End-of-Life Planning: Your Final Arrangements
03-Jun
 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

About the Event
Just as families plan for a wedding, a baby or buying a home, they may want to do advance funeral planning, too. Avoiding the topic will make eventually trying to respect your wishes more difficult, and likely more expensive, for your loved ones. And many people find great meaning and peace in carrying out funeral plans that honor their loved one’s wishes.

Topics to be covered include:
Your rights when dealing with funeral homes
Pre-planning final arrangements vs. pre-paying for them
Donating your organs or donating your body for medical research and training
Your body disposition options (terramation, cremation, aquamation, burial) and creating directives about what you prefer
Planning the ceremony you want
Garrick Colwell, co-founder of Kitchen Table Conversations, will facilitate this webinar.

Somatic Breathwork
28-Jun
07:30 pm to 09:30 pm

About this Event
Welcome to Connect with the Breath. I am dedicated to helping you acheive holistic wellness through a somatic breathwork practice. My approach is to guide you on your journey towards emotional and spiritual well being. I am living proof that the body has the natural ability to heal from within and I strive to create a safe and nurturing space for self discovery and healing.

Please arrive 10-20 minutes early. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late you will be asked to attend the next group or private session, doors will be locked to prevent interruption. You will be asked to turn your cell phone completely off and leave outside of the studio. Please wear comfortable clothing as you will be lying down for this event. Clothing you would wear to yoga is advised. Please bring your yoga mat, water bottle with a lid, and chapstick. Avoid eating any heavy meals for at least two hours prior to session. Blankets, eye masks and pillow props will be provided.

Somatic Breathwork is designed to activate the nervous system in a controlled manner for the first half of the session. With that being said, if you have uncontrolled anxiety or have been in fight or flight for a prolonged period of time, I ask that you please reach out to me for a privately guided 1:1 session at connectwiththebreath.com. Soma means body and this type of breathwork allow you to feel fully into your body releasing trauma that has trapped itself within the fascia of the body. The second half of the journey we will access the parasympathetic nervous system and create a repatterning in the nervous system. When the body creates this space it allows room for us to once again connect to our true selves.

Consult your physician prior to this practice if you have any known medical conditions. Do not attend if you are pregnant. Somatic breathwork will be at your own risk, please note you are always in control of your journey. You should not do somatic or holotropic breathwork if you have any of the following conditions:

-Cardiovasclar disease such as heart attack, angina, uncontrolled high blood pressure, atrial fibrulation, blood clots, or stroke.
-Epilepsy or history of seizures
-Glaucoma, retinal detachment, or unexplained vision problems
-Recent surgery

04-Mar 
 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. 

Join this webinar to explore funeral-planning essentials, from your rights and the costs to meaningful ceremonies and body disposition options.

About the Event

Just as families plan for a wedding, a baby or buying a home, they may want to do advance funeral planning, too.

And many people find great meaning and peace in carrying out funeral plans that honor their loved one’s wishes.

Topics to be covered include:

Your rights when dealing with funeral homes
Pre-planning final arrangements vs. pre-paying for them
Donating your organs or donating your body for medical research and training
Your body disposition options (terramation, cremation, aquamation, burial) and creating directives about what you prefer
Planning the ceremony you want
Garrick Colwell, co-founder of Kitchen Table Conversations, will facilitate this webinar.

As geese fly in formation, they embody the essential ingredients of collaborative care: shared leadership, interdependence, self-care, encouragement and trusted relationships.

Dear Marketing Team,

As the franchise owner of BrightStar Care of Phoenix/Tempe, I would like to request two separate landing pages - one for Phoenix and one for Tempe.

Why This Makes Sense

While I run both territories from one office location, our client base is split evenly between Phoenix and Tempe. Our digital presence should reflect this reality.

This approach aligns with corporate's territory separation strategy and addresses the "nth unit" analytics showing parent locations outperforming additional territories. Having distinct online presences would:

• Support clearer data separation between territories.
• Strengthen the secondary territory's performance metrics.
• Enable targeted marketing for each area's unique demographics.

Territory-Specific Opportunities

As I develop more localized content, I need to address the significant demographic differences between our territories:

• Age differences: Tempe's younger population (influenced by ASU) versus Phoenix's more diverse age range including families and seniors.
• Economic variations: Different income levels and employment patterns affecting healthcare affordability and needs.
• Living arrangements: Higher percentage of rentals and temporary housing in Tempe versus more established households in Phoenix

These differences require tailored messaging and service emphasis that a single landing page cannot effectively address.

Easy Content Solution

With my two weekly blogs, I can simply dedicate one to Phoenix and one to Tempe, incorporating local references without requiring additional resources.

Benefits

Two landing pages would:

• Enable targeted messaging for each specific community.
• Improve conversion rates with location-specific content.
• Boost search rankings for local searches.
• Create clearer performance metrics for each territory.

I am happy to provide more details as needed. This approach better aligns our online presence with both corporate analytics preferences and the distinct communities we serve.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Thanks
 

Todd

Eradicating the Inner War: A Journey Inward for Healthcare Professionals
04-Feb 18-Feb

As a healthcare professional, you dedicate your life to caring for others. But what happens when you neglect your own needs and well-being?

Are you running teams at work or taking care of patients/elders on empty and get emotionally reactive?
Do you turn to addictive vices on off hours to numb?
Do you find yourself being aggressive, anxious or frustrated?

The outer conflicts we see in the world often mirror the battles within ourselves that we are not taking care of. Especially those who work in healthcare as Physicians, Nurses, Social workers, Caregivers, Nurses, Psychologists, Psychiatric support, Directors and others who serve humanity.

Isn’t it time to break free?
Are you ready to uncuff, unshackle, and un-web yourself from the inner war?

Phoenix Theater - Andrea Bocelli
05-Dec
8:00 p.m.

Celebrate 30 Years Of Andrea Bocelli! A disciple of Luciano Pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari, Andrea Bocelli may have lost his sight at 12, but that didn't stop the world's greatest Italian tenor from selling 90 million records, earning a Golden Globe Award and a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The crossover sensation has one of the best-selling albums of all time (20 million copies of Romanza sold) and has inspired and worked with modern pop legends such as Celine Dion and Ed Sheeran. Celebrate 30 years of Andrea's career as he heads across the nation on tour!

Your Chance To See A Legend

There aren't many singers that can claim to be a legend in their own lifetime, but he is often described as such, with fans coming from high places to heap acclaim on this operatic powerhouse, such as Elizabeth Taylor, who said of Bocelli: 'My mind, my soul were transported by his beauty, his voice, his inner being' proving that his angelic voice can touch and inspire anyone who hears it.

Setting out on tour, this is a stunning opportunity to see the man himself in the flesh in a performance that is sure to stick with you for a lifetime!
