We all struggle with difficult emotions at many times in our life. This online educational class will focus on three challenging emotional states: anxiety/fear, depression/sadness and anger and introduce mindfulness tools to help navigate these emotions with more steadiness. The basics of nervous system regulation (connection, fight/flight and freeze) will be covered, as different emotions arise from our changing physiological states. Each week we will practice mindfulness tools to help navigate these emotions and also learn how to invite more positive emotional states into our lives such as compassion and equanimity. (Note: this is not a therapy group).

You will also receive a downloadable meditation for each class.

Minimum of 6 students needed for the class to be held.

When we experience overwhelming events, no matter how long ago they occurred, it can be hard to get through everyday life. This four week, 2 hour/week class offers you a roadmap to understand how trauma has affected you and mindfulness tools to support you in your healing process. I hope you will join me in this exploration of the challenges and possibilities of post-traumatic growth!

For individuals with PTSD/trauma and clinicians who work with this population.

In this class, we will focus on:

• the physiology of trauma and how it dysregulates our nervous system

• understand why mindfulness practices can be difficult for those with trauma

• practice simple, yet profound exercises to strengthen your ability to be in the "here and now" and gradually come home to your body

• learn skills to work with the obstacles trauma presents, such as triggering, body sensations, etc.

Cost:  $180/person ...$165/person for NASW-NM and SWBHIPA members, seniors (55+), students and the military.  Limited partial scholarships available...please reach out to me via email.

Join me most every Thursday at 4:30 Mountain time for a 30 min. weekly meditation experience. This is a drop in class where I invite you to check in with yourself and name what you are needing. Do you wish for a pause, some energizing, a deeper relaxation or settling for your mind or heart? I create the class meditation in the moment, based on your requests and often add some poetry as well. This group started in March of 2020 to replace my in person meditations in Albuquerque, New Mexico and is a light-hearted, inviting space to show up just as you are.

Class is free and if you wish to donate please click HERE

How do we come to know ourselves, to feel comfortable in our own skin and to understand how we move through the world?

Join me in this class as we take a mindful journey into our nervous system. Through mindful "felt-sense"awareness, focused attention, curiosity and mindful somatic inquiry, we will explore our similar but unique nervous systems. We will view our nervous system through the lens of Polyvagal Theory (the work of Dr. Stephen Porges and Deb Dana, LCSW) and learn powerful skills to acknowledge our bio-individuated systems and improve our capacity to shape and shift our experience. The information and practices I will offer have been some of the most important and life changing skills that I and my clients have experienced over the 20 years of my work as a trauma therapist.

NOTE: No class will be held the week of 11/21/22 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

The class will meet for two hour sessions over the course of five weeks so that you have time to practice. At the end of the course, you will understand how how your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity affects your life and learn mindfulness practices to modulate and regulate your day to day experience. Recorded meditations are offered for your practice in between sessions.

You are not at the mercy of your nervous system. You may be currently experiencing anxiety, sadness, sleeplessness, inability to focus or other challenges that you feel are impossible to shift. Understanding your nervous system and your innate ability to shape your inner states is a game changer. You truly have the capacity to improve the quality of your life.

This online MAPs II class emphasizes heart-based qualities that complement mindfulness and can be cultivated through meditation practices. We will explore loving kindness, compassion, equanimity (even-mindedness), joy, generosity, and gratitude.

We will learn new meditations to develop these qualities, tools to work with when we find them ourselves stuck and not feeling positive emotions, and practical exercises to incorporate them into our daily life. This is a helpful expansion to our basic mindfulness practice.

We are all aging with every passing moment. And we live in a culture that is obsessed with youth while also denying the fact that each of us will die. How can we age in a conscious and mindful way?
