On this episode of the Find Calm Here Podcast, I share my gratitude for the many people who've helped support the creation and implementation of the Find Calm Here Community, live workshops, and interactive virtual events throughout the past year. If you are new here, I’d like to take you through the journey of how this community was built, and give credit to those who’ve helped support this little idea I’ve had into what it is today, and what I hope it will become for the future.The very first Find Calm Here “event” was an “open house” at my apartment, to share how I’ve created a space of calm, with the products and services I’ve come to depend on for helping me get through tough days, deal with depression, cope with loneliness, and become resilient.A close friend, Lisa, who started her own interior design company, helped me create a mood board for my apartment.Years of learning the benefits of essential oils, thanks to my friend Leah, I invited her to speak about how essential oils have helped her manage stress and offer relief for physical and emotional ailments.A dear friend, Elaine is a brilliant painter and mixed-media artist who’s been a bright light in some dark times. Her friendship has been really valuable to me and when seeing a piece that fits perfectly, I knew it was right.Attending the workshop, she shared her unique process and detailed this piece for inspiring others to incorporate meaningful artwork intentionally in their spaces for finding calmKaren, a yoga instructor, mindfulness teacher, and personal friend has held space for me to share my deepest darkest feelings and bring not only light, energy, and awareness, but offered to share her Balanced Life approach during our workshop. Her ability to bring us into the present brings a sense of calm and was a delight during this workshop.Since April, we’ve had over 30 virtual workshops It is with this gratitude that I ask you to join us inside the private community, where I’ll be looking to you for how I can help you this coming yearYou’ve helped me by just showing up, contributing with comments, sharing with resources, and guiding us with your story of calm.Thank you so very much, I’m grateful for each and everyone who’s been a part of Find Calm Here this year!Find Calm Here is an online community offering resources to build mindful habits by hosting interactive workshops and cultivating conversations around self-care practices, healthy lifestyles, and creating positive minSupport the showThe Community Strategy Podcast (CSP) offers interviews with online community leaders who share their community-building journey.
