Presenter: Moni Loewen & ROC Eastman staffWednesday, October 2, 2024 | 9:30 am - 10:30 am Do you sometimes feel far away from fellow Recreation colleagues? Floating alone on a raft in a great big river of ideas, possibilities, and challenges? With the help of some ROC tools and activities, we hope this session brings our rafts closer together, throws some ropes to each other, and builds connections with colleagues in the room to make reaching out to each other more comfortable. We are each other's greatest allies and we are absolutely certain that Summit attendees are happy to help each other throughout the year. (Rafts not required.)

In a world of constant demands, our ability to stay grounded is frequently challenged. This workshop offers a sanctuary where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover your inner balance. Through a unique blend of art therapy, mindfulness, somatic practices and artmaking activities (no artistic talent required) you will develop positive coping strategies and self-care tools. By the end of our time together, you'll have a toolkit of simple, practical techniques for self-regulation, stress management, and overall well-being.
