During our time together, Erin will provide an overview of where mindfulness meditation comes from and its many benefits, followed by a 20-minute siting practice with time for Q&A afterwards. Mats & props will be available to use, but feel free to bring anything that supports you. Whether you’re new to mindfulness meditation or looking to deepen your existing practice, this course will be sure to have something for everyone.

Erin is an experienced meditator having practiced various forms of meditation since the age of 16;however, in 2021, while determined to recover from the burnout and compassion fatigue felt as a result of spending more than a decade as a social worker in child welfare, she found the key to a resilient mind and a wide-open heart in the gentle practice of mindfulness meditation.

In February of 2022, Erin received her certification to teach mindfulness meditation after graduating from the Dharma Moon and Tibet House US 100 Hour Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program taught by David Nichtern, asenior teacher in the lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. This tradition combines a contemporary, secular approach to meditation with the ancient practices and philosophies of Tibetan Buddhism. Erin’s mission with Open Hearts and Resilient Minds is to share the benefits of a consistent mindfulness meditation practice with all who are ready to live with a greater sense of ease, clarity, and compassion in the present moment. Additionally, to those in high stress environments or at risk of burnout including but not limited to corporate settings, social workers, first responders, military and medical personnel, veterans, teachers, individuals experiencing homelessness, and victims of domestic violence.
