Join CML Third Space and Help Manage Anxiety
Virtual Community Gathering
Second & Fourth Sunday each month
7:00 - 8:00 p.m. CST
These are unprecedented times and we are being challenged to remain as flexible as possible as this very fluid situation continues to unfold. So many of us turn to one another in times of distress to help regulate our anxiety and maintain some sense of normalcy. This option is limited right now as we must employ social distancing measures to limit the spread of COVID-19.
These events invite an exploration of the idea of “The Third Space”. This is concept, first introduced by media artist Randall Packer, proposes that physical space makes up “the first space”, remote space is “the second space”, and that together we can create a third, synergistic space, a virtual community.
We will sit together in guided meditation and I will offer some thoughts on how to best manage anxiety in this time of stress. There will also be time to connect in smaller groups and share our experience of this challenging time. We’ll also help connect you with additional resources to help support us support one another in the weeks that lie ahead.
We are fortunate enough to live in a time that we can gather virtually and gain solace from our communal presence. This is the time to look to one another, join together, and remember that we are stronger when we are in community.
