7:30pm – 8:30pm

On 3/4 Another Summit will host iRest Meditation online at 730pm EST. For more information contact Ashley Rogers, [email protected] or click the link below.
iRest Meditation
iRest is a deep meditation practice used worldwide for its positive impact on the mind and body. This practice relieves stress and pain, improves sleep, and helps reset your nervous system.
Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller as a meditation technique to help soldiers, veterans, and survivors of natural disasters, Integrative Restoration (later shortened to iRest) was designed to “help us to integrate emotions, thoughts, and psychology, as well as restore us to our true wellness as human beings.” (Learn more about iRest on our blog.)
Used in military and first responder settings as a top-tier approach to mental health & wellness, iRest is rapidly growing in popularity in our guardian communities. In the words of one of our GR Peer Leaders who is a trauma therapist & social worker and has worked in Law Enforcement & Fire:
“iRest is extremely helpful to relax & very beneficial as a healthy new habit. It’s worth setting aside the time — stop procrastinating & show up. This is one thing you shouldn’t wait to try.”
We hope you’ll join our next iRest Meditation with Annie:
WHEN: Monday, March 4 @ 7:30 pm ET
WHERE: Zoom
Note:
Participate with your camera on or off
Be comfortable — seated in a chair, laying in bed, or on the floor
Have a pillow & blanket available
No prior experience with mindfulness or meditation necessary!

3/5/2024 Writing Workshop
6:15pm – 7:45pm
Cost: Free
On 3/5 Guardian Revival will host a Writing Workshop at 615pm EST in Mahopac NY and on Zoom. For more information contact Ashley Rogers, [email protected] or click the link below.
Writing Workshop
Engage with literature & writing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Some of us think that writing is only for writers — but writing is for all of us.
As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, “I believe we all come into life as writers.” Whether it’s poetry, songwriting, or storytelling, the freedom to express and record through written language is a powerful thing. Join us at one of our writing workshops to discover, create, and express freely on whatever platform suits you best.
Hone your skills through exposure and analysis of fictional and non-fictional literature, as well as learning grammatical tips and tricks. In past workshops, we’ve discussed Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” quote, the concept of “The Road Less Traveled”, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur, a poem by our very own Karl Rohde, and the “Invictus” poem by William Ernest Henley.
The goal is to explore writing as a wellness tool & creative outlet. Mike adjusts each workshop to the participants each time. We hope you’ll join our next session!

Cost: Free
On 3/12 Guardian Revival will host Mobility for Health at 7pm EST. For more information contact Ashley Rogers, [email protected] or click the link below.
Mobility for Health Workshop
Semper Stronger cofounders Joel Del Rosario (a Marine) and Rebecca Rouse along with their coaches Samantha and Angela, are passionate about empowering guardians to build physical & mental strength so that you can overcome life’s challenges with confidence.
Mobility is about movement — specifically making sure your joints can easily move with you throughout your daily life. Think: getting up in the morning, taking a flight of stairs, picking things up off the floor — and doing it without pain or difficulty.
According to Harvard Medical School:
Mobility is the foundation for living a healthy and independent life. Mobility comprises all the skills required for everyday living: physical stamina, strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion… [it] also helps us avoid falls and prevent injuries, and allows older adults to live longer on their own. In short, mobility helps you stay “in the game.”
During this session, you will hear information about mobility & movement, the benefits, learn & try a few joint mobilizations, and receive advice on how to incorporate movement into daily life.
Get active, get moving, get healthy!
All G-Connect experiences are free but RSVP is required:
WHEN: Tuesday, March 12 @ 7:00 – 8:00 pm ET

Cost: Free
On 3/19 Guardian Revival will host a Writing Workshop at 615pm EST in Mahopac, NY and on Zoom. For more information contact Ashley Rogers, [email protected] or click the link below.
Writing Workshop
Engage with literature & writing in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Some of us think that writing is only for writers — but writing is for all of us.
As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, “I believe we all come into life as writers.” Whether it’s poetry, songwriting, or storytelling, the freedom to express and record through written language is a powerful thing. Join us at one of our writing workshops to discover, create, and express freely on whatever platform suits you best.
Hone your skills through exposure and analysis of fictional and non-fictional literature, as well as learning grammatical tips and tricks. In past workshops, we’ve discussed Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” quote, the concept of “The Road Less Traveled”, “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur, a poem by our very own Karl Rohde, and the “Invictus” poem by William Ernest Henley.
The goal is to explore writing as a wellness tool & creative outlet. Mike adjusts each workshop to the participants each time. We hope you’ll join our next session!

3/21/2024 DNA of a Song
7:00pm – 8:00pm
Cost: Free
On 3/21 Guardian Revival will host DNA of a Song online at 7pm EST. For more information contact Matthew Sorena, [email protected] or click the link below.
DNA of a Song
Come learn more about the song September by Earth, Wind & Fire. While the song may sound familiar, what are the music elements that make it work? And why is it so popular?
WHEN: Thursday, March 21 @ 7 – 8 PM ET
WHERE: Zoom
RSVP
Released in 1978, September reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart and remains a popular hit for the band. In 2018, it was added to the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry.
White and Willis wrote the song over the course of a month, conjuring images of clear skies and dancing under the stars. Willis says she likes songs that tell stories, and that at a certain point, she feared the lyrics to “September” were starting to sound simplistic. One nonsense phrase bugged her in particular.
“The, kind of, go-to phrase that Maurice used in every song he wrote was ‘ba-dee-ya,’ ” she says. “So right from the beginning he was singing, ‘Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember / Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September.’ And I said, ‘We are going to change ‘ba-dee-ya’ to real words, right?’ “
Wrong. Willis says that at the final vocal session she got desperate and begged White to rewrite the part.
“And finally, when it was so obvious that he was not going to do it, I just said, ‘What the f*** does ‘ba-dee-ya’ mean?’ And he essentially said, ‘Who the f*** cares?'” she says. “I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove.” (NPR)
Encore’s new virtual series, Beyond the Soundboard, offers events that dig deeper into music — from theory & history to practical lessons & tips — to help you connect more with the healing power of music.
This DNA of a Song session will cover the inner workings of September and answer questions, such as What about this song makes it popular? How do musicians choose elements of a song? How do we identify the elements of a song?
Whether you are a musician or just interested in learning more about music, this event will provide insight into the world of music as a human phenomenon.

