Class Information
“Why Mindfulness?” Narrated by Dan Harris, produced by Happify. An endearing short clip on the super-power you are building with MSC.
What is a Window of Tolerance?
MSC supports staying in and growing our “Window of Tolerance”, because that is where we experience growth, love, peace and connection.
This is a beautifully illustrated video on what leads to individuals having different windows of tolerance, how to show up for others who are struggling, and most importantly for our work together, how to support ourselves in growing our window of tolerance (12 minutes).
This is a space where you belong, where you are welcomed
exactly as you are because of who you are.
