Mindful Boundaries Foundations
A six-module on-demand course for therapists, educators, and heart-centered leaders that explores boundary setting as a mindfulness practice.
Full Course Opens September 1
About the On-Demand Course:
Through recorded teachings and group sessions, guided mindfulness and somatic practices, reflection prompts, movement exercises, and practical tools, you'll create dedicated space for deepening your own boundary-setting practice.
Together, we'll explore how to work skillfully with stress, strengthen your capacity for presence, listen more deeply to the wisdom of the body, and cultivate greater clarity, balance, and ease in the midst of a full and meaningful life.
Mindful Boundaries Foundations includes six modules that you can move through at your own pace. For those who want to immerse themselves more deeply in the work, I recommend spending approximately one month with each module and reading Fierce Boundaries alongside the course.
-
Explore the relationship between mindfulness, attention, and boundaries. Cultivate greater awareness of where your time, energy, and care are being directed.
-
Strengthen your capacity to recognize the body's signals, work skillfully with somatic awareness, and identify where a boundary needs to be set or reinforced.
-
Explore how self-compassion supports healthy boundaries personally and professionally and helps transform patterns of self-abandonment, over-functioning, and burnout.
-
Explore the practice of becoming more intentional about what you do and do not participate in. Reclaim your time, energy, and attention by aligning your choices with your values and priorities.
-
Apply mindful awareness to difficult conversations, conflict, and relational dynamics while practicing clear and compassionate communication.
-
Reflect on insights from the course and explore how mindful boundaries can support sustainable service, authentic leadership, and everyday life.
Deepen the mindfulness and somatic practices that nourish your wellbeing and support the meaningful work you do.
Who This Course Is For
This program is designed for thoughtful, caring people whose lives and work are rooted in service, healing, teaching, caregiving, or contemplative practice.
You understand the value of mindfulness, somatic awareness, and healthy boundaries because you have experienced their impact firsthand. You may have spent years studying, teaching, or sharing these practices with others. At the same time, you may recognize a longing for more space, more balance, and a deeper commitment to your own wellbeing.
Mindful Boundaries Foundations is for people who want to deepen their mindfulness, somatic awareness, and boundary-setting practice in service of a life that feels more sustainable, soul-aligned, and embodied.
Whether you are supporting clients, students, patients, family members, community members, or fellow practitioners, this program offers a structured pathway for strengthening the practices that allow you to show up with greater presence, clarity, compassion, and access to your inner wisdom.
It is also an opportunity to step out of the role of provider for a little while and become the receiver. It is your turn to rest into the practice and make space for you to be supported, nourished, and held.
Throughout the six modules, you will explore what it means to cultivate a sustainable foundation of mindfulness, self-care, and healthy boundaries that supports both your wellbeing and the meaningful work you are here to do.
