The Practice of Returning
An 8-week group to support you in meeting life’s challenges with self-compassion while cultivating a deeper trust in your inherent goodness.
These times carry the gravity of a world in upheaval. How can we meet this collective turmoil, as well as our own personal challenges, in ways that are centered, kind, and connected to our own (and others’) goodness?
Inspired by the teachings in Tara Brach’s book Trusting the Gold, in this group we’ll explore practical ways to bring mindfulness and self-compassion to life’s pain and complexities. Through reflections and simple practices, we’ll learn how to meet overwhelm, avoidance, and inner criticism with more presence and gentleness.
At the heart of the group is an inquiry into what it means to “trust the gold” within, and to return again and again to a sense of inherent wholeness, even (and especially) in moments of fear, judgment, and doubt.
These are weighty times, and community is essential. You’re warmly invited to join this space of reflection, authenticity, presence, and connection as together we practice returning to our natural goodness.

The starting place of all healing is embracing even the most painful and shameful parts of our inner experience. Compassion for ourselves naturally leads to caring about others and eventually unfolds into an unconditional and inclusive love for life we never imagined possible.