Cost: Free

iRest Meditation
iRest is a deep meditation practice used worldwide for its positive impact on the mind and body. This practice relieves stress and pain, improves sleep, and helps reset your nervous system.
Developed by clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Miller as a meditation technique to help soldiers, veterans, and survivors of natural disasters, Integrative Restoration (later shortened to iRest) was designed to “help us to integrate emotions, thoughts, and psychology, as well as restore us to our true wellness as human beings.” (Learn more about iRest on our blog.)
Used in military and first responder settings as a top-tier approach to mental health & wellness, iRest is rapidly growing in popularity in our guardian communities. In the words of one of our GR Peer Leaders who is a trauma therapist & social worker and has worked in Law Enforcement & Fire:
“iRest is extremely helpful to relax & very beneficial as a healthy new habit. It’s worth setting aside the time — stop procrastinating & show up. This is one thing you shouldn’t wait to try.”
We hope you’ll join our next iRest Meditation with Annie:
WHEN: Monday, March 25 @ 7:30 pm ET
WHERE: Zoom
Note:
Participate with your camera on or off
Be comfortable — seated in a chair, laying in bed, or on the floor

Cost: Free
On 3/26 Guardian Revival will host Mobility for Health at 7pm EST. For more information contact Ashley Rogers, [email protected] or click the link below.
Mobility for Health Workshop
Semper Stronger cofounders Joel Del Rosario (a Marine) and Rebecca Rouse along with their coaches Samantha and Angela, are passionate about empowering guardians to build physical & mental strength so that you can overcome life’s challenges with confidence.
Mobility is about movement — specifically making sure your joints can easily move with you throughout your daily life. Think: getting up in the morning, taking a flight of stairs, picking things up off the floor — and doing it without pain or difficulty.
According to Harvard Medical School:
Mobility is the foundation for living a healthy and independent life. Mobility comprises all the skills required for everyday living: physical stamina, strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion… [it] also helps us avoid falls and prevent injuries, and allows older adults to live longer on their own. In short, mobility helps you stay “in the game.”
During this session, you will hear information about mobility & movement, the benefits, learn & try a few joint mobilizations, and receive advice on how to incorporate movement into daily life.
Get active, get moving, get healthy!
All G-Connect experiences are free but RSVP is required:

Filling in the Finances for Transition Gaps—What You Really Need to Know about Your Finances and the Transition
Thursday, March 18th from 6:00-7:00 PM ET via Zoom
All service members must go through a Department of Defense (DoD) standardized Finances for Transition class when they transition from military service through the mandatory Transition Assistance Program (TAP). However, the curriculum is the same for all members regardless of age, years of service, rank, or whether they are retiring or separating.The reality is that this “one size fits all” curriculum is often lacking the resources to assure an effective financial transition for servicemembers.
This presentation will draw on experiences from teaching the required transition class and understanding its shortfalls, but also incorporating the real-world experience of members who have already experienced the transition. This will provide relevant insight and tools that servicemembers and spouses can use to supplement the required training and provide value added services to contribute to the financial successes of servicemembers and their family post-transition.
In this workshop we will discuss:
We will also identify how financial concerns differ depending on whether a member is retiring or separating and how to identify and address misconceptions about VA compensation.

Another Summit hosts outings designed by women guardians, for women guardians, on the 1st Saturday of each month.
For our April Women Guardians Outing you can join our outdoor leaders, Elena and Dawn, on a wildflower-spotting walk at the Stony Kill Environmental Education Center in Fishkill. On this walk, we’ll keep an eye out for some of the native ephemeral wildflowers of New York, such as bloodroot and trillium. Often found blooming from early March to late May — depending on the weather — these gorgeous early-spring blooms only last for a short time, so lets see how many we can spot! We’ll also pause for a picnic lunch by the scenic pasture on Verplanck Ridge.

4/24/2024 Straight Talk: Supporting Mental Health Needs of Military Connected Children
3:00pm – 4:00pm
Cost: Free
On 4/24 the Bob Woodruff Foundation will host Straight Talk: Supporting Mental Health Needs of Military Connected Children at 3pm EST on Zoom. For more information contact Hunter Russ, [email protected] | (917) 485-3157 or click the link below.
Children’s mental health is a national crisis. For children in military and veteran families, mental health challenges are compounded by frequent moves, deployments, barriers to care, and other service-related stressors. Military children are also more likely than their civilian peers to experience financial instability, food shortages, or housing instability and to have parents or caregivers who are frontline workers—all of which are risk factors for poor mental health. We’ve pulled together experts who will share about the unique ways they are serving this special population of the military-connected community.
