Mind Sanitizer
Pandemics ... presidential primaries ... panic? Store shelves are more likely to have purple unicorns than Purell these days, but we can always give ourselves some housecleaning above the jawline.

Holding Space for Grief
Online eventI'm seeing more and more signs that many of us are moving into a grieving stage of our collective experience. Loss is perhaps the most painful example of the law of impermanence described by the Buddha, and confronting it is profoundly difficult. Learning how to make space for grief - whether for the loss of […]

In my experience, the answer is a resounding YES, and in this session I will share what brought me to that understanding. This session will be […]
