The Power of Journaling
- with Kitty Rosati
Journal writing can be a vehicle for deepening mindfulness as it helps
to clarify and refine thoughts and emotions. Like meditation, journal
writing helps to clear the mind by transcribing emotional confusion onto
the written page. You become a witness to your past behaviors which
then paves the way for fresh thought and perspective. Learn simple
techniques to start a journaling practice.
Shinrin Yoku
- with Kitty Rosati
Shinrin Yoku is a Japanese word that translates to “Forest Bathing”
and is a form of healing that involves simply wandering along forrest
trails and spending time in other natural places. Learn more about
the powerful research behind Shinrin Yoku and experience this
simple practice for enhancing your health.
A ThinkFUN Discussion and Practice

Take a deeper dive into Empower’s unique fitness philosophy with
co-founders Jessica Bottesch and Ronda Williams. Understand the
role your mindset plays in everything you do, and come away with a
deceptively easy approach and mind-sequencing exercise that will
help you connect with your why, focus your thoughts, and create fun
so that you experience the life you envision.

From Mindless Eating to Mindlessly Eating Better
- with Kim Kaplan
The mind makes many decisions about food - many of them
without pause or even time to think. In this discussion we will
identify triggers that can lead to mindless eating such as social
situations, cooking, watching TV, and even the size of your plate or
shape of your glass. We will explore together that we do not have
to change what we eat as much as how we eat and learn to make
small changes toward more mindful eating that can make a big
difference for our overall health.
