Children\, elders and other community members of all ages welcome! \nAbout the Catalyst Initiative of The Minneapolis Foundation: \nCatalyst is a field of interest fund of The Minneapolis Foundation designed to build integrative health and healing in Minnesota. \nOur Purpose: To honor and foster culturally authentic self-care practices to advance health and well-being. \nCatalyst taps into our innate power to heal and be well through two primary approaches: Self-care as primary care and culturally meaningful trauma healing practices. \nAbout Marnita’s Table: \nMarnita’s Table seeks to measurably increase social capital across race\, class\, culture\, gender and other means of self-identity in order to catalyze transformational change where racial and cultural differences are not viewed as deficits or merely tolerated\, but instead viewed as assets. Experts at social capital building\, over the past thirteen years we’ve welcomed more than 43\,000 people from around the world and the around the way to find common ground while breaking bread. \nAbout Healing from Trauma: \nThe Marnita’s Table model of Intentional Social Interaction is an inclusive forum to exchange ideas and build relationships across age\, ethnicity and other means of self-identity in order to catalyze positive action toward building community resilience. \nOriginally designed and developed in 2015 through collaborative and participatory stakeholder input in partnership with the Catalyst Initiative\, this dialogue series\, now on its 10th iteration\, focuses on the emergent\, community-driven development of actionable ideas about how to improve health outcomes and opportunities to explore the latest research on mind/body techniques in a collaborative and collegial environment. \nWith so many members of our communities currently grappling with historic and secondary trauma\, this event is a timely prevention and healing strategy that recognizes the need for healing in the context of communal support and collaboration. In our work across the state\, Healing from Trauma emerges as our most-requested dialogue\, so to deepen and expand the experience\, we have added new practitioners and sessions to speak to the needs emerging directly from community members and healthcare practitioners across the Greater Twin Cities and elsewhere in Minnesota. \nHealing from Trauma recognizes that healing and building resilience in any community requires many stakeholders who willingly work together at all levels of decision-making impact. \nWe look forward to welcoming you. If you have any questions you may call Marnita’s Table at 612.928.7744.

SUMMARY:LaunchHERE
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Catalyst Initiative of the Minneapolis Foundation\, Here Global Relief and Marnita’s Table on Thursday\, April 19th\, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for a breakfast and dialogue to launch an exciting new neuroscience-based mobile app designed to help you connect with the present and practice meditation throughout the day. \nWe hope you will be with us as we introduce the beta testing phase of HERE\, an application designed for iPhone and iPad that assists in quickly attaining high states of meditation through simple gamification to quell trauma\, stress\, anxiety\, panic and more. For those who struggle to remain present and sit still in quietude\, HERE seamlessly and actively integrates several methods of meditation: staring\, breathing\, and swiping. Meditations accompanied by some movement or designated activity can lift us more promptly to the capability of our high brain\, endowing us with enhanced capacity to problem solve and smooth our course. Join us at LaunchHERE to learn more! \nPlease let us know if you plan to be with us by sending an RSVP via e-mail to elexis@marnitastable.org. \nWhat to Expect: \nExpect to be enlivened\, engaged and to expand your understanding of healing practices in support of wellness and resilience. Together we will capitalize on existing energy\, make new connections and build momentum as we share an abundant cross-cultural and intergenerational feast. \nIf you are receiving this invitation you have been identified as someone who will add and receive extraordinary value through your participation.

Sign up or learn more at the link below! http://hereglobalrelief.us15.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=02bdde0f42c10799a9d07972d&id=da891ab27e Note: Sign-up is at the bottom of the full website. \nCheck out the website HEREGLOBALRELIEF.ORG to understand more as well. \nMore about HERE\, from the app’s creators: \nWe are HERE because trauma is universal. Some form of mental\, emotional\, and physical anguish or stress touches everyone. This trauma inevitably hijacks our high functioning brain\, enabling that primitive part of our brain to take command as we defensively respond with the urge to Flee\, Fight or Freeze. For our survival\, we are wired to connect. When we descend into difficult internal\, mental or emotional states\, we might discharge these feelings to those around us\, or even isolate ourselves. When we meditate\, whether passively or actively\, we may find our serenity\, our composure. It is HERE we employ our High brain to heal ourselves\, as well as spread our newfound composure to brighten our world! \nMeditation rewires destructive brain patterns and helps reduce trauma cycles. Just a few minutes of meditation a day can be markedly beneficial to your overall outlook and secured wellness. \nUsers include: first responders\, staff\, and afflicted in hospitals\, schools\, refugees\, shelters\, in- and outpatient treatment centers\, children\, parents\, family members\, partners together\, the compromised and the very healthy. (5 years and up) Those who want to learn to meditate and those who meditate through life.
