ONLINE: Pragmatic Mindfulness in Turbulent Times, Greater Victoria, BC.

We live in a turbulent world — anxious and worried, overwhelmed, and often just struggling to stay afloat.

Pragmatic Mindfulness is a skillful way to ease our worries, lighten feelings of overwhelm, and soften the frustration and anger that ripple through us.

In this one-hour VIRTUAL program, we will explore our agitated nervous systems and learn simple, practical ways to calm down and be more present. This is the pragmatic part: we will walk through how these skills can become part of our daily lives.

Being a little calmer and more in control of our emotions is an innate quality within us. We don’t have to create it — we simply allow it to arise. Like walking on a beautiful day, we let the sunshine in, feel it, know it, and experience it.
