Includes:

Mindfulness thru Caregiving.  Learn a framework and language to evolve personally as you care for others.

The Model of the Mindful Caregiver:
Identify key qualities we aspire to as caregivers and how to grow these qualities in a deep, meaningful way.

Loss and Caregiving:  Together we will examine how our relationship to loss may influence our caregiving, and how the growing sense of loss unfolding in those for whom we care can be identified and held.

Cultivating Compassion: Learn
about common barriers to expressing compassion toward ourselves and others, and discover ways to overcome such barriers.

"No one is wise by birth, for wisdom
results from one own’s efforts.” ~ Krishnamacharya
