SUMMARY:Connect\, Visualize & Create + Bevies: Alignment
DESCRIPTION:THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELLED. \nJoin Joalida and Susan on a monthly meditation and art evening where we will use visualisation to connect with your inner self to access our universal creativity to live a life of purpose and meaning. Susan will start the evening with a guided meditation and visualisation\, we will then move to Joalida’s studio and explore visually what came up for us during the meditation. No prior art experience required. All materials and snacks provided. \nJoalida Smit is a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist who lived and worked in London (UK) and Cape Town (SA) for the past 20 years. She pivoted to full time artist during COVID and now runs an art studio at The Gorton Center working on large scale canvases. Currently she is exploring innovative ways to incorporate art in the psychology work of personal transformation. \nSusan is local to Lake Bluff and can’t wait to share yoga with more people in her community. She’s been teaching yoga for 6+ years and practicing for 12+ years and received her teacher training at Forever Om. When not on her mat\, Susan gains most of her energy surrounded by friends and family\, love and laughter truly is the best medicine! Susan teaches at Toned Yoga in Lake Bluff and Black Cat Yoga in Libertyville.  \n  \n“When I started my yoga journey\, I couldn’t balance or focus…the concept of flow and presence was foreign. I was inflexible physically\, mentally and emotionally. Through yoga I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge that supports and strengthens every aspect of my life. Everyone is on a path\, your journey is your journey. As a human and instructor\, I pride myself on honoring my students journey and encourage each student to empower themselves with grace and self love on and off their mat. “

SUMMARY:Divorcing with Dignity
DESCRIPTION:Are you or someone you know contemplating a divorce?  This workshop will help you to understand the best options for you and your family.  If a couple can communicate and be fair and reasonable\, divorce mediation is a path that allows a couple to make 100% of their own decisions about parenting\, financial and property divisions\, child support and alimony\, while allowing them to greatly minimize the negative impact of their divorce on their most valuable assets\, their children. \nMediation is also the least costly and quickest way to get through a divorce in a less stressful manner.  In this session\, you will learn about divorce mediation\, what it is\, how it works\, what it requires\, and why it is the healthiest and least expensive way to divorce. \nIf you cannot attend in-person\, you can contact Michael Cohen through his website at michaelsmediation.com to meet 1:1 to review this same information in a confidential manner. \nMichael Cohen is a divorce mediator in Lake Forest who is dedicated to helping families get through the stressful process of a divorce in the healthiest way for the couple and for their children.  During a successful career leading diverse teams for a large local company\, Michael trained at Northwestern University to gain his divorce mediation certification and has built a practice whose purpose is to help others.  Michael is a caring\, empathetic leader who will take the time to understand your passions and priorities\, and will guide you to help you create the best solutions for you and your families.
