Creating and supporting lives of purpose by developing relationships in community through events and activities.

Join us Thursdays from 6:00–7:00 PM at The Community Hub (9 Church St, Bernardsville) for CiC’s Holistic Natural Recovery Program!

*Times/locations may vary occasionally. Please click the flyer on the right to confirm.

Holistic Natural Recovery (HNR) is a  multi-dimensional approach to recovery addressing your physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs. Sessions may include a combination of gentle movement, breath, as well as more holistic wellness offerings.

3/26/26- NIA Dance

This class blends talk therapy with Nia, modern dance, yoga, martial arts, the Feldenkrais Method, and creative arts to support mind, body, and spirit. No formal dance experience is required. We move barefoot, exploring the body’s natural rhythms and imagination in a free, expressive way.

4/2/26 – Qigong

Qigong is a form of Chinese energetic medicine that combines physical movements, breathing techniques, meditation, and visualization to balance the body’s internal energy, or Qi. Practiced for thousands of years, it aims to promote healing, restore balance, and enhance physical, mental, and emotional well being.

Led by Mike Schmidt.

4/9/26- Mindful Eating

Mindful eating helps us foster a healthier relationship with food. Eating mindfully brings awareness to the nourishment available in food through meal preparation, acknowledging food preferences non-judgmentally, recognizing and honoring physical hunger and satiety cues, and using wisdom to guide eating decisions.

Led by Marissa Perrotta.

4/16/26 – Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a physio-philosophy Japanese practice that balances your body’s energy by using fingers and hands to eliminate stress and release tension. Learn more about JSJ and self-practice in this class.

Led by Monica Freund.

4/23/26- Meditate, Move & Mellow Out

Your body knows how to relax. Sometimes it just needs a little help. This gentle class combines quiet meditation, easy movement, and guided deep rest to help your body and mind unwind. You’ll leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more at ease.

Led by Joseph Brennan.

4/30/26 – Sound Bath

Sound baths offer an immersive meditative experience. Using instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, and tuning forks, each session creates calming, balancing sound frequencies that relax and restore mind, body, and spirit.

Led by Sarah Yeung.

This drawing technique is based on the idea that drawing in this way can help engage and strengthen the neurons in our brains, connecting the conscious and subconscious mind and leaving us feeling positive, mindful, and less stressed.
