Laura will offer a variety of meditations and other practices to help cultivate our capacity for both kindness and compassion. We are all related and dependent on each other for wellbeing, though it is often easy to forget that.

During these workshops you will learn tools to help first encourage greater love and care for yourself and then how you can wisely offer care and compassion to others.

The world as we have known it has changed in so many ways and many of us have felt those changes internally as well. These are challenging times for many of us.

Times like these can be a great opportunity to deepen and expand our understanding of who we are. How we experience our lives is a combination of what happens to us and how we respond.

Committing time to learn new ideas and practices can enhance self-understanding and help us have more choice in how we respond to our world. Cultivating awareness and understanding can deepen the experience of wellbeing while feeling centered and clear. This in turn, helps us act in our lives with greater wisdom.
