Moving together in community can fill our lives with creativity, beauty, connection and joy
"Regular exercise also remodels the physical structure of your brain to make you more receptive to joy and social connection. These neurological changes rival those observed in the most cutting-edge treatments for both depression and addiction. The mind-altering effects of exercise are even embedded in your musculature. During physical activity, muscles secrete hormones into your blood-stream that make your brain more resilient to stress. Scientists call them "hope molecules." "
~The Joy of Movement How exercise helps us find happiness, hope, connection, and courage
