Mindfulness and meditation have been touted as pow Mindfulness and meditation have been touted as powerful tools for healing trauma, so why does it sometimes feel so bad to meditate? 😵‍💫

Let's explore this with kindness, shall we? 

Join us for "Trauma, Mindfulness and Dharma" a four part online class series with Louije Kim on Mondays, June 27th, July 11th, July 18th & July 25th (No class on July 4th ) from 7:00 - 8:30PM PT via zoom. 

This 4-part series aims to provide you with clear, relatable information about how trauma can look and feel and how it can show up in meditation. We hope to equip you with knowledge to make informed choices about how you engage in dharma practice, as well as teach you skills for gently inclining your mind, body and nervous system toward healing through mindfulness.

PS. This series is open to all, and is appropriate for people who have just started meditating or are considering going on their first silent retreats. It will also support those who are curious to learn basic information about trauma to support their engagement in personal therapy.
