— Do you feel like you lost YOU somewhere along the path of your life?
— Do you ever feel stuck, like you’re trapped on the merry-go-round of your life, doomed to repeat the same self-limiting beliefs and destructive patterns over and over again?
— Are you great at being there for others, but often fall short in making time for yourself?
— Are you ever overwhelmed by your life and wish you had the ability to calm and focus your mind, in the moment?
— Do you feel worn down because you feel like whatever you do, it’s never enough?
–Do you ever feel like you’re sleepwalking through your life, just going through the motions, but not really connected to what matters most to you or what’s truly meaningful?
Upcoming Classes
MINDFULNESS MONDAY: weekly drop-in
If you are brand new to Mindfulness, or have practiced for years, you’ll find the support, community and guidance you need, in this weekly gathering online. The purpose is to support other likeminded individuals interested in exploring the practices of Mindfulness and Compassion, and to experience the practices firsthand. Every week offers a different way in which you can incorporate Mindfulness into your everyday life. All are welcome, and diversity is celebrated.
Lovingkindness: A heart practice workshop
If you struggle with anxiety, and often find yourself stuck on the merry-go-round of negativity in your life, then this workshop is for you. It will introduce you to a powerful practice that has literally been proven to rewire your brain. The practice of Lovingkindness builds new neural pathways that help you cultivate more happiness, calm and peace in your life. This workshop will provide you with the foundation that you will need to establish a home practice.
Two Wings of Practice: Mindfulness and CompassioN
If you have already taken a “beginning” Mindfulness class and/or read a couple of books on Mindfulness, and are looking to deepen your understanding and practice of Mindfulness and Compassion, then this is the course for you! Using the combined practices of Mindfulness and Compassion, you will activate two of the most powerful tools known for self-discovery and personal transformation.
Why should I care about
Mindfulness and Compassion?
Mindfulness wakes us up to what is going on right in front of our eyes. It widens our lens on ourselves, our world, and our reality. Over time, our lens can narrow, or get stuck, because of our fears. The tools of Mindfulness and Compassion widen our aperture. Mindfulness shows us where our lens is “stuck”, and Compassion helps us get “unstuck”. By changing the way we relate to our experience, with curiosity and compassion, instead of judgement, we connect to the tools that support us in transforming ourselves directly, and the world indirectly.

Testimonials
I really appreciated her patience, explanations, and the cadence of the whole class – it gave me time to understand and process everything that was being taught. In fact, the whole entire class far exceeded all of my expectations.
Brian H.
This class introduced me to the practice of mindfulness. It has been invaluable to me during a difficult time in my life to be able to center myself and approach my experiences with kindness and compassion. The open heart practice has allowed me to approach both myself and others with so much more kindness and patience, which we all need so much of now. A great course with a great instructor. Such a small investment of time and resources for such an enormous personal pay off.

Ingrid’s mere presence is peaceful, as is her voice. She was a perfect model for what she teaches. When she taught she was totally connected and present. I almost felt that she was teaching directly to me.
