Summer Classes!

Mindfulness for Beginners
(& we are all beginners)

Tuesdays at 7 pm this summer
Outdoors (when possible) in my yard in Middletown

It's the simplest of things, to be aware of the present moment, with curiosity and honesty. But that doesn't make it easy. And whether you're new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, your ideas and expectations may make it seem complicated or hard.

For me, summer is always a 'back to basics' time. Join this established group to discover and rediscover the gentle and powerful practice of presence. We will stay close to (what I consider) the basics--awareness, discipline, curiosity, and gentleness and apply them directly to our experience in meditation and in life.

If you're interested in joining or have questions, please email me.

Mindful Parenting Mornings

Wednesday mornings at 10 am
at my home in Middletown

It's not parenting that's so hard, really. It's parenting in a way that's out of sync with the world around us and our own conditioning, and without the cultural support that parents need. We all deserve the support of a loving community as we raise kids in this complicated world!

Join me for that loving support. We will gather to practice mindfulness in a way that's accessible for even the busiest parent and that can be useful in the challenging moments in your life. We will integrate gentleness and honesty--seeing ourselves and our children as we truly are with acceptance whenever possible. And we will explore what it is to be the leader our kids need, which isn't the same as being perfect, always strong, in control, or staying out of conflict!

Interested? Please email me to register or with questions.
