Heart Tree Studios offers classes, workshops and individual sessions that teach just two things: how to practice mindfulness and how to apply mindfulness to the benefit of our lives.
We do this by offering a variety of leading edge practices designed to reveal our inherent state of well-being. Each builds understanding and skill in the practical application of mindfulness.

We have Vision Crafting classes, a combination of Mindfulness in Motion and Art of Envisioning, lead by Theresa Fluty.  And Mindfulness Coping-Skills Therapy, and individual and group Marriage and Family Therapy with Brian Ford, LMFT.

Mindfulness in Motion and the Art of Envisioning

Vision Crafting   $65

5 week session, 1 day per week

Wednesdays, 5:45 – 7:15pm

Vision Crafting is a one of a kind skill building class in the practical application of mindfulness. We combine Mindfulness in Motion Easeful Movement and Art of Envisioning for the purpose of recognizing and clarifying what it is that we would like to create and have more of in our lives right now, next week and next year. We craft a physical representation of one or more of those aspirations.  And we reflect upon the ‘feeling’ of its vibrational essence applying mindfulness to the activity of allowing our attention and vitality to draw us into the living of our aspirations.

Mindfulness in Motion Easeful Movement

Easeful Movement is paired moving meditation. We get in the flow, prime the pump, shake it up, learn and practice natural forms and enjoy a calm state of recognition and understanding. You will feel an increase of overall awareness, mental stability, emotional confidence and appreciation.

Marriage and Family Therapy

Individual and Group

By appointment only

Marriage and Family therapy looks at patterns of thinking, communication, and behaving that can derail otherwise good relationships and family interactions. The family unit is a system of interacting individuals that has a mind of its own. If there is a problem it is in the family unit rather than in the individual family members.
