May Gifts and Graces: Mindfulness Tools for Real-Life Living with Jessica Smith
2025-05-02 18:00 - 19:00 | AZ
Join us for an inspiring and practical evening with Jessica Smith, a Mindfulness Educator and Advocate, as she shares her personal journey through trauma and a stress-induced illness that served as a wake-up call to heal from the inside out. Through mindfulness, meditation, and movement, she discovered that healing isn’t a destination—it’s a daily practice.
Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, this presentation explores how trauma affects the brain and body and how simple, research-based mindfulness tools can foster lasting healing. Participants will learn to recognize trauma responses in themselves and others and leave with 10 easy, evidence-informed practices to bring more calm, clarity, and connection into their daily lives.
Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey or supporting others, this experience offers science-backed tools and real-life wisdom to cultivate greater presence and peace.
About Jessica Smith:
Jessica Smith is a certified mindfulness coach, Arizona educator, and proud graduate of Southwest Institute of Healing Arts’ 600-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Training. A Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern and ACEs educator, she blends neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience to make healing accessible.

Forgiveness Ceremony: Finding Calm in Times of Chaos
2025-04-18 18:00 - 19:00 | AZ
In challenging times, forgiveness becomes a powerful tool for inner peace. No one is perfect—mistakes are part of our growth. Finding Calm in the Chaos means releasing the toxicity of anger and negativity. It does not mean condoning hurtful actions but rather allowing ourselves to let go. By accepting what we cannot control, we shift our perspective, navigate life’s uncertainties with grace, and free ourselves from the burden of trying to rewrite the past. Finding calm in the chaos means embracing peace in everyday life.
Forgiveness is a gift—the most profound form of love. In return, we receive untold peace and happiness. The Greek translation of forgiveness means to “let go.” It is the ultimate act of kindness. In the hustle of daily life, our inner peace often feels lost beneath obligations, responsibilities, distractions, and anxieties.
Through the practice of forgiveness, we cultivate a sanctuary of calm and steady presence. True inner peace is not an elusive secret—it is available to all of us. It begins with the courage to take the first step: letting go of a bruised ego, reclaiming your power, and easing suffering. No one can make you feel unworthy—except you. Forgiveness is for you. It is not about excusing those who have hurt you, is about setting yourself free. We will offer Sound Healing and Guided Visualization.
About Will Zecco: Director of Yoga and Success Coach, has served SWIHA for nearly 19 years as a teacher, mentor, and business coach for both on-campus and online students.
