Mindfulness for Parents

What do we offer?

INTRO TO MINDFULNESS FOR PARENTS: For those without mindfulness experience, or wanting to build their practice: 4-week Introduction to Mindfulness for Parents. You get the group together - we teach the class!

MPSP - MINDFULNESS PRACTICE SPACE FOR PARENTS (good for alumni or others with experience in mindfulness practice): Weekly 1-hour online space for parents to meditate together, talk about the application of practice to parenthood, and find support in a practice community. Each week is either mainly meditation, some conversation, or mainly conversation, some meditation.

Why do it?

Contractions — moments of tightness / challenge / stress / knotted-up-ness — are a fact of life. Often there are many in our lives as parents as we deal with crying babies, screaming toddlers, fighting siblings, anxious kids, sulking teenagers, or even floundering young adults. This makes parenthood sound like so much fun, doesn't it? We all know there is another side to each of those coins, of course. But can we be in the moments that make up our lives? Can we live into them more fully? Mindfulness practice invites us to sink into all the moments of our lives, to find ease and presence no matter the weather, and to ride the inevitable waves of experiences as they move with varying speed or intensity. 

When is it offered?

INTRO groups are formed by you and taught by us. Get a minimum of 5 parents together and we will teach it, accommodating your schedule.

MPSP meets Mondays from 830pm - 930pm. Contact us to get specifics of the sessions offered.

How does it work?

Put your baby to sleep while meditating! Or yourself. Reconnect with your practice! Or yourself. Learn mindfulness-based parenting hacks. Connect with others who are applying the practice to their parenting lives. This is a flexible space and it’s made for you. Come as you are.
