Class Options To Choose From
Mindfulness on the Go: Weekly virtual class to help reduce stress and increase satisfaction and purpose in your practice.
Personalized Group Classes: Customized classes designed for healthcare groups, offering direct instruction, actionable mindfulness practices, and resource materials.
Yearly Retreats
Mindfulness retreats are designed each year by our highly experienced instructors. They are two-day long sessions that are held either in person or virtually as determined by the current state of the Covid pandemic.
Retreats will teach practical strategies and tools for integrating mindfulness into your daily life, including walking meditation, mindful eating, and breathing practice.
Didactic instruction covers topics such as the realities of burnout, the mind body relationship to stress, and the importance of resilience and self-compassion.
Retreat participants benefit from group discussions, sharing their experiences, and active participation in practicing mindfulness techniques.
