We all need self-care, love and acceptance; these states of being allow the heart to feel safe and willing to meet life as it is. Mindfulness meditation is not only a lifestyle and practice technique we can use to collect and calm the mind, it also develops compassion.
Compassion - as the Buddha described: is a quivering of the heart in response to that which is difficult.
If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"~ RuPaul
Join Kat Boehm in a exploratory workshop to nourish and develop self compassion. Through the formal practice of guided meditation, sharing within our community, and offering current neuroscience information, this workshop will remind us of our deepest intentions - to be kind and gentle.

Offered in the spirit of Dana - Generosity:
In the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are given freely because they are considered priceless. We, as practitioners get to also practice dana, or generosity, by making monetary offerings for the teachings. Dana is not payment for goods or services rendered; it is given from freely the heart. Your generosity is a gift that supports not the teacher and studio but also the Sangha, and your own practice.
