Anxiety & Depression
Our Anxiety & Depression Cohort focuses on using preventative tools in navigating experiences of Anxiety & Depression. We believe the biggest underlying theme of anxiety is rooted in lies, and we carefully cultivate a safe space for one another to identify these lies and replace them with truths. We together learn and practice these tools to combat depression, learn how to recognize the warning signs, and focus on building a robust toolkit that will aid in navigating Anxiety & Depression.
Grief & Boundaries
Our Grief & Boundaries Cohort acknowledges that grief, in its many forms, diminishes our capacity. We equip you with tools to set healthy boundaries, addressing not only the loss of loved ones, but also the grief stemming from shattered dreams, fractured friendships, or the dissolution of community. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' life, we explore how He prioritized holistic well-being through setting boundaries in ministry and navigating his own grief.
Recovering From Trauma & Relationships
Our Trauma cohort focuses on strategies to maintain a grounded, non-anxious presence after experiencing adverse situations. We know that trauma can look different and produce a variety of physical and emotional complexities from person to person. It can be a very personal and difficult thing to dive into, so we approach it together with great care, grace, compassion. This cohort will cover topics like grounding techniques, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, & learning the power of agency.
