Mindful Meditation Series to benefit Mamatoto Village
|
The Mindful Meditation Series is a way for women to be together in community and learn different ways to pause, reflect, and connect with ourselves. Each month Michael Vostal will guide a 30-minute session which will include time to connect, a mindfulness exercise, and reflection. You can register for one or all of the sessions and all registered participants will receive a recording of the mindfulness portion of the session (which you can view even if you are unable to attend the live session).
All proceeds from the series will be donated to Mamatoto Village as a part of our commitment to support communities of mothers. The suggested donation for each workshop is $5-10. |

Mindful Meditation Sessions
Past:
Connecting to the Heart Guided Visualization
Recorded Monday, February 8
Mothers are often told that they should put the needs of others before themselves, but we all know the saying: You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take these few minutes to go inward and refill your own cup so you can meet the challenges of motherhood with more self-compassion. Through this guided meditation you’ll learn how to tap into your own energy source any time you need.
Body Confidence Guided Visualization
Recorded Wednesday, March 17
Giving birth is one of the most miraculous things we can witness in this life, and as mothers our bodies must change and adapt to create this new life. At the same time, the world still tells us to be smaller, lighter, leaner – to “bounce back.” This can make it challenging to feel confident in this new version of yourself. This brief guided meditation is designed to help you reconnect with your body and access your inner confident self—reminding you that you have the power to feel good in your body!
Grief and Loss Guided Somatic Meditation
Recorded Tuesday, April 13
Whether you have suffered a personal loss or are feeling the collective sense of grief many of us are experiencing, this guided meditation will help you reconnect with your body and allow you to sit with these feelings in a safe and supportive. By observing how grief and loss feel in your body, you can greet them with more compassion while remaining grounded.
Conscious Living Guided Writing Exercise
Recorded Friday, May 14
How many hours in our day do we spend on autopilot? Claiming we don’t have time to make the changes we want to see in our lives, we let precious time go by without fully experiencing the moments that count. This short, guided exercise will help you move out of “autopilot and begin to make conscious choices, allowing you to feel more connected to your life and those in it.
Taking Up Space Guided Moving Meditation
Recorded Thursday, June 10
As a society, we are working to break down old ways of being in the world – this is a great opportunity for awakening. As women, we have been told to be smaller by dieting, not speaking up, or choosing a career that’s more “suited” for women and motherhood. But the time is here to take up more space, to shine more brightly. This meditation will help you tap into your power so you can go forward in your life and take up all the space you desire!
