Research has shown that becoming more mindful in our daily life can help us to care for ourselves and to care for others in a more compassionate and healthy way.  Including mindfulness moments and practices in our daily routine can help us to lower stress levels and become more aware of our own actions and needs. It helps us to be more responsive to the needs of others, since we are more able to be truly present to them.  Mindfulness is also an important component in both self-care and self-compassion.

Join us to explore these concepts and learn simple ways to live more mindfully, helping us to become more compassionate and present to ourselves and to others.
