Yes, this program is suitable for beginners – we start with the basics, keep the practices approachable, and build week to week. The small-group setting creates a supportive environment where you can reflect and share without pressure. The pace also allows time for you to integrate the concepts and practices into your daily life. 

Yes. Even if you have an established practice, this program offers something different. With a focus on reflection and discussion within a supportive group, you’re given the chance to explore mindfulness concepts more deeply and learn from the experiences of others. Many participants find that hearing different perspectives and sharing their own insights enriches their existing practice.

No, the online sessions will not be recorded. The program is highly interactive where participants are encouraged to share their own experiences. Recording sessions can take away from the safe and open environment we aim to create within the group. 

Attendance at each of the weekly sessions is highly encouraged to get the most benefit out of the program and to maintain the supportive group environment. If you know in advance that you’re going to miss more than 2 sessions, it’s best to join the waitlist for the next available running of the program. If you have to miss a session unexpectedly, I’ll help you stay connected to the content and the take-away practices so you can keep up with the group as much as possible.

The exact day and time of the practice sessions will be determined on the first call. We will go with a day and time that works for the majority of the group. These calls will be optional.

Absolutely. A link to the mindfulness practices you’ll experience within the program will be provided to you so that you can access them between sessions and after the program is completed. 

This depends on the coverage available to you under your extended health benefits plan. You may have access to wellness benefits within your plan where such a program might be covered. It’s best to reach out to your insurance provider for confirmation.
