Being a parent/caregiver is wonderful and can also be extremely stressful, especially when combined with the many demands on our shoulders each day, our feelings about the past, and our worries about the future. Mindfulness is a set of tools that bring us into the present moment and enables us to cope with stress, respond with compassion, and stay connected to our children and our partners. 

Join us for an engaging session for both youth and adults where we will learn mindfulness practices for every day use in families with proven tools for awareness and connection. This session will include creative breathing, mindful movement and other practices that parents/caregivers and children can do together, and will also include information for adults about how mindfulness may support them in their role of raising families. Join us for:

• Proven Mindfulness tools

• Connecting with family, community and children

• Simple practices that may be used daily

I love your use of story. I always feel that part of Space Between's strength is in the use of relatable, "real-person" stories to teach. I love "compassion and curiosity."

I feel like you are highlighting that this isn’t about being the perfect, zen parents. It’s about having tools so that I have more choice during stressful moments, more awareness in the beautiful, fleeting moments, and more compassion for myself in the difficult times.
