Mindfulness
Mindfulness is paying attention to life as it unfolds, grounded in the self, but aware of our interconnectedness.
Practicing Mindfulness has many benefits

Want to attend a Workshop or class?
Whitney is a trained Spiritual Director and Koru Mindfulness Instructor. She has been working with mindfulness in her own life for more than a decade. She is passionate about learning to be true to her whole-self through the practice of mindful living and brings that passion into her workshops on this topic.
The workshops are active learning. Practice and discussion, all with non-judgment.
Books that support the workshops
The Inner Work of Racial Justice
The work of dealing with racial justice is very emotional and draining. Rhonda Magee uses the practice of mindfulness to help us become whole and true to ourselves so that we can do this very hard, very difficult work from a place where we respond rather than react.
Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness
Mindfulness asks us to sit in discomfort. It asks us to “see” ourselves and our world “as it is.” This can be hard for people who are suffering from PTSD. David Treleaven helps mindfulness teachers and practitioners to balance the healing power of mindfulness with the immense pain that can come from trauma-induced stress.
The Mindful Twenty-Something
While Koru was developed for this current generation of emerging adults, the practices and lessons are immensely beneficial to anyone who is learning (or in some cases re-learning) mindful practice in this age of constant distraction.
Taking our time and practicing mindful awareness, can help us navigate these strange and uncertain times.
Whitney will soon be arranging classes/workshops on mindfulnes today.
