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 Mindful Life Group is a special community which you, too, can be a part of. 

Offered typically in 8 week segments, each week we come together in a uniquely intimate and safe community to practice: 1) mindfulness meditation, 2) gratefulness practice, 3) self-kindness and loving-kindness, 4) reflective exercises, 5) mindful communication. Groups are limited to 16.  

​

What do A Mindful Life groups do for us? They...

​

• Give us a dedicated space to practice meditation. Something that often gets pushed off to "later," which may never come. Practicing in a group setting is very powerful and often different from sitting alone.

• Give us space in our busy lives to slow down to listen and feel what is alive in us. To meet ourselves with curiosity and care. Only with awareness can we choose what we do.

• Give us space to mindfully reflect on what matters most. They reconnect us to what we value. So much can bring us away from what we truly care about, it helps us to remind ourselves.

• Move our attention to what is well and good, to what is full and joyful. Gratefulness naturally arises when we turn our attention to the goodness that's here.

• Help us to meet ourselves and others with greater compassion and kindness.

• Help us to hear our own wisdom, as well as others', as we practice listening and speaking mindfully. Deeper, meaningful conversations are the norm here.

• Gently stretch our perceptions and help us to move away from our habitual reactions so we have more choice and possibility.

• Create a sense of community.

• Help move us out of the small "I" that gets stuck in taking things personally, and help us to see our connection to everything around us and brings us humility. We are reminded that other people, just like us, have these experiences which loosens our grip and gets us out of shame and blame.

Please note: A Mindful Life groups are limited to 16 participants and intended 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 through reflective and contemplative exercises. I do not give meditation instruction, though certainly questions can be explored that arise in our practices. It does ask for your consistent attendance. There are no make-ups or refunds for missed sessions.  If you are new to working with me, I will schedule a brief phone consultation to get to know you and to be sure it is the right fit.
