Dear friends, I wanted to begin here with a message about mindfulness in this ongoing challenging time.  Now is the time to feel our feet on the earth, rest in the breath, connect with our hearts, and practise wise response.  The practise is big enough to hold this moment, too.  

This fall I am offering two classes:
​- Introduction to Mindfulness
- and a new class, combining mindfulness and compassion with the teachings of the late Cree Elder Jim  Settee, called Indigenous Presence
Please see Mindfulness Classes to register
With every good wish, Jeanne
