Mindfulness + Self-Compassion (6-Week Group)
The most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves. Mindfulness and self-compassion help us relate to our experiences differently—with greater awareness, kindness, and ease. Research suggests these are not static traits but “skills” that can be cultivated with intentional practice. These qualities of mind facilitate greater emotional and physical wellness. This course provides an introduction to mindfulness and self-compassion. By the end of this course participants should have developed a daily mindfulness and/or self-compassion practice to support greater ease, joy, and presence in their lives.

Mindfulness + Improv
What do Mindfulness and Improv Comedy have in common? PRESENCE. This class allows you to flex your present-moment muscles in a supportive environment. This concoction of mindfulness and play (supported by research) is ideal for the the over-thinking, perfectionistic, need-to-be-in-control-y person—really, anyone struggling to be present. You’ll practice mindfulness, interactive play exercises, and learn to work with the “internal critic,” all within a non-judgmental atmosphere. You’ll learn how to get out of your head, let go of control, and step into the unknown. No prior improv/acting experience necessary!
