You are invited to join Carey Would and I, on a journey through ‘An Integrated Path’ , in navigating the demands of modern life at the sanctuary that is 🌱🌳
See details below. ⬇️

Introduction to Mindfulness Workshop:
Finding your anchor

Are you interested in cultivating a kinder relationship with the demands of the modern world?

This is an invitation to move from a reactive “doing” mode into a resilient “being” mode. By integrating neuroscience with foundational mindfulness and the practice of meeting ourselves with internal warmth and patience, we facilitate a space for you to cultivate the skills to meet life’s challenges with a clear mind and a steady heart.

Anchored in the felt sense of the body, this path supports you in navigating daily life with a more grounded presence—wherever you find yourself.

Mindfulness is a lifelong journey that is practiced one moment at a time. The most important moment of that journey is always the one where you choose to show up for yourself.”

— Jon Kabat-Zinn

THE PATH

🌱The Introduction: Finding Your Anchor

We facilitate an initial space to explore the foundational move from “doing” into “being.” This introductory workshop offers a practical entry point into mindfulness, blending modern research and insights with the felt sense of the body to help you establish a grounded presence in your daily life.

🌳The Three-Week Container: Nurturing the Foundation

Following the introduction, we invite you into a dedicated three-week container—a space to embody your practice more fully. Together, we nurture a sense of curiosity and non-judgment, allowing for the space to see things as they are.

Whether you are beginning again with a fresh perspective or nurturing an existing practice, this journey offers the support to weave these qualities into the very fabric of your lived experience.

Bedtime lullabies….a practice I haven’t connected with in quite some time. This life is a mystery. This song moved through many moons ago and has decided to reveal itself once again…I am uncertain as to where it’s heading nor why it is here, and thats ok. Much like the mystery of this wild life.

Bodhi has something to say 😅

Anyone else notice the relentless distractibility of the mind from the present moment regardless of where it comes from - internally (thoughts, emotions) or externally (work, duties and obligations, family etc - dogs communicating its walk time 😂)?

In the first video, I try to share a few thoughts about offering introductory sessions and workshops again after many moons & the gift of beginning again.

The second video is of Bodhi. Welcome, Bodhi😅

The possibility of beginning again and again in each given moment and the opportunity to see something that is familiar to us, as if seeing it for the first time - beginners mind, are two of the many gifts a sound mindfulness practice can gift us.

I’ll be sharing a few thoughts about this here, as well as some upcoming offerings.

A few reflections during this time of year. A reminder to check in on loved ones as we all collectively navigate this being human.

To all holders of healing spaces. Thank you.

I hear you. I see you. Thank you for doing all that you do and being who you are. Thank you for creating a safe and sacred space for those weary hearted that need to be heard and held. Amidst the uncertainties and traumas in this life and all that is piling up on a daily basis you still choose to be present for others. Thank you for holding it together at times for those who can’t. Thank you for sitting in the proverbial mud with each person that enters your space. Thank you for creating space for all of it, for celebrating the growth and process that you see unfolding in the person before you. Thank you for holding both the reality of this life and hope in hand.
Thank you for bearing witness to the pain, anguish and fear and allowing it to be truly felt, processed and integrated. Thank you for allowing voices that have been hidden for so long to resurface and be heard. Thank you for creating space for others to take the journey of rewriting their own narrative and not the narrative that they have been told about themselves.
Thank you for creating space for those to feel safe enough to come home your their truth, their true selves, their wholeness. Please take care of your nervous systems. The choice to heed to the call of what you are called to offer in this world is really really tough sometimes (most times).
Take decisions that will nurture and support your wellbeing. Step toward that which brings you joy, that which fulfils you. Allow yourself the time to disengage. Allow yourself the time to rest, to fall apart, in the falling apart, the cracking, the necessary healing continues to grow, strengthen and allows for the light to shine in. Allow yourselves the time to be messy.

Dear ones, you experience and live the traumas, the triggers, each being brings to you.
So the invitation amidst it all is to honour yourselves, your wellbeing so that you can continue to hold the light in the darkness , be a steady bridge for those who need support, be the boat that supports a vessel of hope and healing.

Thank you for being and for your wholehearted presence.

Gathering our voices together in sacred song connects our shared humanity. Sometimes, there are no words to explain the inexplicable; sometimes, it’s the sharing in our voices together that dissolves the grief, the sadness, the sorrow, and pain. It breathes life into this very meaning of being human, allowing us to share beyond words, straight through to the heart and from the heart.

This offering is for everyone, regardless of what you’re carrying. For those moving through sadness, grief, loss, and anxiety, as well as those experiencing joy and celebration, joining together in this shared humanity reminds us that we can hold it all together – both, the grief and the joy.
