This Week...
Wellness is the process of making choices that support a healthy and fulfilling life, and is crucial to recovery. Whether it be connecting with nature, practicing yoga and meditation, or cultivating a cut flower garden, creating healthy habits at home will help keep you grounded.

Each week we invite you to Step into Recovery with The Hub, your resource for Connection, Education, Wellness & Fun.

Highlighting Healthy Habits
In recovery, it's important to build lives filled with positivity and joy. Mountainside's Wellness Team talks about the transformative power of meditation and getting into nature as ways to increase happiness. Living in the present moment helps us approach our lives with gratitude and an appreciation for the journey.
Your Self-Care Kit
Catering to those recovering from mental health, trauma, and addiction challenges, Kula for Karma is certain to enrich your practice, and invite calm and well-being into your life. Complementing any wellness program, their Yoga Nidra and chanting are particularly restorative activities to round out your day.
Your Weekly Soundtrack
“Do you know that your soul is composed of harmony?”
-DaVinci 

Harmony helps create and maintain the equilibrium of the universe. We hope this playlist of some of our favorites will serve to create peaceable inner balance to help you through your day. 
The Cooking Corner
I’m Steve Pisarski, a Senior Wellness Coordinator and fitness trainer at Mountainside. In my free time I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes. When I've had a particularly hectic day, diving into a recipe that requires a lot of focus helps me to slow down. My efforts are rewarded every time, and the results are delicious. As an added bonus, this dish is easy to plate and present if you want to impress your friends and family!
As the Page Turns
Join us this week as Mountainside Assistant Wellness Manager, Sheree Surdam, leads the discussion on Boyd Varty's, "Cathedral of the Wild". Dive deep into the African wild through this story of transformation that inspires a great appreciation for the beauty and order of the natural world. With conviction, hope, and humor, Varty makes a passionate claim for the power of the wild to restore the human spirit.
