As the holiday season is upon us, we introduce two Europe-based adoptee coaches who will open up the space to discuss how we can navigate this time of year in a mentally healthy way through mindfulness and meditation practices.

This event will start with a Mindfulness practice, then open for discussion with our coaches sharing potential challenges we may face with our adoptive families during the holiday season, conversations that we can have to help create allies, coping with potential frustrations, and end with a Meditation practice.

**We ask that participants join on time so that we can start together in preparing our minds and hearts for the discussion in a safe and open space.**

**Please note that only the Mindfulness and Meditation practices will be recorded. The discussion portion will NOT be recorded to allow for the safe and open space.**

Mindfulness practice led by SunMee

This mindfulness practice will connect participants in the shared virtual space and find present awareness to stimulate the mind for discussion and the heart for connection.
