National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Wood County will host two events focused on mindfulness, several support group meetings, a workshop and a book club meeting in June.
Painting mindfully and cooking mindfully are the two Nite Out with NAMI Wood County events planned for June 14 and June 21, respectively. Both events are free and will run from 2 to 4 p.m. at the NAMI Wood County office, 1250 Ridgewood Dr., Bowling Green.
At the painting mindfully event, participants will learn basic painting techniques and the value of painting as a coping mechanism. With guided instructions, attendees will create their own work of art to take home.
Participants in the cooking mindfully event will learn a few simple and healthy recipes in the “Nourish to Flourish” class, where they will learn to eat healthy while staying on a budget. They will have the opportunity to make some delicious recipes.
The mindfulness events are open to the community. Registration for the events is on Nite-Out-NAMI Wood County website.
