Classes
Community of Mindful Parenting aspires to empower and connect parents by inviting them to join like-minded families in pursuit of mindful living. We offer two classes, Listening Mothers and Finding Calm, that support parents in learning mindful-based skills to help reduce stress, enhance strong bonds, explore mindful self-compassion and encourage balance.
The aim of both classes is to help parents develop skills to enhance their ability to understand and build stronger relationships with their children. Parents will come away with increased confidence by expanding their understanding of the meaning of their children’s behavior. This understanding helps parents better regulate their own and their child’s emotions with the intention to become less reactive and more reflective. Parents who are able to regain a state of calm are more engaged, more effective, and therefore feel empowered and successful.

“Taking the Listening Mothers course really helped me adjust to my new life as a parent. I now find myself able to understand and get in tune with my baby and am able to live more in the moment after taking this course. I looked forward to being in a calm, soothing environment with other new moms every week and having a safe place to learn and share my experiences. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to learn more about the benefits of mindfulness while exploring their journey into motherhood.”
