Podcast appearances and mentions of barbara grapstein

The Smile Side of Life presents some fun stories about Halloween and a shout out to Barbara Grapstein and the Healing Headbands Project.

I can not express my happiness to share with you the first episode in a series from The Women's Yoga & Healing Retreat in Orient Point L.I. Retreats are in my soul, and I love bringing women together. Retreats offer many things to the participants. Sacred space, Connection, and Self-care. The theme of the day was Self-Care is NOT Selfish. In this episode you will hear the take aways from two guests, a snippet of the yoga class that morning, and the partial itinerary. The yoga class was recorded right in the center of Chef Nancy's home, so excuse some clanking of dishes as she prepares us an amazing lunch. The music I played during the yoga class was: Aad Guray Nameh: Jai-Jagdeesh- I am Thine Drop me a line if you enjoyed this on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tcon1017/ use hashtag #TinasRetreat Shout out to Jasmine D'Alessandro and Barbara Grapstein.

More on Healing Headbands… Healing Headbands Project is a nonprofit organization based in Sea Cliff, New York. Our purpose is to inspire others to develop a healing mindset by integrating laughter with art. Our core program helps healing communities realize their full potential through laughter exercises that awaken the creative mind. We then encourage those participating to express themselves and capture the moment through painting. The artwork is custom printed on special soft UV protected fabric, made into headbands and then delivered with 100% love. Our goal is to build a foundation of joy as a whole consciousness and express to others that through this creation process we hold the power to heal. Wearing a Healing Headband is a daily reminder that happiness is a state of mind. Over the past year, we have reached several communities with the Healing Headbands Project and have received a growing number of requests to integrate the project into schools, hospitals and organizations. We are ready to make this happen and to scale our work to a larger audience. We will train hundreds of young leaders that embody the ethos of our mission to share our world healing project.
