This discussion group is open to parents and caregivers and anyone who is interested in an authentic, mindful way of raising children of any age. We will have a short check in, an open forum where you can share anything that’s alive in your relationship with children at the moment, and a short exercise or activity to experience in small groups that may help you to process or gain insights for your family life.
