Join Carolina Resource Center for Eating Disorders during #NEDAwarenessWeek 2020 for a workshop exploring exercises of awareness and gentle movement with Jessica Mark of Happy Body!

Discover the body’s innate wisdom to feel safe, at ease, and whole at any time, anywhere. In this workshop, we dive into understanding how stress, anxiety, and imbalance manifest in the body and learn an embodied approach that allows us to shift these sensations into strength and resilience. Accessible exercises of awareness and gentle movement will also be offered to transform discomfort into support in an instant without disconnection from your body.

Limited space; reservations required
RSVP to [email protected]

Environmental Education is crucial to what RiverLink does. We believe that in order for someone to protect their environment, they must first understand it. Our education programs focus on getting students out in the watershed for hands-on experiential learning. We help students foster a love and appreciation for their water resources by allowing them to see, hear and interact with their local waterways. As a result of engaging with our program we hope that students will be inspired to become the next generation of watershed stewards.

The standard pricing for the camps is $295 per week including transportation. The Blacksmithing and Knife-making camps for Grades 6-10 only are priced at $384 per week. After Camp adds $15-30 per afternoon depending on the specific reservations. A payment plan and sibling discount are offered as well. A limited number of partial scholarships are also available.
