The presenter said Living Art seeks to \"provide expression so that we can connect to someone else, we can connect to a group, and we can connect to our community and be recognized.\" The speaker invited participants to notice physical sensations—feet on the floor, weight in the chair—and to move small parts of the body, progress to standing, and allow music to guide simple steps.

The presenter framed movement as an accessible form of presence: \"We are all experts at moving. We were doing this before we were born.\" Attendees were encouraged to find a comfortable spot, pay attention to neighbors' space and do simple stretches and hip movements; the session emphasized how small movement can support presence and reduce self‑consciousness.

The segment closed with an invitation to use movement as a tool in everyday life—\"the next time you walk into a place where you might feel a little shy...\"—and a short expression of thanks from the presenter.","A Living Art presenter led a short guided movement session, inviting attendees to notice feet, hips and breath as a way to connect to self and community.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6273952,"Counselor Rick McLeod outlines rules for safer conflict and deeper relationships",1593,1397195,2990385,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2996984-37cf2d86984845f3452468635f94a664&start=1397&end=2990","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2996984-37cf2d86984845f3452468635f94a664/thumbnail_1397195.jpg","/articles/6273952/Missoula/Missoula-County/Montana/Counselor-Rick-McLeod-outlines-rules-for-safer-conflict-and-deeper-relationships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273952-e53d000ea76316560860fd95275cae3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169248&Signature=CPcYR1WWxPCtX4M51ENXo5rGG5tM2NIOWQylt8HaD-Y6NcWSbHbWsUTXvhkv8DIrL5B9DaHgpSveuZEDv~Pglu37K-VaUFcRaeyOsUCG65~JLkaA~ck~4H1rlg~qUCJAb-aN-ClegTbGfZae117GJkgmmiWL8KclpHjeSdAZiM-GVRfA3qjh5PGygIl4qmAZYqeVdDmK2nR-Hud8BQsDLB--QaVFX76Q3D8bAo~IJiM0sQrBPMhoP21du2MRGtp6FEFaEtW2I4fuvScXUwEbn0xsHZIeSzFkjDDRc0bEkbuUYVXNOdj2lej2EjJ3mWG5qUOh1SZtBh5gv~IZqNjS0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rick McLeod, a professional counselor, gave a talk on conflict, intimacy and strategies for making disagreements safer and more productive in relationships.

McLeod said conflict is inevitable and described a framework he and his partner developed to limit harmful behavior during disputes. \"We had to come up with what I called a safe way of fighting,\" he said, emphasizing rules such as avoiding name‑calling, excluding relatives from attacks and not making accusations framed as \"you\" statements.

He described a concept he called the \"conflict box\"—a shorthand for what is and is not acceptable during fights—and urged couples to identify behaviors that are outside the box (for example, cursing, bringing up family members or sustained humiliation). McLeod said such rules increase emotional safety, which in turn encourages sharing and intimacy.

McLeod discussed common dynamics in intimate relationships, including how people tolerate harsher treatment from partners than from strangers and how chemical surges during conflict can narrow attention and escalate harm. He encouraged couples to replace harsh critique with clearer ownership language, noting: \"I put the word I. Usually through a fight, people are kind of self I messed up. I'm sorry. Okay. I'll do this.\"

He said the goal is not to eliminate intensity but to keep fights within agreed boundaries so they are shorter, less frequent and carry less \"conflict hangover.\" McLeod described his own experience: after establishing rules with his partner, their conflicts became smaller in intensity, frequency and length and their long‑term resentment diminished.

McLeod's talk combined clinical perspective from his work with anger and violence groups with practical couple rules: no cursing during conflict, no bringing family into arguments, avoid accusatory \"you\" statements, and agree on what escalation looks like. He framed the guidance as practical steps couples can test and adapt locally.","Rick McLeod, a professional counselor, spoke about normalizing conflict, establishing rules for fighting and practical steps couples can take to preserve safety and intimacy during disputes.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6273956,"Nancy Seldin leads mindfulness session emphasizing breath work and present‑moment awareness",1433,23075,1456520,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2996984-37cf2d86984845f3452468635f94a664&start=23&end=1456","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2996984-37cf2d86984845f3452468635f94a664/thumbnail_23075.jpg","/articles/6273956/Missoula/Missoula-County/Montana/Nancy-Seldin-leads-mindfulness-session-emphasizing-breath-work-and-presentmoment-awareness","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273956-36adabc4d9b8c2742db3193e7f4bcc76/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169248&Signature=d0AYiQmQKZFUpEG76Xg3Lrcb5nCOGuRiNOl-argPUMw42hENCxLGdpeYJ3HxLMI~MqKXsi3Q-ZLenVONDpYfnw3Q0rixlpVXkOfjlHyK07~rrajvxSKw-p3tSa6nwH57qXzQXgm3CueR3X7RD1d2HswNVaScqNtNr4dafSQvj2vpNBVda0DKYhuyjOZ-VCRYT3Zik56ssefj0dT2tGTlpmgxJFUY9kPRiseg~iiRZ~7RsrEtvWqHCp~EcfeFw3wgqcjoCll25ddOFn1KZPEMn91dYbICxYgW-THzePFysO~GT57Zn0fR8MqXDPRuqVQaxZR5bb7SuTmPTHBQhpZh9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nancy Seldin, a presenter who teaches workshops at the University of Montana, led a community mindfulness session that combined a short lecture, a guided breathing exercise and a 15‑minute meditation practice.

Seldin said mindfulness means \"slowing down, going from multitasking to a single focus\" and described the practice as \"physiologically calming your body through a variety of methodologies.\" She framed the practice as accessible to people of any faith: \"You don't have to be a Buddhist or an anything‑ist to practice mindfulness.\"

In her talk Seldin emphasized three elements: breath work, bringing attention to the present moment and avoiding “reacting to your reactions.” She instructed the group to notice the speed and location of their breathing and to try to bring breath into the abdomen, explaining that slowing to \"around 6 to 8 breaths a minute\" can be calming and that simply counting breaths can reduce immediate anxiety. She led a short guided practice in which attendees were asked to notice sensations and use two words—\"calm\" on the in‑breath and \"release\" on the out‑breath—while returning the attention gently when the mind wandered.

Seldin referenced mainstream research while cautioning about overstatement. She mentioned work at Harvard and the University of Massachusetts in Worcester as examples of research lines suggesting physiological benefits, including changes in immune markers and reduced need for some chronic pain medications when people follow structured programs. She noted the best‑known practical resource is Jon Kabat‑Zinn's book Full Catastrophe Living, which she said is listed on the handout distributed at the event.

Seldin described the type of program used in many clinical studies — an eight‑week course with daily practice — and contrasted that with the short, accessible practices she was teaching at the session. She cautioned that mindfulness is not a substitute for medical treatment: \"Would I suggest that you stop taking [blood‑pressure medication] and just do this 15 a day? Absolutely not,\" she said, noting that clinical studies involve longer, more intensive practice schedules.

Resources mentioned at the session include the book Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat‑Zinn and academic research centers cited by the speaker; the handout distributed at the event listed further reading and web resources.","Nancy Seldin led a community presentation on mindfulness, describing breath techniques, the goal of single‑focus attention, brief guided meditation and citing research on stress reduction and immune benefits.","actionData","errors"]
