January 25th | Finding Inner Peace
Learn to make peace with your mind and not take thoughts so personally. The fact that we all have judgmental thoughts is not our fault, but we can take responsibility for those voices and ask them to leave.
February 1st | Surrendering
In this session, we will explore an approach to come to terms with the way things are. Whether it’s a limitation to accept, an event, life change, or something to let go of, mindfulness strategy can give us the courage.
February 8th | Present Moment Mindfulness
To see takes time, and in this session we will continue to practice inhabiting our own selves and really witnessing and experiencing the world around us.
February 15th | Opening Your Heart
In the words of Mark Nepo, “To hold nothing back in every breath is a spiritual practice.” To not hold back means having the intention to be open, in a daily way.
February 22nd | Mindfulness For Healing
Befriending ourselves and healing inner wounds can change our lives. The peace we are looking for is not somewhere else, but in a loving acceptance of ourselves.
March 1st | Elements Meditation
This special guided elements meditation will utilize the senses to expand perception, sensuality and sensitivity to the beauty of the present moment.
If you are unable to attend live, please email info@laurenziegler.com to access the recordings of the sessions.

Emotional Resilience: Growing our Steady Inner Core – ONLINE
Wednesday, Jan. 20, 9:00 – 10:30 am
When we face stress, our natural instinct is to turn away, self-protect and distract from difficult emotions. In this experiential workshop, we will draw from mindfulness principles and practices to explore alternative responses. Mindfulness offers tools to help us stay present with difficult emotions, decrease our reactivity, and build our stress resilience. This class will support us in creating new pathways for mindful self-care.

Compassion in Action – ONLINE
Tuesday, Feb. 16, 3:30 – 5:00 pm
Recent research in neuroscience has helped to uncover our natural inclination toward cooperation and kindness. It has also revealed barriers to compassion that stand in our way, most importantly a lack of self-compassion. This class will explore how we might remove these barriers, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and apply healthy compassion in widening circles.

Tame your Stress – ONLINE
Tuesday, March 16, 3:30 – 5:00 pm
Stress and negative self-thoughts can be our constant companions. Bringing awareness to the mental habits that keep us stuck in a cycle of stress can be freeing when done with mindfulness. We will explore the practical applications of mindfulness for stress reduction in our everyday lives and learn how we can change our brains for the benefit of our well-being.
