Gentle and present breathing
Tuning into my breath brought me home to myself this morning and gave me space to be gentle and present. Sitting on my couch before my son woke up for school, I enjoyed feeling my breath flowing in and out of Read More

We live in a time when meditation and mindfulness are becoming widespread in individual lives and institutions, teaching us tools for tapping into our capacity for authentic presence, stronger relationships, fulfilling work, and increased resilience and well-being.

Confident Fear
Fear is made up of many emotions. One that seems to play a large role for me is my level of confidence. Take for example, skiing (I went today with my family, so this is fresh in my mind). When I am Read More
Enlightened Dishes
