What happens to our experience of parenting if we bring into it an intention of being nonjudgmentally present and patient? What shifts on the parenting path if you build it on the foundation of mindfulness practice? Can the experience of conscious parenting alter your reactive patterns? Together, we will explore ways of finding harmony between giving and receiving in relationship to our children. We will also discuss the possibility of morphing the energy drain you may experience as a caregiver into a fuel for your joy and peace.
