Mindfulness Mondays--Launching May 2023!

-

 

Excited to share that I am now officially certified to teach mindfulness meditation having culminated my 2-year program through MMTCP, Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield's program with Sounds True & UC Berkeley! I've been catching my breath to plan next steps and wanted to update you on an exciting launch of a monthly drop-in class starting this May.

Each month I will offer a class with a different mindfulness theme, built to invite beginners and also deepen the practice of veterans. My first session "You are the Sky", will explore cultivating spaciousness, and will be offered via Zoom on May 22, 2023 from 7-8PM ET. Class will include a short dharma talk on Allowance and a guided meditation, followed by prompts for reflection and a Q&A.
