Resources

You may think of mindfulness or meditation as something people do in solitude.  In reality, practicing in community is an essential component of ongoing mindfulness practice, for beginners and more experienced practitioners.  Being in community greatly enhances the benefits one experiences through practice, whether or not you consider yourself to be an introvert, an extrovert, or someplace in between.  Part of the services I offer is assisting you to find a practice community that suits you.

Having access to a facilitator or mindfulness teacher is supportive as you deepen your practice.  Questions may arise along the way.  I am available to anyone wishing to discuss their ongoing practice and anything that arises with more consistent meditation.

While mindfulness certainly reduces stress, a committed practice can open the door to much more: clarity, emotional resilience, compassion, and the wisdom to meet life as it unfolds. I am here as a resource as you move through these experiences on your own timeline.

  • Loving-Kindness (Metta)

    A gentle practice of offering kindness ~ to others, to ourselves, and perhaps to the wider world.  There are so many ways to do this practice - lots of room to explore what works, or doesn’t work, for you.



  • Close-up of shallow water with visible sand and small rocks underneath.

    Sound Meditation

    Listening to sounds as they arise and pass can be a beautiful anchor for meditation, in lieu of the breath.  When thoughts appear in your mind, or your attention wanders, you can gently guide your attention back to the sounds. 


  • A person's bare foot walking on sandy beach with rippled patterns in the sand.

    Walking Meditation

    What happens when you focus on the feeling in the soles of your feet while you’re walking to the bus stop, or on your way to work? Another option is to take notice of the sights, sounds and smells while on a walk in the park.  There are so many ways to vary walking meditation, including practices that don’t involve walking.

    Self-Compassion

    The question of, what do I need in this moment, can be essential.  It may be helpful to ask yourself, how would I talk to a friend who is having a hard time?  That same internal voice is the one that can support you, too.
