MD COVIDsitters to Host Essential Worker Enrichment Opportunities

By Dasha Menafee

MD COVIDsitters is in the process of planning a bunch of enrichment opportunities for our essential workers. We want to take care of the people on the front lines, mind, body, and spirit. MD COVIDsitters will be providing mindfulness class by Sherwood Soley to help with creating a peaceful environment during this pandemic. Sherwood Soley is a personal transformation coach and has been working in the field for six years. In each class, Sherwood “helps people explore the power of their mind and tools that we can use to cope with the waves of thoughts and emotions” that come with our day to day lives. As we are all going through this pandemic and our lives have become increasingly stressful, we need to remember that we have to take some time throughout our day to breathe and focus on getting through each moment with grace.

Dates and times for the mindfulness classes can be found on our website home page and events page. All skills as welcome. Sherwood Soley recommends when taking this class to find a comfortable, relaxing location in your home where you are least likely to be bothered or distracted, equip yourself with tools or items that you would need before joining the call (beverages, pillows, pen/pencil, paper, etc.), and make the intention to be in the here and now by putting away all other electronic distractions.

Stay tuned for more enrichment classes by following us on social media at our handle @MDCOVIDsitters.
