• Train attention in ways that shift us from the dullness of autopilot to more clear, vibrant pathways of compassion, care, and connectedness. 
• Experience acceptance as fertile ground for growth
• Tune into the wisdom of the body, opening pathways of health and wholeness.
• Develop habits of mind and heart that open us to respond to life in wise, kind, and balanced ways.

Whether you're looking to increase wellness, enhance relationships, or reduce stress, growing the skills of mindfulness can be foundational.

We’ll explore the basics of sitting practice along with reflective practices to enliven gratitude, kindness, and compassion. Poetry will inspire reflection as we focus on attitudes and routines that support ongoing practice and strengthen our capacity for loving awareness and beloved community.

May our shared practice bring peace within, rippling out into peace in our relationships and our world.
