Therapeutic Art Group: Zentangle/Mandalas: Diana Robinson and John Davis

This therapeutic art group for ages 16+ invites participants to explore healing, mindfulness, and self-expression through the creative practice of Zentangle and Mandala art. These structured yet calming art forms encourage focus, grounding, emotional regulation, and present-moment awareness while providing a gentle outlet for stress reduction and self-reflection.

Research continues to support the clinical connection between creative expression, mindfulness-based practices, and improvements in anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma symptoms, and overall mental wellness. The repetitive patterns and intentional design process used in Zentangle and Mandala work can help calm the nervous system, increase concentration, promote relaxation, and create a greater sense of inner balance and self-awareness.

No artistic experience is needed — only a willingness to slow down, create, and engage in a supportive and judgment-free environment.

The post We’re excited to share this month’s groups and wellness offerings at Center for Hope and Healing! appeared first on Center for Hope and Healing.

We are so excited to welcome Maribeth Gutshall back to the Center for Hope and Healing as she helps us continue creating opportunities for healing through movement, connection, and wellness. Maribeth brings such a supportive, encouraging energy and a genuine passion for helping others reconnect with their strength — both physically and emotionally.

Fitness has been Maribeth’s passion for more than 15 years. Having survived her own medical trauma, she deeply understands how important movement and staying active can be in the healing process. As a group fitness and personal trainer, she loves motivating others to push past limitations, build confidence, and move toward healthier, more empowered lives. Combat/Kickboxing is one of her favorite classes to teach because of the strength, stress release, and confidence it can help build in others.

Outside of the gym, Maribeth loves staying active, enjoying beach days, loving on dogs, and embracing all things Disney.

Join us for Combat Fitness — a beginner-friendly weekly class designed to improve both physical and emotional wellness through guided movement, cardio, strength building, and healthy stress release techniques inspired by combat-style fitness training. This class is not about aggression — it is about empowerment, resilience, confidence, and reconnecting the mind and body in a safe, trauma-informed environment.

Research continues to show the strong connection between aerobic movement and improvements in depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, stress management, confidence, and overall mental health. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, reconnect with your body, gain confidence, or simply take one healthy step forward, this class welcomes you exactly as you are.

Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with words… sometimes it begins with rhythm.

Join us this Friday at noon for Restorative Rhythms, a powerful drumming and percussion experience designed to promote emotional healing, stress relief, connection, and self-expression through music. Center for Hope and Healing is excited to welcome Dani Fiore, founder of Empowered Music LLC, a music lesson studio and the first proudly LGBTQ-inclusive music school in Central PA to facilitate our experience !

Through shared rhythm, participants are invited to release tension, reconnect with themselves, and experience the calming and energizing effects of music in a supportive, judgment-free space. Research continues to show that rhythm and percussion can help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, improve mood, and foster a greater sense of grounding and connection.

No musical experience is necessary — just come as you are.

All instruments are provided.

Whether you are carrying stress, grief, overwhelm, or simply looking for a healthy outlet and meaningful connection, this group offers a unique opportunity to heal through the universal language of rhythm.

A little rain is nothing compared to the love, care, and second chances these sweet dogs deserve. Grateful for rescues like this that remind us how healing compassion can be — for animals and humans alike.

Every wagging tail, every rescued life, and every act of kindness matters! Today the award goes to the golfers who braved the rain and cold for the cause!

Tonight at 5 PM at the Center Annex

At Center for Hope and Healing, we believe healing is not only something we talk through — it’s something we learn to feel safely within our bodies again.

Trauma often lives beyond words. It can show up as anxiety, chronic stress, panic, emotional numbness, sleep difficulties, muscle tension, hypervigilance, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Mindful Movement creates gentle opportunities to reconnect the mind and body in ways that feel safe, empowering, and restorative.

Unlike traditional exercise classes, this experience is not about perfection, flexibility, or performance. It is about learning to slow down, breathe intentionally, listen to your body, and create moments of calm in a world that can often feel overwhelming.

Participants may experience benefits such as:

Reduced stress and anxiety

Increased grounding and emotional regulation

Improved sleep and relaxation

Greater body awareness and self-compassion

Decreased physical tension held from trauma and chronic stress

A renewed sense of connection, safety, and balance

Our Mindful Movement classes are designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you are brand new to yoga or returning after years away, you will be welcomed into a gentle, supportive, judgment-free environment focused on healing — not performance.

Healing does not always happen through words alone. Sometimes healing begins with a single breath, a softened shoulder, a quiet moment of stillness, or the realization that your body deserves compassion too.

Come move, breathe, and heal with us. Your nervous system deserves care, too.

WOVEN LETTERS

A Therapeutic Art Experience with Diana Robinson & John Davis

What if you could create a love letter to yourself — not with perfection, but with honesty, healing, and hope?

Join us for a deeply meaningful therapeutic art group where creativity becomes part of the healing process. Through weaving, texture, color, written affirmations, and artistic expression, participants will create a one-of-a-kind visual reminder of their strength, resilience, and worth.

As each piece is interwoven together, so are the parts of ourselves that may have been hurt, silenced, overlooked, or forgotten. This experience is about reclaiming your voice, reconnecting with your identity, and learning to hold yourself with compassion.

No artistic experience needed

Judgment-free and emotionally safe space

Focus on healing, empowerment, self-worth, and connection

All materials provided

Healing is not about becoming perfect.

It is about learning to see yourself with gentleness again.

Come create. Reflect. Heal. We would love to have you join us.

Cost:

Clients please sign up at the front desk!

Client co-pays will be charged when applicable!

Community members reserve your spot at Center for Hope and Healings event page OR email Toni at tshearer@c4hh.com

A Support & Awareness Group for Online Dating

Thursday May 21st 6:15-7:30 PM

Center Annex Building

Online dating can open the door to meaningful connection — but it can also come with confusion, mixed signals, emotional manipulation, and safety concerns.

Join us for “Red Flags & Green Lights,” a supportive and judgment-free group designed to help participants better understand modern dating dynamics, recognize warning signs, strengthen boundaries, and identify healthy relationship behaviors.

This group is perfect for anyone navigating dating apps, social media relationships, situation-ships, or trying to rebuild confidence in dating after difficult experiences.

Topics may include:

• Recognizing emotional manipulation & unhealthy patterns

• Identifying healthy communication & “green light” behaviors

• Dating safety & boundary setting

• Trusting your instincts

• Self-worth in modern dating culture

• Support, connection, and honest conversation with others who get it

You are not “too sensitive,” “too much,” or alone in navigating this complicated dating world. Awareness is empowerment.

Hosted by Center for Hope and Healing- Toni Shearer, LPC
