Our time in this workshop will be spent connecting with our breath and creating space within. When we connect with our breath we can enjoy the peace outside the hamster wheel of our thoughts.

Quick Start Meditation Practice
When it comes to meditation practice, I like to just go ahead and build in the part where thoughts and distractions compete for my attention. That way, I'm not so hard on myself when I inevitably lose my focus!
Infusing self-compassion into your meditation practice is key. As you get more familiar with the power of silence and calm, remember to stay kind, light and curious with yourself.
Meditation Works!
The best bits won't happen after 1 sesh but with consistent meditation practice and a willingness to let yourself & your world morph, a positive, life changing shift absolutely does occur. #elevate

MSC/ MBSR/ MBCT: Magical Meditation Classes for anxiety, depression, PTSD and more!

The Gaunlet Is Real!: My Journey from Mind Hell to Leading An Awesome Retreat
This last week I went through hell & highwater to arrive at a place where I felt confident and ready to lead people through what turned out to be an incredible meditation practice over four hours (ease up y'all, it's not (always) the tortuous hellscape you may be picturing lol)
Mindfulness in Real Life- Meal Time
It doesn't take a Google search to conclude that thanksgiving and ceremony before mealtime has fallen by the wayside. In our attempts to maximize our day, we tend to pair the time to nourish our bodies with email checking, driving or getting a pedicure (I've seen it!). Imagine a meal where you paused before your first bite instead of digging right in...seems almost revolutionary.
