Hello Friends, Maria and Jackie here with another episode of Becoming Mindful.
As we look toward a new year, we paused to read and reviewed a beautiful book by Tara Brach called Radical Acceptance. The book takes you through the journey from self discovery to acceptance and ultimately to how to live from compassion to settle into a loving kindness routine.
This was such a beautiful framework that we have created a mindfulness challenge to offer our community (you!) in the new year. Join us as we establish a mindful new year with the support of this beautiful community. Sign up at becomingmindful.com/challenge for free. We hope to see you there.
Be well friends!

Hello friends! Maria and Jackie here returning from the holiday break with an exciting episode!
This month, we dive into the mindful practice of connecting with nature and our role in it through the beautiful book Braiding Sweetgrass. Written by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and Citizen of Potawatomi Nation, this book weaves indigenous wisdom and scientific data to illustrate how our we must become mindful to our connectedness to the natural world.
We both loved this book and recommend it to everyone. Thank you for this gift, Robin Wall Kimmerer.
