Thursday, March 30: Amy Cheadle will present on goal setting. Amy has been an ACE Group Fitness Instructor since 2015 and Yoga Fit Level One certified since 2015. Her session will focus on setting goals in 7 areas, including Financial, Career, Recreation/Free Time, Physical Fitness/Health, Family/Friend Relationships, Personal Goals and Community Service.

Thursday, April 6th: Alex Sanchez, Lead Direct Reentry Navigator and ‘formerly incarcerated credible messenger’, will be our presenter. Alex will talk about his employer, Underground Ministries whose Mission Statement states: Underground Ministries opens new relationships of embrace and trust between the incarcerated and the communities to which they return — for our mutual transformation and resurrection.  Alex will talk about the organization and the role he plays in the organization and will be available for questions.

Thursday, April 20: Amy Cheadle will present on Neuro Emotional Tapping Therapy, similar to EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), which involves tapping on pressure points on your body. This helps your body break the neurological and emotional ties embedded in the nervous system allowing clients to release the emotions and memories relating to traumas, fears, PTSD, phobias, addictions, anxieties and pain. 

Thursday, May 11: Millie Holtcamp of Family Promise of Skagit Valley will present. The mission of Family Promise of Skagit Valley is to come together as a community to support homeless families as they work to provide their children with loving homes. Rather than being separated based on gender or age, families stay together in an environment that is comfortable, private, and safe. Low expenses are maintained by using existing community facilities and resources, and by relying on volunteers. Families are given support with finding employment and housing.

Thursday, May 25: Amy Patty Colvin will present “From Unsure to Unstoppable. Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Or like you know where you want to go but are not sure you’ll ever arrive? Do you want to create positive change but have a hard time sticking with it? We’ve all been there at one time or another—whether we’re trying to cultivate our professional life, find harmony in our relationships, are attempting to lose weight, or desire to become healthier. Sometimes you just feel unsure; that’s part of being human. Use Mindfulness, Movement, and Mindset to transform your outlook and confidence. NOTE: This BBL will involve movement with Qi Gong and will be 1.5 hours long.
