It’s a natural part of this project called life.
It’s time to rethink the way we look at depression, says author Eric Maisel. If we can begin to move from the “depression is a mental disorder” model to the idea that human beings must deal more effectively with the realities of human existence, including the realities of sadness, despair and grief, we will have taken a giant step away from “medicalizing everything” and toward lives lived with renewed passion, power and purpose.

Ani’s Spiritual Salon is a cozy gathering where everyone has the opportunity to ask questions on any topic related to general metaphysics.

You name it, we’ll discuss it! No subject related to spirituality/metaphysics is off limits.

NCX Wellness Night |
Finding Meaning in Loss
 |
The experience of caring for a loved one through terminal illness and eventual loss can be incredibly isolating and emotionally overwhelming. Dr. Lani Leary, author of No One Has to Die Alone, shares accessible insights, practical tools, and personal stories to provide a sense of community, profound relief, and deep meaning for both caregiver and patient through illness, death and bereavement. Dr. Leary has over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with chronically ill, dying and bereaved clients. Leary also garners wisdom from her personal experience — her mother’s death when she was a child, her father’s death from cancer, her own profound near-death experience — and has sat with over 500 people as they died.
