This is a monthly Community Drop-In with Shayla Collins. This is for our beloved community members of: parents & caregivers! We invite you to join us for a time of mindfulness, self-compassion & common humanity! You spend so much of your time caring for others, please join us for a very informal hour (or whatever we you can commit to) of practice for yourself. Our goal is to reinforce the skills you have & to support your well-being so you can continue to give enough to everyone else, both personally & professionally. Know that! We welcome all parents & caregivers to participate! I look forward to an impactful time of engagement, community & learning.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), an empirically-supported 8-week course, combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. MSC practices strengthen our ability to meet life’s difficulties with more wisdom, kindness, and spaciousness, allowing us to relate wholeheartedly to others and be more authentically ourselves.
An informational overview and experiential introduction to the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) class. We will explore such questions as: What is Mindfulness? How can I be more Mindful in my day-to-day life? What interferes with and prevents this from navigating with ease? Several experiential skills will be introduced. Hopefully, this drop-in will cultivate more curiosity and desire for the 8-week class series.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a scientifically supported program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. to reduce stress and increase well-being. It is thriving worldwide. Attitudes of kindness, acceptance, and patience provide a foundation for the practices of sustained focus, self-regulation, and self-exploration. A greater sense of balance, choice, and freedom is cultivated.
Feeling stressed or low-key overwhelmed? In this program, we will explore fun, practical ways to manage stress, boost your happiness, and build emotional resilience. Each week, we will dive into cool activities like yoga, mindfulness practices and creative projects and you’ll learn useful hacks to find some peace when life gets chaotic. The best part? Science backs this up—these practices can help you feel less anxiety, more joy, and even improve focus at school. Join us to discover how mindfulness and self-compassion can make life a little easier and a lot more awesome!
