Peace and Presence: Mindful Meditation

Peace & Presence is a Columbia SVR initiative that introduces diverse holistic wellness tools and techniques for survivors of sexual trauma to experience and adapt to their own wellness needs. The program envisions a space where survivors feel held, understood without having to explain themselves, and given space to breathe and connect with one another in profoundly spiritual and experiential ways. Through its multi-faceted approach to mindfulness, movement and nurturing of one’s body, this program hopes to aid survivors to recognize and cherish their innate capacity to transcend trauma while being connected to a caring community of allies.

In this workshop, participants will be guided through mindful meditation exercises focused on bringing a sense of awareness and peace to our physiological and affective states. Participants will learn tools to feel more connected to themselves and their physical environment. We will begin with a body scan coupled with diaphragmatic breathing and then engage in guided visualizations to support a sense of well-being and connectedness. All levels of experience with mindfulness are welcome. No materials are needed for this workshop.
