Constructive Living
Constructive Living is a wonderful tool to get one's new year jump started. Through an individual or group session of Constructive Living instruction, one can access practical, simple tools to use in daily life to meet new goals, stop unwanted habits, pay attention to the world around you, and appreciate the gifts one is being given throughout the day.
Constructive Living instruction generally requires a one-hour meeting in person, a phone appointment, or an email appointment. Our current trial rate is $40/hour.
Appointments can be made on a regular basis, but one can access tools for daily living within just one or two appointments.
Constructive Living instruction is an educational model with therapeutic benefits. Students receive homework for daily living, and the real learning takes place outside of the office.
If this approach sounds like it would benefit you, please call to set up an appointment at (423)653-4478
or write us at Constructive.LivingTN@gmail.
We are also available for specialized groups by arrangement.
In the holiday season, The Asala Center was invited to speak to several organizations on Constructive Living:
- Thanksgiving weekend
Diana and Lauryn gave the sermon at the Unitarian Universalist church, presenting "A Constructive Perspective on Giving Thanks." This was an opportunity to follow up from the presentation given in May at the same location to a different group (CHIONS). - On December 30th
Lauryn offered a donation-based yoga and dance workshop at Zanzibar Studio. In honor of New Year's Eve approaching, she incorporated Naikan reflection into yin yoga. - On New Years Eve
Asala Center participated in Clearspring Yoga's annual open house. Each year, Clearspring Yoga offers a free, reflective space for meditation, kirtan chanting, and walking a labyrinth. This year, Diana and Lauryn offered New Year's Naikan exercises as an optional reflection.
Asala Center is featured in Chattanooga's Pulse Magazine this month. Look for us in the Health and Wellness issue, printed on January 20th.
This holiday season, Lauryn's husband Jared gave the Asala Center a website! Jared bartered his electrical services (Bill Higgins Electric) to their friend Brett Nolan (www.awenmediadesign.com), who in turn designed a very nice (while incomplete) website at www.asalacenter.com.Asala Center invites you to check out our blog www.asalacenter.blogspot.com
while the new website design is still under construction.
Asala Center will be announcing dates for upcoming workshops and events in the near future, so stay tuned online through our website, blog, Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter accounts! If you would like to receive email updates, please email us at Constructive.LivingTN@gmail.
