What is Mindfulness?Mindfulness is a way of regulating our nervous system by paying attention to our experience in this moment with curiosity and kindness instead of judgment.
This simple practice of noticing and accepting what is happening inside us and around us gently shifts our nervous system out of it’s more reactive states and into a state of greater openness and ease. We are more present and attentive, can navigate difficult thoughts and emotions with greater equanimity, and choose more skillful responses to what life throws our way. |
I am delighted and sustained by solitude, study, and work on our cozy farmhouse property in the woods of Dundee, OR. My husband and I have 2 teenage boys and a younger daughter who provide plenty of excitement when things get too quiet. Making Space Centering Practice is an alchemy of my ongoing education in neuroscience, mindfulness, contemplative practice, and bringing compassionate presence to a suffering world.. I am currently teaching mindfulness to children and adolescents in the Newberg School District, working with adults and youth one on one, and leading retreats. |
