Courage

Written By Lisa Vratny-Smith

The events of this week have me thinking about courage. The courage to stand up and speak out for what is right, to stretch our comfort zones, and to take risks. Each small act of courage we take supports us in taking the bigger steps when they arise. It is my fervent hope that the leaders of our country will have the courage to stop the many types of destruction being perpetrated by this administration. Calling and emailing them is one way we can each demonstrate our own courage and encourage them to act. I implore each of us to be courageous in the ways we are able to do the good in front of us and support others in their own courageous choices.

Please join me this weekend via Zoom for Saturday Morning Yoga as we pause, listen to our bodies, and care for ourselves with lovingkindness. Please join me for the next Full Moon Sound Bath on May 2.

There are still a few spaces available in this summer’s Mindfulness Retreat for Educators, June 13-17 at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Space is limited, so sign up soon!

REGISTRATION OPEN! I will be offering the Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion this spring. SCMSC is a 6 week adaptation of the full MSC course where you will learn to use the skills of mindfulness to develop the inner resource of self-compassion and enhance your capacity for emotional wellbeing. Tuesdays May 5 - June 9, 6-7:30 PM via Zoom.
