exciting announcement!

I have a really exciting announcement to share:

I’ve applied for and been accepted to a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification program! They offered me a 50% scholarship, too!

I’m so grateful for this opportunity to go deeper into my own practice and healing while learning more ways to help share mindfulness and meditation with the world.

My ultimate vision has been laid out for a while now, and I’ve just been doing what I can to stay in alignment and trust the universe - and suddenly this program came into my life. This certification is something that could be exactly what I need to accomplish all of my long term goals.

Many people who know me and come to me for mindfulness content, are coming because they know at least some parts of my life story and want to know how I managed to cope with everything that’s happened.

I don’t mind this. I don’t mind being known for my traumas and scars, however, the idea of being able to introduce myself to new audiences with credentials first and trauma second, feels really liberating.

The program I’ve enrolled in is being run by highly respected folks who prioritize all the things I value, essentially. Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Judson Brewer and tons of other compassionate humans including Eckhart Tolle are involved! I’ll get to be a part of regular mentorship sessions and I’ll learn the best ways to share this incredibly powerful information with more people. Doing a deep dive into Buddhist psychology really speaks to my soul, too. I’ve been feeling really drawn to Buddhist teachings lately.

I am fucking STOKED.

I get to start my prerequisites for this incredible program next week, and I’m starting out with a 7 week Jack Kornfield program called The Power of Awareness. I’ll also be doing a 6 day silent retreat sometime between now and when the main program begins in February.

I think this is a great space to be able to share teachings as I receive them, and I plan to do just that. I think we’re all going to get a lot out of this, together.

Thank you all for your support and trust over these years.

Everything I’ve been working towards feels REALLY possible now, and I’m so excited to create more value for this wonderful community.

Much love to you today,
