We invite you to join us monthly for a chance to return to your Caritas Community to share and reconnect.

From Heart to Pen: Meditation and Journaling for Caregiver Resilience
Presenter: Sandra Mohsan, CRN, BSN, PHN, TNP, Caritas Coach
Enlighten Your Soul: Meditation & Journaling for the Caregiver’s Heart. Join author and caregiver advocate Sandra Mohsan for a restorative and interactive session. We will begin with a guided meditation featuring a healing crystal singing bowl and a meditation created by Sandra. Please have a pen, paper, or your journal ready. You will be invited to write down your experience immediately following the meditation. Sandra will then open the space for shared reflection, either in breakout rooms or as a group, inviting participants to share their perceptions of the meditation. She will close with a short introduction to what meditation means to her, and why daily journaling has become an essential practice to enlighten the soul, reduce caregiver stress, and reconnect with yourself. No experience is necessary. Come as you are.
