Fall 2019 Events
Parenting Mindfully Workshop
Sunday, November 17, 2019 6:00-7:30 pm
at Eastminster
Join us for an exploration of mindfulness led by school psychologist Jelena Popovic. We will reflect on how this practice of nourishing ourselves as parents can help us grow kind, poised and resilient children and teenagers. We will focus on the benefits of mindfulness as a co-regulation interpersonal practice that is grounded in presence and empathy. The invitation is to explore how leading from presence and cultivating mindful awareness can serve as a model for our children to embody these qualities too. With greater mindfulness, we become less reactive, more interested and attuned to what is really going on inside of our child. It’s a practice of developing and cultivating centeredness, that offers balance and authentic aliveness that helps guide and anchor others.
Please email pressley@eastminster.com to reserve your space for this workshop!
