UThrive Sponsors Art and Mindfulness Workshops
At Uthrive, we believe in planting seeds of compassion and love in the hearts of our young participants. Recently, we gathered a wonderful group of young ladies to explore the theme of compassion through engaging discussions and creative activities.
During our book reading, we delved into what it truly means to be compassionate and how to lead with an open heart. The conversation was inspiring and filled with insights. Afterward, the girls had a fantastic time expressing their creativity by making bookmarks and wish boxes, each a unique reflection of their thoughts and feelings.
One of the older girls beautifully captured the essence of our session when she wrote, “If you wanna,feel loved, you have to love yourself first.”
We are grateful for these moments of connection and creativity, and we look forward to nurturing more compassion and love in our community!

Alison was recently featured at 7811 Gallery, where she read from her book, “Planting Seeds for a New Tomorrow: An Inner Child’s Tale.” She passionately shares her own inner child healing journey, a theme that resonates throughout many of the programs offered by the non-profit. Alison’s healing work and insights are beautifully illustrated in her book, inviting readers to explore their paths to healing and self-discovery.
Uthrive wellness community collaboration
Uthrive, in collaboration with Inner Power Yoga Studio, recently facilitated a heartfelt yoga and mindfulness class designed for teens and their parents. It was truly a beautiful experience. Together, we explored the concepts of mindfulness and self-awareness, discussing how these practices can be integrated into our daily lives.
Throughout the class, we introduced techniques to incorporate mindfulness into our yoga practice. Participants enjoyed balancing and supportive poses that fostered physical awareness and emotional connection. At the end of our session, we took some time to journal, allowing the teens to express their feelings and reflect on their experiences.
We believe in the importance of providing this outlet for teenagers. It offers them a safe space to articulate their emotions and gain insights into their inner world. By learning to connect with their breath and tune into the sensations in their bodies, they can enhance their intuition and build confidence in navigating different situations.
This practice not only helps them respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively but also cultivates a sense of groundedness. We are excited to continue offering these classes and supporting our teens on their journey of self-discovery and mindfulness.

Hold a seed to your heart, (either an actual seed or a symbolic one) and make your wish of what you want to happen. Imagine your wish taking on physical form. Blow on your seed giving it the breath of life. If you have a physical seed, you can plant it in the soil and water it. If your seed is symbolic, imagine yourself planting it in your heart place and watering it with loving kindness and care.
