A Mindful Life is a place for you to practice the tools you most likely already know will help you to live with more presence, ease, and happiness, but often get pushed aside for later, which rarely comes. Each week we come together in a uniquely intimate and safe community to practice: 1) mindfulness meditation, 2) gratefulness, 3) self-kindness and loving-kindness, 4) reflective exercises. Groups are limited to 12. Please note that these groups are for those who have some experience with meditation (it is not a meditation class) and for those willing to go deep with their inner explorations. 

​

This will be your dedicated space to listen to yourself, observe, reflect, and have space to be just as you are within a warm community of people who support you. It gives you precious time with yourself to remember what matters to you and to know what is alive in you and to share from that place. I am often told that the deeper, more genuine level of connection and communication that happens in these groups is hard to find outside. Each group is a special community which you, too, can be a part of.

​

Main Tools in A Mindful Life:

• Mindfulness meditation. 

• Gratefulness. Each week we work with a specific practice to contemplate on gratitude. It won’t be pushing gratitude on you, as if you “should” be grateful, but will invite you to enjoy what is around the specific topic. Gratitude brings more joy. 

• Loving-Kindness and Self-Kindness. There will be an emphasis on cultivating kindness for ourselves and others. This will come in the form of guided exercises and meditations. We can find a kinder, gentler way of being with ourselves and others. 

• Reflective Exercises. I will bring in a weekly topic and will ask a series of deepening questions for you to explore. I will guide you into your body to get a whole body awareness of what might be present. This will be a way for you to get to observe, to hear your needs, to know yourself better by diving in and asking yourself to stay with what is present underneath a subject.
