Hi Angela! Hope you’re doing well.

I write Everyday Mindful Substack that explore ways to create inner refuge through mindfulness, creativity, and nature connection. Practicing holding life’s challenges in one hand and the earth’s beauty in the other.

In these days of so much upheaval, we could all use some moments of refuge. I've created a 6-week workshop to support us all in creating more moments to slow down and reconnect with inner peace and the world's beauty.

With all of the chaos swirling about, we could all use some reminders for simple stress reduction techniques. Hope this helps!
