Virtual Sound bath meditation 4 pm PT, 7 pm ET
A Sound bath uses acoustics to generate a calm, focused state. Sound has proven health benefits such as stress reduction and better sleep.
During a sound bath, participants are guided into a relaxed state typically while lying down, and are ’bathed’ by different sounds promoting deep relaxation.
A professional musician, Samer Ghadry has been leading sound baths and guiding other teachers since 2018. He appears in recorded works such as Alanis Morissette’s The Storm Before The Calm and the award winning film Everything Everywhere All At Once, playing gongs and bowls.

Journal Writing
Expressive writing can ease symptoms of PTSD and help to find meaning in life changes following a traumatic event. A regular writing practice can provide a release that can reduce trauma symptoms like feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, sleeplessness, and poor concentration. Getting thoughts out of your head and onto the paper can offer a safe and judgement-free place to express feelings, build resilience, empowerment and well-being.
Join with peers in a journal writing support group led by FSS member Robin Felsher. No writing experience or expertise needed! This group is open to all.

Grief Support Gathering for Parents: 4 pm PST and 7 pm EST
The space to process grief, remember loved ones, and understand the repercussions of one’s individual loss is essential. Yet grief can be isolating, and even close friends and family may not be able to understand all you are experiencing.
FSS founding member and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Dana Lerner shares her expertise and experience as a bereaved parent in a new support group geared for those who have lost a child to traffic violence. Dana works with individuals, couples, and families, and focuses on issues including bereavement, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. She has written about our culture’s harmful tendency to pathologize grief and disregard the realities and needs of those who suffer from profound loss.
This group is a safe and welcoming place for community members who have lost a child in traffic violence. A monthly facilitated conversation will enable participants to tell their stories, connect with others and share perspectives unique to the loss of one’s child.
* This group will meet twice a month for a limited time. Participants are asked to join each session. Dates include:
April 17, May 1, May 15, May 29, June 26, July 10

Virtual Soundbath Meditation
If you have lost a loved one or been injured in a crash, join us on Thursday, December 7 at 7:00pm ET/4pm PT for a virtual sound bath meditation.
A sound bath or sound healing is an ancient tradition using instruments with deep, resonating vibrations, like Tibetan singing bowls, bells, chimes, and gongs to help release tension and ease symptoms of stress, fatigue, and depression. This practice can help bring us relaxation while also helping beginners to experience and learn about meditation. As always, we will also have space for members to connect, share, and support each other, especially as this will be several weeks before the holidays and the end of the year.
We will be guided by sound healer and percussionist Samer Ghadry, who has led numerous sound baths for our group over the years. Samer blends Eastern and Western cultural and musical approaches with various energetic healing modalities.
