Are you preparing for an empty nest? After so many years of parenting, this is a particular moment in time that can bring a wide range of feelings. You might feel anxious, excited, sad, happy, ungrounded, or sense it as an opening into the unknown.

Whatever is arising for you, I invite you to join me for a mindfulness workshop where you can take time and space to be with your experience and be proactive in how you want to meet this new period of life as it begins to unfold.

We will meditate to help get grounded, and I will offer a series of reflective questions designed to open inner dialogue and invite your own wisdom to guide how you want to approach and be in this next chapter. In mindful company, we can embrace what is here with kindness.

No meditation experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to lean into your own wisdom. Whether you are preparing to become an empty nester or have recently entered this phase within the past year and feel a desire to connect around it, I welcome you to take this time for yourself.

If this moment in your life is calling for your attention, I invite you to save your space and register. Explore this transition with mindfulness and support. 

Space is limited to 16.

Strengthening Self-Kindness Workshop Jean Vitrano

When your self-critic is loud, do you know how to respond? When you feel anxious, can you befriend the fear behind it?

We are often our biggest critics. Learning to respond to our self-critic with kindness is something we can strengthen. Join me and explore the ways you can be a friend to yourself. In this workshop, we will build the tools we can use to take care of ourselves with mindfulness and loving-kindness. Through awareness and compassion, we prevent ourselves from being dominated by voices that don’t serve us, the ones that get in the way of us living the way we aspire to live. We can free ourselves from self-limiting perceptions and tap into more joy and connection.  

Space is limited to 16.
