Spring is in the air!
Why not join me and learn more about mindfulness and meditation in the season of new beginnings! I’m offering three workshops this Spring, each is unique and caters to different parts of our mindful spirit. The first is my Winedfulness course. This course introduces you to the practice of mindful eating (and drinking). We will explore 6 wines that are “off the beaten track” and taste different small plates after. I will introduce mindful meditations as well as provide you with suggestions on how to bring mindfulness into your daily life. This is a great intro course for you and your partner (or friend!). Price: $40 (regularly $60) and $75 for two people! Space is limited. Date: Saturday, April 14 from 8-10pm. My 2nd course is a two part Mindful Parenting Workshop offered at the Old Ottawa South Firehall! This course is an intro to mindful parenting. If you have taken the evening workshop, not to worry! This course takes what we originally learned (using the same resources), but invites you to dive into the practice. We experience different mindful meditations, play with the resources and explore our parenting / caregiving struggles. We also have daily homework to get you into the habit of daily meditation. Lots of resources will be provided and participants will have full access to my extensive library throughout the week. Price: $130 (course may be covered by your insurance) Date: Thursday, May 3 & May 19 from 6:30-9pm My 3rd course is the bread & butter of mindfulness. This 8 week, Mindfulness Based Stressed Reduction (MBSR) - or what I like to call, Mindfulness for Stressed out Folks - is the original foundational Mindfulness course. Designed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, this intensive program immerses participants in the world of mindfulness through practice. Science tells us that daily mindful meditation over an 8 week period changes the way our brain works. It creates neural pathways that helps us to respond differently to stress, become more resilient to adversity and develop increased levels of compassion for self and others. I LOVE this course. I find that participants who really put in the time have had incredibly positive and life changing outcomes. If you’re a parent, teacher or caregiver, this course is GOLD! Not only does it provide you with a compassionate space to learn about your triggers, it gives you concrete tools that will allow you to work through and respond differently to those triggers. For me, the MBSR program has taught me the gift of the “pause”. As a parent and social worker, it has improved my relationships with both my children and partner, but also the way in which I see myself and my community. Mindfulness practice has the potential to be life changing. Price: $425 (course may be covered by your insurance). Sliding Scale available. Date: Sundays, May 6-June 24, from 6:30-9pm. Full day silent retreat on June 16th from 9:30-3pm.
