Just added 4 more sessions to the Foundational Practices course in the classroom. Click here to access! These are short, simple, and practical. 1: a beginner-friendly mindfulness meditation (breath at the nose). 2: a one-minute mindfulness top-up with calm music 3: a '5-4-3-2-1' present-state grounding practice 4: a quick talk that clears up the biggest myth about meditation. Let me know what you think! PS: we will be starting a 30 day meditation challenge soon, stay tuned!

If you know anyone that would appreciate this community, invite them to join! Soon I will post a link to book a time to start the community podcast up fully - interviewing members of the community to explore who they are, what they are working on, and really get to connect with one another. Stay tuned! :)

Happy to announce that we are adding co-working sessions to the community. If you are working from home and struggling to stay focused, need accountability or a bit of body doubling to get things done, join in. We start with a quick check-in, then settle into 50 minutes of focused work time. Cameras on is recommended, mics muted. We are starting small with limited times, but am happy to expand with interest - let me know some times that you would like! The idea for coworking came from @Freddi Saleeba & @Maria Phillips, they regularly catch up for sessions and wanted to extend it out. We figured that this would be a good space for it :)
