Presentations  (currently offered online only)

An Introduction to Mindfulness 

In a time of such uncertainty and challenge, meditation can provide a path home to your true peaceful and compassionate self. This presentation includes an introduction to the concepts and practices related to meditation and mindfulness, a discussion of the benefits of developing a personal practice, and a brief guided meditation to introduce participants to the experience of meditating. 

Mindfulness in Schools

School can be a challenging place for students, faculty, administrators and staff.  A growing body of research is providing strong evidence that mindfulness programs can help address many of those challenges. This presentation offers information about the ways in which mindfulness can help everyone in the school better cope with day-to-day stressors. It will also address how  mindfulness can improve attention and focus and provide  students with strategies for better self-management, creating a more positive and successful school environment. 

Mindful Living/Mindful Parenting

Parenting is one of the most important and rewarding roles in our lives, but it is also one of the most difficult. This presentation provides insights into some of the challenges every parent faces and describes ways in which mindfulness can help enhance your relationship with your children and create a more positive environment in the home.

Habits for Mindful Families

This interactive workshop, taught live online, is designed to help children and their families gain an understanding of the concepts and practices of mindfulness. Through activity and discussion, participants of all ages will learn how to develop habits which can help make mindfulness a routine shared by everyone in the home. 

Mindfulness at Work

What do Apple, Nike, Proctor & Gamble and Google all have in common? These highly successful companies are just a few of the many businesses around the world which have incorporated mindfulness and meditation into their wellness programs or business models. A positive workplace culture is a key component of a successful and prospering business, and yet often the culture is one of the most significant sources of work-related stress. This presentation provides reasons that businesses are turning to mindfulness as a means of improving both the health and productivity of their employees and their bottom lines, and describes ways to improve company culture through mindfulness practices.

Work with me one-on-one to develop a personal meditation and mindfulness practice. Individual sessions include guided meditations, instruction, and reflection regarding your experiences with meditation, as well as ongoing support for you in committing to a daily practice. These sessions are conducted live online.
