Everyday Mindfulness: A Toolkit for Parents with Susan Reifer

Help your kids learn to more skillfully navigate daily life’s ups and downs with everyday mindfulness tools.

In this two-hour adult workshop, divided over the course of two consecutive evenings, you’ll learn basic foundations of mindfulness and meditation, and an array of tools and practices you can share with your kids to help support their resilience and well-being.

In session one (on Monday, December 5th, from 7 to 8 pm), we’ll sample introductory mindfulness and meditation practices, and cover a brief overview of the brain structures, biological science and behavioral research behind why and how mindfulness tools are effective for both kids and grown-ups.

In session two (on Tuesday, December 6th, from 7 to 8 pm), we’ll cover an array of specific mindfulness-based exercises that can help support increased self-regulation, resilience, self-awareness, stress management and well-being in youth of varying ages.

Please note that session two will be open only to those parents who attend session one in full

This special workshop is geared toward Sea to Sky adults with kids between the ages of 10 and 16.
