and meditation, beginning and ending with guided awareness. The aim is to help practitioners build a personal toolkit they can rely on when challenges arise in their healing journey. The broader WellSpring program also includes talks, literature study, community connection meetings, journaling groups for discovering the authentic self, and Sanyama Sessions that incorporate EFT with guided meditation, all centered on self-regulation and empowerment.
