Spiritual Well-Being: A Watering the Heart Root Workshop by Mindy Benowitz

An in-person workshop to explore, validate, and deepen our personal spiritual connections. This helps blossom our inner seeds of worthiness, love, compassion, trust, gratitude, intuition, and openness to wise guidance along our paths through life. Designed for folks who a) are “spiritual but not religious”; b) are rooted in a religion they like, or c) haven’t thought much about their spirituality but are curious to explore it. We’ll use music, discussion, anecdotes, and other tools, and strive for a culturally sensitive, inter-spiritual perspective.

Her collection of songs, chants, and workshops blends the wisdom from 35 years of psychotherapy practice, and a lifelong personal healing journey, to share a powerful set of tools for emotional and spiritual well-being, resonating with the human quest for love, connection, social justice and self-discovery. The “Emotional Well-Being” album draws us in with gentle melodies, compelling rhythms, and empowering affirmations, weaving comfort and inner freedom into our daily lives.
