"Mindfulness helps me explore my own human experience directly and profoundly. I enjoy sharing my practice with others who are on the lookout for skillful ways to meet the increasing complexities of life. As a result of this practice, I have experienced increased clarity, reduced anxiety, and a greater capacity for kindness. May you find meaningful experiences like these and more." ~ Deanna Sylvester

If we are not deliberately cultivating resilience in ourselves, we risk the effectiveness of that healing environment and our career longevity.
