Rest & Revive
(Meditation) Take 20 minutes to get back to the foundation of your true inner strength by experiencing the benefit of a deeper resting state. Even when we sleep many of us don't truly rest. With this guided meditation, we learn how to allow our minds to finally drop into the theta brain wave state - the subconscious state, the place of dreams- while still awake. This ancient practice of Yoga Nidra is the origin of Hypnotherapy and current methods of personal growth and quantum healing. Join lifelong meditator, yoga practitioner, healer, teacher, intuitive guide and artist, Vanessa for this easy way to experience more of who you truly are. If you cant join us or if you would like to deepen your experience with Yoga Nidra outside of the Monday night gathering, we recommend that you get comfortable (even lie down and close your eyes) and experience Your Body Miracle by Vanessa with the video provided here at your convenience. You are Loved!

Loved Ones of the Incarcerated
We understand that having a loved one in jail or prison is hard on multiple levels. Incarceration impacts many people in addition to the incarcerated person - whether you are a parent, child, sibling, relative, partner or friend. Golden Rule ReEntry is offering the opportunity for people with loved ones who are incarcerated to come together to share their concerns, find support, learn about resources and what to expect when their loved one is released so that everyone has a better outcome. This will be an unstructured drop-in support group offered 2ce a month via Zoom until further notice. This group is led by Ronda Miller-Tate and Susan Krant. Please Drop In // No Registration Necessary If you would like more information about this circle, please CONTACT US. |

Nutrition For Life: Back to the Basics. The world of nutrition can be very complicated. New diets are popping up regularly and it can be easy to become confused by all the information that's thrown at us.

PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A SECURE TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION VIA PAYPAL
PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A SECURE TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION VIA PAYPAL
Golden Rule ReEntry is committed to being antiracist and understanding how implicit bias, racist policies and unexamined white privilege has led to disproportionate numbers of non-white people being incarcerated.
We stand committed to BIPOC advancement and leadership.
Golden Rule ReEntry is based in Southern Oregon and acknowledges that we are operating on the unceded land of the Shasta, Takelma, and many other recognized and unrecognized tribes who have had living relationships with the Southern Oregon region from "time out of mind" to now. We remain committed to dismantling the systems of oppression that have dispossessed Indigenous people of their lands and denied their rights to self-determination.
