🍂🕯️ **OCTOBER AT THE MIND BODY COLLECTIVE** 🕯️🍂 O 🍂🕯️ **OCTOBER AT THE MIND BODY COLLECTIVE** 🕯️🍂 October brings cooler air, longer nights, changing leaves, and a little extra mystery. 🌙🕸️ As the season shifts, we’re invited to slow down, turn inward, and make space for what’s next. Join us this month for movement, mindfulness, rest, reflection, and connection. 🌿 ✨ **WEEKLY OFFERINGS** 🌿 **Sundays | 10 AM–12 PM** The Forest Church 🥋 **Tuesdays & Thursdays | 6:30 PM** Taekwondo 🧘 **Wednesdays | 4:15 PM** Yoga for Everyone 🪷 **Saturdays | 8:30–9:30 AM** Recovery Dharma 🌬️ **Saturdays | 10–11 AM** Breathwork & Meditation 🍂 **OCTOBER SPECIAL EVENTS** 🔔 **Sun, Oct. 18 | 12:30 PM** **3rd Sunday Community Sound Bath** with **High Heal Doula** Pause, settle in, and simply be. Let the resonance of sound and vibration help quiet the mind, release tension, and reconnect you with your body. Come get comfortable and allow yourself an hour of stillness and restoration. ✨ 🌑 **Wed, Oct. 21 | 6:30 PM** **The Conscious Reset** with **Bethany Moore** An evening of breathwork, meditation, visualization & journaling to release what no longer serves you and create space for what comes next. 🌿 **Sat, Oct. 24 | 11:30 AM** **Community Acupuncture** with **Kaylee Vincent, LAc** 🌕 **Mon, Oct. 26 | 6:15 PM** **Full Moon Restorative Class + Yoga Nidra** with **Paige** 🍁 October reminds us that turning inward isn’t the same as standing still. Sometimes growth happens in the quiet—in the pause, the deeper breath, and the moment we give ourselves permission to rest. As the leaves change and the nights grow longer, slow down. Notice what your body is asking for. Release what you’ve outgrown. Make room for something new. **Come as you are. Slow down. Listen inward. Make space for what’s next.** 💚 #TheMindBodyCollective #NewOrleansWellness #OctoberWellness #FallWellness #NewOrleansEvents #CommunityWellness #SoundBath #Acupuncture #YogaNidra #Breathwork #Meditation #RecoveryDharma @highhealdoula @theindigo_coach @somethingxena @lilp.pecoul @theforestnola
🍂 HELLO, SEPTEMBER 🍂 The seasons are shifting. S 🍂 HELLO, SEPTEMBER 🍂 The seasons are shifting. Summer is beginning to soften, the days grow shorter, and autumn is inviting us to slow down, turn inward, and make space for what comes next. Fall reminds us that letting go is part of the process.

Come as you are. Find your center.
