On Saturday, May 23 at 11am PT, tune in to YouTubeLiveto hear Susan talk about caring with wisdom and compassion. In challenging times, many of us react differently. Some of us shut down while others go into caretaking overdrive, caring for everyone and anybody except themselves. Noticing when we're caring for others out of fear and reactivity or from a place of wisdom and compassion steadies us and keeps us from becoming overwhelmed. In this live talk, Susan will look at Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's four-step process for meditating on emotions through the lens of family life. She'll talk about how these four steps help parents and other caregivers take care of themselves while taking care of others, and she'll offer child-friendly games and perspectives that support families even in the most stressful and uncertain situations:

Live, interactive webinar where participants will be able to ask questions through the workshop. If you cannot join live, not to worry. All participants will have access to the recorded version of the webinar and all materials.
